You know you are getting old when:

You know that you are getting old when she says: "Let's go upstairs, and make love." and you think: "One or the other, I can't do both."

Or she says, "Let's make love," and you pause to consider your options because there are 45 minutes left on the televised sporting event or movie you're watching.

...and you use the word ‘thing’ all the time because you can no longer remember what things are called.

My wife does this a lot, then gets upset with me because I should know what she's talking about.

And a medicine-person have to standy by, next to your bed, to check your blood-pressure.

You know you're getting old when you're constantly thinking about "updating your will."

Along the same line - - sorta!

I’ve been contemplating writing down somewhere on my 1939 Ford panel, the do’s & don’t’s
for who ever owns it in the future.

And a medicine-person have to standy by, next to your bed, to check your blood-pressure.

Definitely an age related problem when the iron in your blood turns to lead in your pants.

You know that you're getting old when at the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating.

I learned today that an acquaintance from another time in my life passed away in 2009: Major General George W. Putnam,
a brief encounter never forgotten, he returned my salute and stuck out his hand- a mustang who rose from buck private and always cared for his men.

That's just it, last summer we had the best part of fifty friends in the garden for an enjoyable barbecue.
Not one single neighbour complained about the noise. Rats.

Last year, to celebrate the end of summer, a friend of mine had a back yard Rock concert featuring his band, all 60 plus in age, tell midnight, seemed loud to me, not one neighbor complained! I can remember a time, if we did that, the SWAT teem would be there.

You know you're getting old when people just a few years younger than you say that they "can't stand those old movies because people talk weird in them."

You know you're getting old when people just a few years younger than you say that they "can't stand those old movies because people talk weird in them."

When this happens to me, I smile & in a friendly way, I kid them.

I tell them that someday, someone younger will be saying the same thing to them.

This usually brings them to a slight pause & realization.

I always enjoy the look on their faces!

You know you're getting old when you buy a quilted tan jacket.

 

[Trenchfriend]

@Lean'n'mean

"Tan" means "bright brown-coloured"?

 

[green papaya]

You know your getting old when the ladies dont pay much attention to you like they use to when you were young, your no longer "EYE CANDY" to the ladies, your not a young buck anymore

now they see you as the "Old man" or Gramps

And if I may add.....
you know you are old when you don’t really "give a hoot" what anybody says when you go out in public wearing it.

Also, being told it’s not the “right” color for the season!


And at times I get a smile from a young lass, but am at a loss
as to why.

Is there such a thing as a “sympathy” smile?

@Lean'n'mean

"Tan" means "bright brown-coloured"?

Yes but light brown, or a dark beige.........I think it would be Hellbraun in German.........every elderly gent has to have a tan coat.

Yep I'm afraid so & it's probably because her granddad has a coat just like it....

As long as the ladies of your age lust after you, there's still hope.

 

[green papaya]

you know your getting old when the women stop doing the cat calls or make remarks when they pass by on the street, because they think your too old or you must be married.

I saw this movie the other night and thinking...
this is the way I wanna go, everyone dancing & having a good time !

Well given that the only time a young lady smiles at me is, when on public transport, as well as a smile, she offers me her seat. I would say, yes, it's all sympathy.
Consider yourself lucky though, the attitude of most people today is that if you are looking for sympathy you'll find it in the dictionary. It's between sh*t & syphilis.
