You Know You're Getting Old When ...

[watchdaddy1]

Er weren't you bald William?!

Yes, I use to shave my head ,but after my accident & stay in the hospital I couldn't use my arm for quite a while, so my hair started growing out & the wife asked me to keep it . Now I have to pay a barber & I just started growing a beard 4 the 1st time in my life.
BUT
Ohhhh how I love the barber experience. As I've been shaving my head since my teens.

You know you're getting old when you find out the guy you're diving with, who retired from a career in the Koninlijke Marine more than a decade ago, is younger than you.

Encounters like that certainly make me question my life choices.

...you have a favorite burner on your stove

...you keep boxes because, hey, that's a nice box

...the first thing you do when getting home from work is put on your slippers

...someone says, "That was 20 years ago," and you think they're talking about the 80s

...you appreciate a good handrail

...it takes longer to rest than it did to get tired

Other than the slippers, that’s me.

But to be fair, my stove sucks, so only like two burners really are useful.

For me, it’s former Liverpool and current Brighton footballer James Milner. Whenever I’d talk about him (fondly and positively, mind you), I’d always call him “the old man, dust in his veins, brittle bones” in my best Liverpudlian accent. He’s 3 months older than I am.

Definitely.

Yeah, it just takes more time to recover from things. The wife and I only ski on Saturdays now so we have Sunday to lay around the house and recover.

I hurt my back, which healed the I pulled my neck. That finally healed today!

I just pulled my neck again, other side this time.

When cutting your toenails feels like an event in the decathlon.

When you're listening to the news talking about an "elderly man" being robbed, they then say his age, and it's the same as yours.
