Location: Budd Lake, NJ | ......when you tell your twenty-something son that you'd like to get yourself a bicycle to tool around your quiet, residential neighborhood (carefully avoiding the highway and busy streets) and he looks at you and says, "Mom, are you NUTS?? You don't bounce as well as you used to!!!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The really degrading part about that is, he's right... :(
(I guess it's a good thing I didn't mention the skateboard... :D :D ;) )

When the repairs you made to your house years ago, repairs that you did so well that it should never need repairing again, needs repairing again. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | An older lawyer told me that one. I thought he was old then, but he was younger than I am now. In fact, he spends about half his time over on the big island. Maybe that's why he's still doing so well when he's in his 80s.
He made all the buku bucks and then lost it on real estate investments. If I made buku bucks, I'd be a much better guitar player and golfer. |

You know you're getting old when you have professional coworkers younger than your own kids.
You know you're getting old when your goal isn't to be on the first chair up the mountain in the morning so you can ski 100,000 vertical feet in the week. When your kids can outski you down the expert runs, and you were on the ski team in college. When you are the one calling for a 'hot chocolate' break and complaining about your boots hurting. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I hear you on the skiing. It's a great feeling though when your kids pass you. I told this punk on the chairlift once that I was about done for the day because my thighs were burning. He suggested I see a doctor for that. |

Location: Yorkshire, England | Are we turning into our Dads in regard to our reaction to what passes for modern music?
(although me and my Dad did appreciate a fair bit of the same kind of music - we both recognised talent I think !)
I believe I started to lose interest in the UK music charts around 1990.
Or....... Could it actually be CRAP?
A case of `the king's new clothes' methinks !
Most of the stuff over here is crap, but people tell us we're supposed to like it. |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | The other night, my 2 year old daughter was having trouble getting to sleep. I read her a story and told her that I would stay with her until she fell asleep. I ended up laying on the floor next to her bed for a good 45 minutes until she FINALLY nodded off.
Now, all I had to do was to sneak out without waking her. As a went to stand up, my knee sounded like someone stepping on a a roll of bubble wrap. Of course, that was enough to disturb my daughter's fragile sleep. I ended up going back to my position on the floor until she nodded off again. Needless to say, I crawled out the second time! |

John....this one had me absoluately cracking up as I just went through it with my 2 yo grand daughter who stayed with us a couple of nights. Only it wasn't bubble wrap...It had to be those durn kids and fire crackers.
On a bright note, guy that works for me mentioned he hired a fellow and referred to him as a youngster. I inquired, "how old is he", he said, born in 1958....THANK YOU BILL....I WAS BORN IN 1957 SO I WILL TAKE THE YOUNGSTER CLAIM TOO. Now if only my back wasn't hurting so much. |

You know you're getting old when you have professional coworkers younger than your own kids. My coworker and I happen to have the same last name. A week after I had helped one of our saleswomen through a computer problem over the phone he mentioned that he had called her to see if the problem was resolved. She answered, "Oh, yes! Your dad helped me with it and it works fine now."
We all had a good laugh, and I said, "Right, like I'm old enough to be your father." It got real quiet, and one of the secretaries (who happens to be about my age) said, "Uhmmm..."
I did the math. Then I went home and sat in my soft chair and felt really tired. |
