You buy a grabber.
You always ask for the senior discount just in case there is one.
You buy life alert without your kids urging.
Your most important political issue is the future of Social Security.
Your wife tears up your “to do” list and hires a handyman.
You drive 10 mph below the speed limit because it saves gas and you’re in no hurry anyway.
You stop buying condoms and start buying KY jelly.
Strange women call you honey and you know they’re not hitting on you.
You take eight pills a day and you know exactly what each is for.
The car you bought ten years ago still has less than 10,000 miles on it and that includes the trip to California.
You keep a pipe wrench in the kitchen for opening jars.
When your Harley falls over you can't pick it up, so you trade it for a Vespa.
Having sex requires assistance from both your partner and the medical community. :bang:
No matter how many times you edit this post there's still a misteak in it.

When an attractive, young woman you are interested in starts having a personal conversation with you...and then reveals that she is looking to find a date, for her MOTHER...:eek:

Sadly, this happened to me recently...and changed my whole philosophy of life.

You stop being a grabber.

You always order the easier digested food

You start wondering how much space is left on your DVR sometime on Thursday

Your most important political issue is living as long as you can on Social Security just to get back at the government for stealing your frigging money

You know that you're getting old when the Viagra works but you have no recollection of what to do with the resultant.

You no longer have to ask for the senior discount because it is given to you automatically if there is one.

Test yourself at home?

The Department of Psychology at Havard has determined that:

"Older men may have difficulty with computers and Internet technology. Initial analysis suggests this may be due to brain aging, prior alcohol or drug abuse, and/or shrinkage of the occipital lobes -- resulting in deterioration of concentration and visual impairment.The Department of Psychology has developed this test to help you determine whether you have symptoms which may require medical attention:

and you swore they ran the Wiz Khalifa at Meydan on the Dubai World Cup undercard.

He did an event at my wife's store last year. The number one phrase in AA County that night was " What the hell is a Wiz Khalifa"

He is popular in Baltimore county though. He did have a #1 song. He recently moved to "rolling papers records" per wiki.

You do not recognize the songs played on the Golden Oldies radio stations because they are too new.

... obversations like the following hit you in the solar plexus with the force of a Sonny Liston haymaker:

"In my youth, once, when I had a really exquisite toothache, I suddenly realized that my tooth had temporarily become the center of the universe, that its outcries were more important than anything else, and that I would do absolutely anything to placate it. And as one gets older and starts worrying about cancer, one becomes more and more conscious of the fragility of the whole body, and with that consciousness comes a new and degrading kind of fear. It is degrading because it strengthens the desire to survive on any terms, and the desire to survive on any terms is the most base of all our instincts."

I gulped when they played Dazed and Confuzed followed immediately by Another Brick In The Wall on the oldies station the other day. That was bad enough... then I heard later that Red Hot Chili Peppers were going into the Hall of Fame or something... cripes.

I suppose it could be worse--if, say, you've forgotten who Harry Wendelstedt was. But once you've reached that stage, you've probably also forgotten that you ever knew who he was, and it doesn't bother you. :confused:

I was watching old #53, the late Don Drysdale, work to Dick Dietz with the bases F.O.G. (full of Giants) and Drysdale's scoreless inning streak on the line, when the flame-throwing righty plunked the Giants' backstop on the left elbow with a greasy heater. "Ball two!" saith Harry W. You know the rest of the story (at least I hope you do; I'm having a senior moment, myself :blush: )

The talk about Don Drysdale triggered memories of Wally Moon and Charlie Neal sending those pop-ups over the screen for homers.

You know you're getting old when you recognize someone in the obits as being your age, and your first thought is, "What happened? He probably died in an accident because he was much to young to go in any other way."

When two attractive young women who are your close, personal friends stop by to ask you:

" Which event in human history happend first ? Did you start work at our employer or were we born ? "

:blush: :lol: :D :(

Full gamut of assessing your age when that happened...
