You Know You're Getting Old When...

[Juanita]

But, you kept the shades on....just saying.

Scratched the heck out of the left lens. And, I really don't like the new prescription. Guess I am getting old.

 

[malinoisvol]

Check, check, check and...check.

For a long time now, I thought I was just an imaginative kid. Haha. Glad to see that someone other than me remembers that snake pit. Ain't no way in hades I'd ever go into one of them like that man used to do.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Hope they got something else.

Other than honorable, if my old 58 year mind remembers. Oh course that was 33 years ago. I could making up stuff for all I know.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

If I have to get on hte floor at walmart to look for something, Ima just do without.

I like my job and I can always wash that filth off.

 

[Vjcvette]

When you can injure yourself just getting out of bed.....lol

8-Tracks and 45s.

When people younger than you die of old age. Happened to me once. Rufus Carter up and died in his sleep. He was just the kind of feller to do that too. Maybe some of you all knew him. In his early 50s. Big Florida Gator fan so at least there’s that one bright spot about him being dead.

My sister said she went to the funeral. Said they cremated him cause there’s a weight limit on transporting corpses. That’s Probably a lie.

400 pounds and left two women grieving according to her. I reckon if you are in the band nothing else matters.

When:

You can remember The Six Flags in Atlanta grand opening, the bear that drank soda pop at the roadside souvenir shop just after leaving Pigeon Forge, Gold Rush Junction, and Well Fargo in Pigeon Forge where they use to milk the snakes.

You know, you can still go to Tweetsie and it’s just like you remember. Maybe better. Just think it over.

In college, someone gave me a scratched up copy of Joanie Mitchell’s Blue without a sleeve or jacket. It became wall art.

 

[NorCalVol67]

In college someone gave me acid. It did not become wall art.

My brother said he went to Las Vegas and they saw "Big Elvis".

But then he said "'Big Elvis' had been on a diet, so really, we kinda only saw half of him"

I bought a George, No Show, Jones album in the 80's...got home and opened it and there was no record inside!

Bada-bum....I'll be here for 3 more minutes....

As a matter of fact, you just got back from a small town. As a matter of fact, the town was so small, when you plugged in your electric razor, the trolley stopped. As a matter of fact, the town was so small, the mice were stoop-shouldered. And that’s why you say, “Let me entertain you, ‘cause that’s all I want to do!”

Hope this makes up for the missing record:

I don't think that day should EVER arrive!!

Two of my neighbors were talking recently and the one I don't know well at all referred to me as "The Elderly Neighbor".

Edit: clarification, the two neighbors were txting about a problem with a dog owned by the neighbor I don't know and the neighbor I know forwarded the txt to me.

 

[GoDucks349]

So yea, I'm old, I remember getting indoor plumbing, going to a one room school 1-8 grades with 9 students and a 16 year old teacher, I remember getting electricity, riding a horse to school. Mom cooking over a stove fueled by corn cobbs. I remember seeing a TV ( color tv came about 10 years later) for the first time, I remember standing around the radio (before we had tv) with my sisters listening to Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger. I remember Joe McCarthy on the radio going on about the communists. I remember the "Duck and cover" drills incase of a nuclear attack. I remember watching the glow of sputnik flying in the night sky, I remember the first landing on the moon. JFK being shot..... And all of those happened before 1970.

Now just because someone is "Old" certainly doesn't mean they are mentally dead. That's the thing that irritates me the most about getting old or as my neighbor said "Elderly". Yea that p*ssed be off a bit.

That is why Bloody Mary’s were invented.
