Default You Know You're Getting Old..When

This morning about 8:30 I was watching the brier, slice up an apple, popped the first piece in my mouth ......... no teeth in every day is an adventure

You know you are getting old when you wake up injured from something you did in your sleep.

You know you are getting old.....when people put their hand on your forearm, their eyes get really wide, and they say "Can I help you?"

You know you're getting old when you and your teeth don't sleep together!

When snap, crackle and pop was heard in a commercial for rice crispies Now it's your bones when you're bones when you're getting out of bed.

When you drop a $20 bill on the floor on purpose so you have a reason to bend down and tie your shoelace.

when you're in the bedroom with a beautiful woman and both of you are naked and you can't remember why.

You know you're old when you pack more medication than clothes for a weekend at the lake.

When you bend over to tie your shoes and look around for anything else you can do since you're down there anyway.

Recently retired, wife too.
We enjoy the freedom of just jumping in the car and heading out.
But at times we forget just where we’re going.

You know you're getting old if you wake up and can't find any wood.

I am a fan of slip-ons right now, but velcro is wooing me.

For me, I know I'm getting older because I now drive near or at the speed limit and under the speed limit after dark or in the rain.

When you wre intending to go to one town to shop, thought about going to the other, and find yourself 10 miles up the road towards the town you thought about going to, but don't remember making that choice at the intersection.
