You Know Your Getting Old When....

When I turned on General Hospital just for kicks one day and I wondered if General Hospital name might be changing to Geriatric Hospital?
Or how about now Mama from the old time sitcom "Mama's Family" now is one of the leads on a sitcom about the lives of four oldies living in a retirement community.

I'm 72 and all my doctors are younger than me. I have weather knees,when the weather changes my knees hurt more than usual. I probably qualify for a senior citizen discount for every restaurant I go to. Handicapped parking is like having your own spot at wal mart, that is when you can find one. Frank
 
Have always enjoyed shooting anything. Big rifles ... big handguns ... whatever. My hands now have arthritis. Hurts pretty bad. I do far less with an axe that I once thought normal. Now handwriting is a problem. Have about gotten to the point that I cannot shoot my revolvers w/ wood grips. Got a pair of Pachmayr grips coming for my K-frame 19-3. Hopefully this will help some. Still ... I can enjoy shooting .22 LR. That's something. Got a Marvel 1911 conversion unit that I can shoot well. And of course there is my beloved little model 18-3. Superlative handgun! Got a Sig 226 that w/ 9mm range ammo is comfortable for some shooting. Oh well. Got to clean my bi-focals and head out to church! Sincerely. bruce.
 
When you watch reruns from TV programs that were popular in the '50s and '60s and can remember how each episode turned out!
 
My wife & I were out to dinner when the server asked if we wanted coffee, decaf or regular. I said; "High test" and got a blank stare in return. This young woman had never heard that term applied to coffee and I felt very old, very quickly.
 
You Know Your Getting Old When....

...your childhood toys are in antique stores
...you remember when the U.S. had less than 50 states
...you clean a drawer in your desk and find the gas rationing cards that you did not use
...retired people call you sir.
...you did not remember the last time anyone checked if you were old enough for anything including Medicare and Social Security
...you remember most John Wayne movies from when you saw them in their theatric release
...everyone lets you sleep in because they figure that, at your age, you need the rest.
...you truly believe that revolvers are better carry guns than the double stack semi automatic firearms.
...you see a strange, beautiful young woman and the first thing that you think about is the high maintenance and extra drama that her husband/boyfriend "must" endure.
