Re: You know you're getting old when ...
That's me Margaret...and has been for quite a long time.
No longer do I walk round in shoes that chew the skin off my heels or toes...I wear what is comfortable..
I will consider myself old when I cannot run up Riley's hill(so far I can still do it without getting out of breath).
I will also consider myself old when I need to have a potful of pills to keep me going(so far..thankfully, I take nothing prescribed)
I am not quite as flexible as I used to be(that, I suppose, is a sign I am getting old)
My vision is crap too(cataract surgery will be required soon, I fear).
So if I am out and about and do not acknowledge you...please forgive me. I cannot see your face until you get ten feet from me.
