I'll start: You know you're getting old when it's the middle of November and you're still not used to the new year. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

You know you're getting old when you're putting dot products in the diaper machine and the sediments coming out of your vector tree are aeolian and colloidal. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| You know you're getting old when when you read a post in ProgArchives and it has words and punctuation but you have no idea what it means. |

You know you're getting old when..... A Saga holiday sounds very appealing and a Club 18-30 holiday sounds like your worst nightmare. A Little old lady gives up her seat to you on the bus. Yes, that really happened to me recently!  The highlight of your afternoon is settling down to watch Gardeners World with a mug of Ovaltine. When you look forward to a dull evening in and a night out on the tiles is sitting on the patio. All you want for your birthday is not to be reminded of your age. It takes two attempts to get up from the sofa. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle and pop and you're not eating breakfast cereal. You sit in a rocking chair and you can't get it going. You sing along to the golden oldies muzak in shopping centres. All of the music legends you grew up with are now retired or dead.

That was one of my worst nightmares when I was 18, to be honest.

Hi, You know it is getting bad, when you hear your "mom" say ... "I'm going senile" and at 85, she still manages to do a corporate tax return a month or more. Or in my case, wake up in the morning and you are dizzy as heck, and all you can think of is how many women have said the same thing for another reason! Seems normal to me ... we start with "nothing" (nekkid and all!) and end up with "nothing" ... sort of like the wheel goes around full circle! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
