You know you’re growing old when you …

Trailer for sale or rent...
That reminds me. I used to sing this Roger Miller song to my wife (she liked Roger Miller)...

England swings like a pendulum do
Bobbies on bicycles two by two
Westminster Flabby the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of her little hind end
 
..........."These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you...
 
... look at a college football roster and realize they were all born after you retired from a 20-year career in the military.

... all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of the number attached to it.

... an "all nighter" means not getting up to pee!

... a typical "late night" ends with Leno's monologue.

... you stop wishing for a BMW and are happy with just a BM.

... you realize you aren't really learning patience, you just don't care anymore.

... you hear your favorite song -- on the elevator!

... just when you know all the answers, no one asks you any of the questions.

... everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

... many of your co-workers were born the same year you got your last promotion.

... your friends call at 10 p.m. and the first words out of their mouth are "I hope I didn't wake you."

... finally become interested in learning just exactly where your prostate is.

... you no longer get winded running long distance, you get winded just DIALING long distance.

... when you step off a curb, you look right, look left -- and look down, to make sure you aren't going to miss the street.

... the girls at the office stop winking at you and start confiding in you.

... the gap between what you look like and what your driver's license photo says you look like isn't all that big.

... that little grey-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.

... you can pinch an inch -- on your forehead!

... you can remember that the reason they originally called it Motel 6 is because that was the room rate.

... you and your teeth don't sleep together.

... you believe you have a clear conscience but it is actually a bad memory.

... you feel like the morning after and you didn't go anywhere the night before.

Okay, you're making me feel old again, lol.

Dialing? You're spoiled. The crank on my phone hurts my elbow.

I hate to admit it, but women don't look at me anymore when I'm out in public. Kinda hurts.

I just got a new license the day before yesterday. I called my wife right after I got it and told her I just took the worst license picture I've ever had. And I really did expect it to pretty much look like the last one, lol.

I know this is a fun thread, and let's keep it that way, but let me say that now that I'm old enough to have seen people in the vigor of mid life grow old and die, I saw how deceiving it can be to unbelievers to think that just because we become nice little old grandma's and grandpa's that somehow we are no longer guilty before God for the lives we've lived.
