You know you're old...
 
When you know more dead people than live ones...

TNT009 17 May 2025 05:38 AM

Know the feeling.

Maleg 17 May 2025 05:43 AM

Are you alright?

I'm pretty old. But I've maintained a social circle across a broad range of ages, from college students through WWII vets. I've experienced my fair share of losses, but I don't dwell on the lost. Rather I focus on those that are still with us and the interests we share.

It's a state of mind that helps you navigate your retirement years. You've left the workforce, where many of the younger folks in your life were, and now you're spending a lot of time with people who don't have much time. Broaden your experience, seek out a new crowd, find ways to find purpose and surround yourself with a new crowd that share your vision.

Annual electronic address book maintenance is taking more effort with each passing year.

Make each day count.

Every funeral we go to we get closer to the front..

My favourite Barista (age - late 20s maybe) has just left to become a Funeral Director.
I said "I hope I don't ever see you again" She said "The feeling is mutual!"

When your walking and you tripped over, no no no you "had a fall".

AzPaul 17 May 2025 09:59 PM

When you catch yourself thinking things like, 'That's a nice box. Better hold on to that one.'

In light of recent events, I'm older than the Pope.

Your stylist spends less time cutting your hair and more time trimming your eyebrows :rofl:

Maybe it's all just in my head.

That an ominous start to this thread. I'd say losing hair where I want it and growing it in spots that I don't.

Sneezing and throwing your back out:crying:

Yeh, my thoughts exactly. I was expecting some kind of "you miiight be a redneck iiif..." (Jeff Foxworthy) kind of joke, not this morbidity. Please lean on your social circle & family to assist in alleviating your woes.

You know you're old...
 
...When you start wearing Depends. :twit:

Looks, fits, and feels like real underwear.

Features a comfortable cotton-like fabric, and an elastic waistband, and yet still provides maximum absorbency for total protection.

Worry-free odor control.

Features ultra-slim fit that can be worn under any clothing.

Doctors always recommend that you keep moving to stay healthy. It's good advice both physically and mentally. You have to force yourself to get out of the waiting room and into a social circle that stokes your passions and keeps you intellectually active. We all need a daily recharge from a positive upbeat crowd that keeps the joy in our existence. If you lock yourself in with people waiting for the end you'll quickly find yourself at the end.

When you wake up, sit on the side of the bed and wonder "how much is this gong to hurt"
