You know that you're old when: it's a Tuesday, it's your birthday, you're a grandma - you get one card from your mother with a cheque inside (bless her), one card from your partner of eleven years saying "To My Girlfriend" and two emails at work. Roll on tomorrow.......
There is no past tense to Love, either you always will or you never did. ....

You know you're getting old when you find it easy to get up early in the morning.

You know you're getting old when you register on a new web site & to answer your age requires scrolling down, down, way down for your birth year. Hope -- and Cope.

You know you're getting old when in your exercise class, they have a session on how to get up when you fall. I had that today.

When you start saying "youth is wasted on the young".
We are not lost! We are just not where we planned to be.

You know you are getting old when all your children collect Old Age Security. Told to me by a 92 year old. (he lived to be 100+)

You know you are getting old when you critique the young in terms eerily reminiscent of your own parents....

... when time flies really fast and you start thinking life's too short.
... when people expect you to be married at your age.
... when you're expected to be responsible and mature, and behaving like a child or a teenie bopper would raise an eyebrow or would make people >> ... then screaming teenagers annoy you sometimes :p
... when you understand people a little bit more.

While walking to the refrigerator I forget whether I was going to get a Coke for my wife or a beer for myself. Even worse: I return with a glass of milk.

I recall an old joke that's some slang but quite striking one...
An old woman tells her doctor: "doctor, I have some gastric problems. Though there's no smell and no sound but still I've been farting too much since I'm in your clinic."
Doctor consults her some medicines and suggests her to visit the next day.
The old lady comes with the same problem and tells angryly: "doctor, my gastic problem has increased, they now smell very bad.
Doctor: "Oh good, your nose is getting okey, and you need to treat your ears now."
(forgive me please )

Doctor: Since when you have this problem?
Old man: What problem?

You know your getteng old when you get (another) wound.

When you quit Mark Zuckerberg's company. Bill arrives at the pearly gates and sees three files tagged A, B and C. By chance he sees a friend from facebook. He asks: "Am I in the right lane?" Answer: "That's what everybody asks, but don't worry, for you they're all right".  A stands for Assholes, the B means Bitches and Cheaters are supposed to join the long row C.
