Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

Ok, ok, ok... goddarn ear pubes are on the agenda, we get it!!

You could at least approximate when they're likely to appear... I like to think my ears will remain child-like forever... so when must I begin saving for my Remington nose and ear hair remover?? Hmmm?

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

In the interest of receiving an accurate "scientific" answer my current age isn't irrelevant. Whatever I say, I'm surely to be told it's "imminent".

in the interest of scientific accuracy, based on evidence you have provided.. my un-educated prognosis would be...
if it hasn't started by now, it will soon relative to a geological time frame.

but 35-40 seems typical. 40-45 latest.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

I felt horribly old when I was at work one day and began humming the "Smurf" theme to pass the time while I was folding silverware into napkins. My co-worker asked me what I was humming and I told her "The Smurfs" while looking at her like she was a freak. Imagine my face when she replied "What's a Smurf?"
I could just hear the dust cloud that was my heart stop beating.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

I didn't know ear hair could make one feel old.  After all isn't "feeling" old simply a state of mind?  I have days when I get out of bed I am tired, cranky, and my back hurts.  Those days I "feel old"  But days like today, however, I bounced out of bed went for a long walk, and cleaned the whole house.  I "feel tired" not old.

The thing that made me feel old recently is seeing an old friend.  I knew her when she was 11 (just a kid)  In my mind she should be right around 14 or so.  Realization strikes when I found out she is 21.  I ask myself "how can she be that old?  I'm not that old am I?"  The answer is yes but I refuse to act like it.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

No matter how you feel, when you get dressed up, look in the mirror to make the final adjustments and notice ear hair... well that just kills it.

That has nothing to do with getting old. That happens when you're still young. Especially if you have kids.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

The Age Project shows that it's easy to guess some people's age, others not. I'm lucky; I usually feel pretty young and most people guess my age much younger that my actual age, which, at my age, makes me feel even younger.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

When nothing's funny anymore. And the tv is always too loud. And you go to bed before 10pm. And you wish  you could move out of the city to someplace quiet and nice. You think flat front pants and cotton dockers are a permanent part of life. All you think about is money and your bald spot.

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

Watching the 1973 movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" for which Bob Dylan's song "Knockin on Heaven's Door" was written. Remembering seeing it in the theater and thinking that Kris Kristofferson and Bob Dylan were "old guys". Now, they look like REALLY young, fresh faced kids in that movie and realizing that I'm older now than they were when they made the movie.

If you haven't seen the movie, it's worth watching. Lots of "old" cowboy stars in it.

Seeing "Play Misty for Me" with Clint Eastwood in it with long hair and sideburns. Remembering a guy standing up in the theater shouting, "Don't go in there!" when the psycho lady was hiding behind the door with a butcher knife waiting for Clint. I'm older now than Clint was when he made the movie. In other words, the Clint in the movie is too young for me.

Seeing "The Owl and the Pussycat" on TV and remembering that my dad told me to not see it at the theater. It was too risque for a young woman and I'd already seen it... twice! Now it's shown on afternoon TV and is much less risque than the soap operas!

Think I need to listen to "Time Passages" by Al Stewart! smile

Re: Top 10 signs you're getting old.

I have found myself looking at young people and wondering why they seem so timid, conservitive and risk averse.
Kids today: They just dont know how to party.
