I knew I was getting on the old side when I told my wife, "There are three subjects: drinking, staying up late and having cex; from now on you must pick two".

I was old the day my HS kids told me that Aerosmith (Steven Tyler) was the best new band they heard!
Uhmmm (Step on my big 10 inch) was me and buddies HS theme song >20 years ago :(

I've been hearing these all day as it was my 59th b day. Enough already ;-)

I Don't Need No Rocking Chair
 

We may be gittin' old, but ain't we gittin' better! :D

According to George Jones,

YouTube - George Jones - I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair

Hey, happy birthday. A little secret - it actually doesn't get better as the years go by. But there is still fun to be had.

You know Ur getting old when,,,,,,,,,

...you're a little bit annoyed with the guy who started this thread because he used "text speak" in the title.

...you don't wash and vacuum your car very often any more.

...you remember you and your dad watching "The Falstaff Game of the Week" with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese and hearing Ol' Diz proclaim that when a fella gets hit with a pitch, he should never rub the place he got hit... and you remember when he'd say, "Ohhhh, he had a ripple on that one"... and when he'd sing "Wabash Cannonball" as the game's outcome was (in his opinion) settled.

...one of the things you got for Christmas when you were about 8 was a red and green Tonka Dump Truck and you loved it.

...you remember the whole family watching "The Wizard of Oz" almost every year beginning in 1956 (it wasn't shown in '57, '58, & '63) on a black and white TV until the old man sprung for a color TV in the late "60s and then finding out it was in sepia and color when Dorothy opened the door after the house fell. :eek:

...it doesn't really bother you that you're getting old... it has it's benefits... it's fun to play the curmudgeon thing for laughs sometimes... and nobody ever expects you to help them move any more.

........ when you hide your own easter eggs

U realize that the morning your gona wake up and find yourself dead is no joke...

Well ......... today the young girl at the barbershop gave me the senior's rate.

You know you're old when you catch a rerun of "The Breakfast Club" on TV and can sympathize with the teacher who's monitoring detention.

First thing in the morning I read the death notices in the paper. If my name isn't there I get up and have breakfast....
