You know you're getting old when

[DLCTEX]

You go to Cracker Barrel and look over the display of antique tools and implements and not only know them, but have used them!

[canyon-ghost]

Nobody says you have to tell off on yourself. The younger generation holds up a tool and says, "what's this?" just like we did.

[Harter66]

Its ok to know what a hog oiler , ice tongs and an apple peeler look like.

Now knowing how to rig and hitch a double draft on a walking triple plow because you ran one every spring and fall till you were 30 might make you look a little tired.

I resemble that remark!

Just back from a 3 week trip. Locked the safe and gun room and hid the keys in a safe place before I left. Told the wife where the keys were and now neither one of us can remember. It appears we are both suffering from a bad case of CRS (Can't Remember ****). It sucks getting old sometimes, but at least the keys are safely hidden from any intruders.

Now what was it I was going to say?

I don't know how to tell when you are getting old. Let me get there and I will let you know.....

An old neighbor that lived down the road from our farm told my Dad that he would put his extra gas barrel keys in the can of coffee grounds. This way when he made coffee he`d see the keys.Robert

I have skills that will allow me to give you entry to your room full of precious treasures. I take payment in items beginning with .30 ????????

[phonejack]

Worse yet, you not only have and use the old tool, yours is in better shape.

[gbrown]

Life is good. Walk into the bedroom, dining room, kitchen, garage---why did I come out here? Keys, glasses, etc. Where are they? Me and CRS are old friends. As Daddy said--there is an alternative to getting old! I'll take getting old. Make lists, forget where they are. Go to store, forget list. DANG! It's all good. Just adds humor to life. Have a place for everything, that's what I was taught. Where is that place? LOL

Or like a friend of mine once said, “You know how you can tell when you're getting old, when taking a leak feels almost as good as sex . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Almost!"

[dale2242]

..when your wife says " your hair is sure getting white"

[phonejack]

When it takes all night to do the things you used to do all night

[Bzcraig]

..when your wife says " your hair is sure getting white"

Little kids in all sincerity ask, "what happened to your hair?"

I actually know what you mean.

When you go into McDonalds and for the first time, the kids offer you the senior discount on a cup of coffee without asking.
