You know you are getting older when.....
........You find yourself turning to the pensions page FIRST when reading the news. 
Incog. 
So have you any indications you are getting older?

Yeh...when you bend down to do up your shoelace, whilst you're down there you look around to see if there is anything else you can do !!

Re: You know you are getting older when.....
Everything hurts; and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.
You feel like the morning after and you haven't been anywhere.
Your children begin to look middle aged.
You finally reach the top of the ladder and find it leaning against the wrong wall.
You look forward to a dull evening.
You turn out the lights for economic rather than romantic reasons.
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
Your knees buckle and your belt won't
You regret all those mistakes you made resisting temptation.
You're 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, and 106 around the golf course.
Your back goes out more than you do.
Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl.
The little old gray haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.
You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.
You know all the answers but nobody asks you the questions.

You have to pay full fare on the bus (happened today - couldn't believe it! the b@stard wouldn't let me on!) but instead of huffing and puffing I smiled and said 'really?' as I realised - I'm growing up!
He must have thought I was a loon

I didn't realise full fare was 16 for ages- well for a few months after I was 16 anyway  thought it was 18...

Re: You know you are getting older when.....
When you stop listening to the charts 'cos you can't be bothered......it's all rubbish these days anyway.
or....
when you can remember the original version of a song and the one that is out atm is the third incarnation.
