Foo - How to know when you're starting to age

It's Friday, and until what seemed like very recently, I liked to kick off the weekend by going out with friends and hitting the hooch. As has been my past habit, tonight I drank throughout the evening.

However, my tastes have changed -- I probably put down a quart and a half of milk. And the funny thing is that this is a normal Friday for me. At least I'll feel good for my training ride. Gotta wake up at 5, but that should be no problem.

You'll be the first to know when I start to age.


I'll age with my heels dragging.

When you have to tune into the "oldies" station to listen to "the music you grew up with" :mad:

When the hair dresser tells you that maybe you ought to consider a little "color".

When you are older than your doctor.

When you're older than one of the guys running for President.

I freakin' found a gray beard hair! Oh lordy...

***** starts hurting for no reason.

cute girls give you the "creepy" look when you smile at them.

When you think you're younger coworkers are nuts because they stay up until 11pm every night and wake up only 30 minutes before coming to work.

When you have to tune into the "oldies" station to listen to "the music you grew up with" :mad:


the best of the 80's.....



Hold on one bleepin' minute! The 80's weren't that long ago, I'm a kid at heart. It's my eyes and body that tell me otherwise. Oh and the kids...."Daddy did you watch Hanna Montana when you was a kid?"

You're 20 years older than the student nurses...Man this blows getting old. Still haven't heard hey gramps but I'm sure it's coming.

When you've had perfect vision your whole life, and next thing you know you can't read the print on a medicine bottle.

Everyone's ageing ...
Health is the slowest possible rate of death.

Good talk I watched yesterday:

When my students accidently start calling me 'Grandma' on a regular basis...

when your favorite childhood shows start appearing on Nick at Nite

When you realize the women you're racing with are young enough to be your daughters. :eek:

When you're 'droping the hammer', not wanting a pair of cyclists to pass you on the road - and when they do, you realize you're older than both their ages put together....young whippersnappers! :notamused:

When you are older than your professors, and get called Professor in the halls at College.

When you are older than your doctor.

this is true

I recently had a cute 20-something nurse calling me sweetie, etc ("just get up on the table for me honey") - and it wasn't flirting. More like the way she'd speak to an old man........

Kinda depressing, but it's been a while since a complete stranger called me sweetie, honey, etc, so I'll take it:rolleyes:

when the second thought that pops into you head after A nice looking lady walks by is: wait ,my daughter is older than her:cry::bang:

This is why I refuse to get old....

Sounds like she was Southern.
Hon, sweetie, darlin', are standard forms of address.

Could be worse, when it's only on NPR you are real old.

When you start using hexidecimal notation to keep your age under 39.

I freakin' found a gray beard hair! Oh lordy...
There is an easy solution. See my avatar.

Ten years. You have just ten more years, then it's Santa.

Don't worry, kids still listen to this crap. One of the student workers was trying to tell me about some band I would never understand -- it was Pink Floyd. They also listen to the same punk, metal, and whatnot we did back then though some other stuff has been added over the years.

When I was their age, there was no way I'd listen to anything someone from my parents' generation thought was cool (though my mom did like Floyd).

no, this was NY. I am pretty sure it was the old fart address.

I haven't had to figure that out yet. Still only 22.

Ten years. You have just ten more years, then it's Santa.

yup. I didn't have a beard for many years, tried to grow one a year or two ago and was shocked to discover the whole chin area is Ernest Hemingway white. Def adds about 10 years to my appearance, so no more beard for me, which stinks cause I think I look better with one, in general....oh well......there goes my modeling career:rolleyes:

+1000

Happened to me last week. A lady 18 yrs. my junior beat me in a sprint for the finish on the Winters Road Race. I remember thinking, "F**! I hate this!"

Just wait 'til next year, heh, heh, heh...:rolleyes:;)

I dunno, My Grandmother loved Rush, and requested "Closer to the Heart" be played at her funeral. This was a woman born in 1910, by the way.

None of my grandparents ever had such refined tastes. That's cool!:thumb:

When you have to put your glasses on to see the TV. And then take them off again to read the newspaper.

Yep...

That and when you go to the bar with friends, you realize all the "kids" in the room are 19 and really do look that young.

Or, you start saying "man if I was a bouncer I wouldn't let them in" only to realize that the bar would be empty.

Bob for apples in a bucket of Nair? :P

How do you know they aren't peaches? :p

When you've had perfect vision your whole life, and next thing you know you can't read the print on anything.
