You know you're getting old when you start getting spam suggesting you find a meaningful relationship on "Senior People Meet." Like hell, buddy.
Not long after my mother-in-law died in 1986, my wife suggested to her father (who was in his mid-70s at the time) that he visit a local center where senior citizens gather to socialize. After considering it for a while he decided it might not be such a bad idea, and visited the center to see what it was like. He stayed for a couple of hours before excusing himself so that he could "go home to eat lunch", and never returned. When my wife asked him why he didn't want to go back, he replied, "That's for old people." Mind you, this is a man who was legally blind, seriously hearing impaired, suffered from congestive heart failure and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and who, when he was in his early-80s, visited his doctor with the complaint, "Lately I go out and do a little yard work for three or four hours, then I have to go inside and rest for a while. I think there's something wrong with me." lolYou know you're getting old when you start getting spam suggesting you find a meaningful relationship on "Senior People Meet." Like hell, buddy.
I know I am getting old when I can see one person's "one and only post" being one of "I quit" !!!!! lolololol!
Having just returned from the Brimfield Antiques Fair, you know you're getting old when half of the stuff there is from your childhood!
You know you are getting old when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night...
OK, I'll get my coat.

Surely you're referring to sleep. I can't remember the last time I slept longer than two or three hours without waking up, or got more than six hours of sleep in one night.You know you are getting old when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night...
I never liked Ovaltine, I thought it was nasty stuff.
