you know your getting old when
 

.................you are in a supermarket and the guy that serves you says....'are you emma?' 'you used to be my babysitter'

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:




anyone else have any?

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Your Knees buckle........but your belt doesn't!

Your back goes out more than you do!

Your social calendar consists entirely of medical/dental/chiropody/physiotherapy appointments....and if it wasn't for these you'd have no social life at all.

You go to bed for an early night because you need the sleep.

You need a shopping trolley for your prescribed medicines.

You need your glasses to FIND your glasses!

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I score 4 out of six on that lot :p

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I had the same in a nightclub, the little lad i used to babysit for came over and put his elbows on my shoulders, towering above me lol

Re: you know your getting old when
 

well ive scored 2 out of the 6 and i'm only 32 :(

Re: you know your getting old when
 

i scored 2 and i am 25 :o

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I'm sure i could think of some more, but I'm having one of those 'grey' moments :D

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I KNOW I'm getting old......I used to dash up the stairs two at a time.....now if I have to go upstairs I look to see if there is anything that needs to go up there.......and while I'm up there I look to see if there is anything that needs doing while i'm up there

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Come on Margaret if you listed any more I would have to the vets to be put down..........:p

Re: you know your getting old when
 

No Royboy, you only scored 4 out of six and if the next lot were ones you couldn't attribute to yourself then your average would fall....letting you off the hook.

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Have bumped into 4 "adullts" that i used to babysit for :(

Re: you know your getting old when
 

You know you are getting old when you attend more funerals than weddings.

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Oooh, I score 1 out of 6!! Woohoo!! :D

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Go ahead..as the next lot does not compomise me..and I dont have to answer difficult questions...:do-one:

Re: you know your getting old when
 

You know you're getting old when a neighbour turns 18 and you remember them being born.

This has just happened to me. :eek:

Re: you know your getting old when
 

That is nothing.....just before I retired i looked after a young woman whose Foetal heart I had listened to before she was even born....and there she was...... having a baby herself.

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I feel young again!!! :D

Re: you know your getting old when
 

It made me feel really really ancient....but it made the girl and her mother feel good.

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Re. mislaying reading glasses - I read somewhere that when you put your glasses down, you should take a mental photograph of them in situ, then you can remember where they are - only thing is, remembering to take the mental photo in the first place!

Re: you know your getting old when
 

Quick answer.....if you only need glasses to read and have no other problems with you eyes....buy 5 pairs of ready made reading glasses at 1 pound a pair and scatter them about the house...my Spanish Keyboard has not got a pound sign...forgive :cool:

Re: you know your getting old when
 

I feel young again, I only scored 2 out of the 6, whoopeeeeeeeee

Re: you know your getting old when
 

No..... the reading glasses tip is no good for me.....I have fi-bocals....and the tip about taking a mental picture is good, but my glasses seem to have a chameleon like quality in that they can camouflage themselves with ease....anyway when i had my last prescription made up I had an extra pair made so that i have a reserve pair.....in a case in the sideboard drawer.

Re: you know your getting old when
 

You know you are getting old when the pots of wrinkle cream outnumber the tubes of lipstick:D

And when you choose shoes for comfort rather than fashion......and when you look for pants with elastic waistbands.......and when you choose big knickers to 'hold it all in place'.........and when you could carry five pound of spud in your bra cups.......I don't think any of these will apply to you Royboy:D

Re: you know your getting old when
 

You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead.

You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.

You can live without sex, but not without glasses.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

Your best friend is dating someone half their age... And isn't breaking any laws.

Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper.

You sing along with the elevator music.

You would rather go to work than stay home sick.

You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

People call at 9 pm. And ask, "Did I wake you?"

You answer a question with "Because I said so!"

The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.

You take a metal detector to the beach.

You wear black socks with sandals.

You know what the word equity means.

You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television.

Your ears are hairier than your head.

You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn.

You get into a heated argument about pension plans.

You got cable for the weather channel.

You can go bowling without drinking.
