    Besides gaining a little wisdom and experience along the way, the one thing about getting old: it beats the alternative. :smile:

    I say this all the time! Especially when people say "Dont get old" they may as well be telling you to drop dead!

    Maybe write on them, "Return to sender, not going there yet!" :smile:

    When you indulge in certain foods and they no longer agree with you...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Nice attitude...and metaphor =)

    I've got the goddamned knee-cracking thing when I stand up.

    And even better, those two irritating vertical lines between my brows, like Vedder's. Still, fuck Botox!

    When you post on a "You know you're getting old when" thread and feel a bit like an old fart... and then you remember that you started the thread and really feel like an old fart. :grimacing:

    When you go food shopping, pick up two of something because it's a good deal, get home and realize you already have two of the same item, one still unopened. Let's just say I have enough plastic wrap to last me a long ass time. :blush:

    I have to make a list. If I don't make a list I wander around the store and buy all the same stuff I already have at home. it's very sad.

    Same here. I have to write everything down. Sometimes when I get up for something across the room I think I should fly notes over there to remind myself of why I got up to go there in the first place. :lol:

    I learned at work to leave a note on my keys. If I have something in the fridge to bring home or something dumb to do on the way home like get milk. If I have something at home to bring to work I call my house and lv a msg. When i get home and listen to it I put things right in my bag. If its in the fridge...another note on my keys.

    Also...at least 2 times a month I get to work and have left my coffee and my lunch home on the counter. Try as I might I do it all the time!

    Even more sad, it was on my list. I made the list while looking at the ad at my dads, saw the sale, thought I needed it, then while shopping, thought this is a great deal, I should buy two.

    We've been giving my dad a hard time (jokingly) because he has multiple everything.
    He has 4 jars of peanut butter, 5 cans of pineapple, etc. He's 82.

    I got home from shopping and realized what I did and could only shake my head.

    You stop at McDonald's on a road trip and hear Brian Ferry and the Bangles over the PA. You think, hey, they're finally playing more current music in these places and then realize that that's what now passes for oldies.
