You know you’re old when……
 

Your radio is permanently tuned to a conservative talk radio station. I’ve been listening to Erick Erickson out of Atlanta.

I'm 68 and my fav station is 27 on sirius xm.
Normally Deep Tracks....but for a few weeks now it's Neal Young music.

66 here, Classic Vinyl (26) on Sirius.

^^^ classic rewind is good also

Yep, my #2 button.

Me:
Talk radio when driving the truck
Music when driving the Cayman

Sound quality has something to do with it but I'm hooked on talk radio too.

Okay, I'll admit it: this time of year my radio is locked onto the local FM station that's all Christmas music all the time.

That said, it never ceases to amaze me how absolutely dreadfully bad some of it is.

You know you're old when you can't stand anyone 20 years younger than you, but like most people that are older.

...when the tinnitus is so bad listening to the radio only makes it hurt.

You know you are old when you see a thread on SSA & COLA and not only know what they are talking about, but feel a need to check it out.

You know when you are old and see a thread entitled "recliners" and your first thought is "ahhhh..... recliners...".

Btw, my favorite station is Sirius # 67 Real Jazz.

I do listen to others (Tom Petty Radio #31, Deep Tracks #27, Symphony Hall #76, and more) but find myself always returning to that which helps me "mellow".

Talk Radio & cable TV "news", especially on the conservative side, appear to have business plans that focuses on holding listeners by making them scared and angry. To put my opinion of that in age-appropriate period vernacular: "Too much harshing my mellow, man..."

^^^ all good...except for the #76 part. Play the 27 or 31 cranked. :)

...you click on this damn thread :D!

Right on!

You click on this damn thread hoping for education but get confirmation instead.

…..…….the only women that find me hot now...……... have blue hair and are on Social Security.....

^^^ or the ones that call you 'sir'....I hate that.

You know you're old when you:
- stop searching for and listening to new music
- complain about everything
- don't want to learn new things
- think younger people are lazy, amoral, ignorant, etc etc

FIFY :)

...this is when you know you have arrived...

No, that's when you start to pick up on being wiser.

You'll know....

I nope I die before I get old.

^^^ you won't say that when you arrive.

That didn't work for Pete.

When I take TWO naps a day!

Wasn't it Roger who sang it? Anyway, I don't mean "age" old, I mean "outlook and approach to life" old. I have (and have had) friends and acquaintances in their 70's to late 80's who hqve maintained a fun and youthful aproach to life. I want to be like them.

Buying Viagra online VS. "just give me a damn Viagra" to doctor (not caring what the nurses think.)

edit- not caring what the medical records read.


clarification-
give=prescribe, not "give, on the spot"

The older I get, the faster I was...........

..and braver.

Why did they decide to make jelly jar lids so much tighter? :eek:

56 here and I still get morning wood. SmileWavy

Big stacks of cheaters everywhere and closed captioning on the tv a realistic proposition.

When you use phrases like
"I remember when..."
"Back in the my day..."
"You kids..."

or, the phrase "get off my lawn" seems to be perfectly reasonable!

Another tip off is music:
-Wait, Soundgarden is on the oldies station!?

or, you remember listening to new records from all the folks on the front of this magazine

You know you're old when you go to the store to pick up some one point fives and they are reading glasses.

My wife made this shirt for me some (10) years ago. I always wonder why.

74 here. Still legal to drive at night. Listening to 50's & 60's rock, Willie's Roadhouse, and lately, Seriously Sinatra.

57- I'll let you all know when I get there. You know you are not old when;

You don't listen to talk radio,

You like the oldies but still listen to new music and istalled a bluetooth speaker in the Edsel Convertible because the AM radio only gets oldies and you want to listen to Bruno Mars.

You see a thread on SSA & COLA and not only don't know what it is but feel no need to check it out.

You sleep through the night and laugh when others say they get up to pee.

you don't take any meds.

You finish in the top fifty percent in triathlons and Spartans competeing against those 19-57. When you beat those older then 57 they don't count they're old.

You take your cheaters off when shooting a lever action with iron sights so you get a better sight picture.

Some dude says hey punk get off my lawn.

you own any Edsel.
