. Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper. . Your ears are hairier than your head. . You have a party and the neighbors don´t even realize it. . You keep more food than beer in the fridge. . You carry an umbrella. . Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. . Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. . Happy hour is a nap. . You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.

You know you are getting old when you are aware that the opposite sex is no longer stealing glances at you. What a bummer.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Mark Twain There are 100 year-olds running marathons or doing Kung Fu. The way you treat your body when you are young, your body will treat you when you are old. And I think it is about time for some radical changes  .

Wisdom of the ages Sometimes, when I look at my children, I say to myself, 'Lillian, you should have remained a virgin.' - Lillian Carter (mother of Jimmy Carter) <><> I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.' - Eleanor Roosevelt <><> Last week, I stated this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister, and now wish to withdraw that statement. - Mark Twain <><> The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible - George Burns <><> Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people only once a year. - Victor Borge <><> Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. - Mark Twain <><> By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. - Socrates <><> I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury. - Groucho Marx <><> My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe. - Jimmy Durante <><> I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back. - Zsa Zsa Gabor <><> Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat. - Alex Levine <><> My luck is so bad that if I bought a cemetery, people would stop dying. - Rodney Dangerfield <><> Money can't buy you happiness ... But it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery. - Spike Milligan <><> Until I was thirteen, I thought my name was SHUT UP . - Joe Namath <><> I don't feel old. I don't feel anything until noon. Then it's time for my nap. - Bob Hope <><> I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.. - W. C. Fields <><> We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress. - Will Rogers <><> Don't worry about avoiding temptation As you grow older, it will avoid you. - Winston Churchill <><> Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty .. But everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out. - Phyllis Diller <><> By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step, he's too old to go anywhere. - Billy Crystal

You're getting old when you have more dead friends than living ones or have I said that before? Think I'll have to drop something on the floor to jog my memory.

I agree Ellenrita, lols. I was thinking to write just similar to this until I read your post :). Because I remember cleaning my stuff one time and get to read again the letters from my close friends way back during high school and college. I felt like I'm getting old fast.

I remember the exact moment I began to feel old. I had got a job at a new school and the English reader used for the graduating class had a picture of the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival on its inside covers.
And that was only ten years after - yep, I think they were there, too, but I don't remember - I had been there!!!!
Coincidentally (cf. the thread at 'word of the day') my hair began to turn gray that year.
