My get up and go has got up and went. Does that mean I'm
getting old? I think I have already arrived.

I have a RN that comes to the house twice a week and the last cold spell she was dressed like she was going to the next ice age. I kidded her about being dressed like Nanook of the north. Had to explain that one to her. Supposed to go down into the low 30's tonight and nanook is coming at 12:30 this afternoon. I still have a couple New York heavy winter coats as a fallback. N3B parka with wolf trim on the hood. and a couple others.I have a couple shirt jackets when the temps start to fall. Frank

When you tell the tour guide that the last time you were on the Queen Mary she was at sea between Southampton and New York. (Did that last weekend.)

The last time that I left The United States, I didn't need a passport to get back in.....
It was bad enough when you drove through the gate of a military installation and the monument was a piece of equipment you crewed in combat...
Imagine how it feels now that the "gate guard" was just entering service when you retired!

"It Takes Me All Night Long, To Do What I Used To Do, All Night Long"! �� Song by Nat Stuckey in the late '60's. Is much more relevant than it was in the '60's! ��memtb

....and then having her tell you that she went into Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Surgery because she doesn't want to treat sick old people like me. She doesn't want to replace my hip or my knee. She'd rather deal with healthy athletes who have a chance of getting better.....

I am not old, but...
When the clothes, shoes, et cetera you liked as a kid is now "vintage" and worth more than when new back in the day.

When a "Pup" makes a post about inheriting a
S&W from his Grandfather and requests the shipping
date listing the serial number.
It shows a shipping date of 1981...

My grandpa lives in my mirror.
That sure happened to me. I've been a stage actor, and I was in a play that was set in the 1930's. So to make my appearance period correct I put some Brylcream in my hair and raised the part. When I looked in the mirror my first thought was, "I just became my own granddad!"

You know you're gettin' old when the greeters at Walmart call you "sir".

When you have concert t-shirts from the 80's older than the new employees.

General Douglas McArthur wrote (I paraphrase) On visiting the Philippines after the war a young philippine girl welcomed me to the Philippines, at that moment I never felt so young, then she asked, "General, have you been here before?", I suddenly had never felt so old.

When you are walking up to the stores door and watching a cute co-ed walking up, and she opens and holds the door for you-and all you have to say is "thank you".
First time, you laugh it off. Second time, you start to think....

When you see a young starlet of your youth doing geriatric commercials on TV. Or, playing the grandma roles.
When your grandkids don't quite understand when you tell them you were born before TV.
When you remember getting change for a quarter when buying a soda and a candy bar.
And, my doctor did make house calls!
Best,
Rick

You know your getting old when you discover that you can't recall the details of the most precious events of your life. That fact occurred to me, while sitting in a recliner chair spending a sleepless night, last night. That folks, just scared the "Doololly" out of me, and made me realize what's "Just Around the Corner".
