You know you are getting old when:

Wait a few years, and milk chocolate will lose all meaning. Eventually, even straight baking chocolate starts to look good.

Oh no!! I'm definitely not ready for that day! I will begrudgingly eat milk chocolate if I have to!

You see that Valerie Bertinelli is 60 years old and you think how did that happen?
And then you realize you're the same age!

When the doctor with whom you first registered, told you that you are her last patient before she goes off on maternity leave. You congratulate her, wish her well and a safe delivery. I saw her baby bump recently, a big, strapping, six foot graduate, who would make a fine Rugby player. What happened?

Drugstore got a product named "Eye Gel roll-on" for men??

I'm too old for this shit...

An old girlfriend (a real heartbreaker, that one) was an avid outdoorswoman — not huntin’ and fishing’, but hiking and camping in the wilderness. She’d have us take the car to the very end of the unimproved roads and then set out on foot from there, up the mountainsides or along the creeks or whatever it was that unspoiled nature had to offer.

As it turns out, you can indeed camp more or less comfortably in the snow, on a mountain, in the dead of winter, provided you have the right equipment. I can’t say her enthusiasm for such activities rubbed off on me, but I can’t say I wouldn’t do it again, either. I acknowledge there’s something to be said for it.

I guess the more you get old the more you appreciate hiking and camping in the wilderness, I mean all this peace and quiet, minimum civilization, just a tent (does RV counts?), some tools, survival kit (like this just to be sure) and some sausages on an open fire.

Your favourite punk musicians are dying (at least in part) from natural causes.

Looking at a FB post of someone's grandmother's personal diary which was written in shorthand. The Original Poster wanted to know if anyone could translate it. Reading the comments, there are people alive today who have never HEARD of shorthand and were calling it "an alien language." I went to HS between 1989 and 1993 and shorthand was still a class you could take. I understand shorthand isn't a thing anymore for the most part, but geez! I just find it odd people are unaware of things that happened before they were born.

Used to be askill taught in the UK to both asipring secretaries and journalists. I know a few older journos who use it now, but more recently they've never heard of it - guess that's down to the rise of easy voice recording...

My recrod collection has spent the last twenty-five years rapidly becoming the only way I can listen to certain artists!

No joke:
Today, I was short-hiking the first time with a hiking stick, because I know, it's not healthy without all the time. Was nice! The first kilometers it was unfamiliar, but then I got my rhythm and felt okay.

When you watched Mr. Belvedere in the 90s.

I loved him!

As in Saved by the Bell?

I don't know that.

I don't know that.

American 90s high school sitcom, there was a Mr Belvedere character was the Principal, if I remember correctly. Coincidence, probably.

When you remember the old days, when entertainment required a little more than "Dad shaves his beard for the first time"-videos.

You must not be that old yet to say that. Trust me that, when you get old enough, your body complains mightily if you do much hiking and your back certainly won't enjoy camping out.

Hell, I'm at the age when my body complains mightily if I sit on the couch watching TV too long.

I'd much rather watch her do it.
