Signs We Are Getting Old

[Brownski]

I'm 54 and I remember smoking at the rear of the plane.

I was about to say the same thing. I remember smoking sections on planes but parts of this thread make me feel young

I turn 59 soon.

I think.

Yeah, that's gotta be right.

Fuck it.

They have to be paid to notice you. 30something cutie nurse in the ICU, “I like your hair”. She then kept me up all night creeping in my room, not in the way 30 something me would’ve liked. Another sign I’m getting old.

Not only do I prefer older, experienced, wise in the ways of the world women now, but I seem to be able to glance briefly, and condescendingly smile at all the young, vapid bimbos. Am I a super villain??

Wish me luck fellas. About to try to change my fitted sheets. Pretty sure I got this.

Not quite up to doing the duvet cover tho. I need to stretch a few days before getting into that mess.

I once hurt my upper back getting a chicken breast out of the freezer (a stand up freezer). That was a sign.

During the flight one passenger pulls his handgun on another. Is subdued by everyone. I think he got the gun back before the end.

Pearl Jam's SECOND album, Vs., turns thirty this week.

Early 90's Pearl Jam was gonna give a free concert in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Day of the show Eddie Vedder gets food poisoning, has to bail, but lines up Neil Young, (one of his idols, then in his 40's), as a replacement. Young comes out and does a kick-ass set, (Rocking In The Free World era), and the kids were all like "Fuck that old man!" Classic!

That's fucked up. Women that age should be good to go at any time.

My wife’s so old she needs astroglide. She used to be naturally wet

I'm 54 and I remember smoking at the rear of the plane.

I remember flying in 1979 down to Florida. My father was insanely scared of planes (and microwaves - he worked in a nuke plant). He took me upstairs to the bar and he smoked and drank whisky and I had a Roy Rodgers. I didn't fly after that until I was 25. It was quite different. On that trip I learned to swim. My father threw me off of the cement very high dive and I learned swim or die. Not nice, but effective. That pretty much summed him up. I do wish I could talk to him, and also punch him in the face really really hard, but I held his hand when he took his last breaths alone. And I laughed as he died in the same room I was born in.

Damn. Would have liked to have seen that. Neil Young is the godfather of grunge.

Last fall we went out and visited out daughter in NYC, and we met her and her BF for dinner on a Friday night. As my wife and I walked to the subway after dinner the street and sidewalk were packed with young people going into, or spilling out of bars and restaurants and we were easily the oldest people in the neighborhood by at least 30 years.

I felt so old, but it felt really good at the same time.

Timely post -
some recent signs I've just gotten - on phone with auto insurance co last night - " thank you for being with us for 28 years" fuck me
Also - just 30 minutes ago - after fixing a tire - took a while to get back up off ground.

Was talking to USAA 2 weeks ago, and they gave me the same thing, it was 30 years.

My AAA wallet card has "Member for 49 years" printed on it.

9/11 put an end to that. You would really be old if you remember smoking butts/joints in the smoking section towards the rear of an airplane.

I’m “only” 46, we went to Spain for our junior year in high school Spanish class trip, half the class stood in the back of the plane ripping butts the whole plane ride. The smoke was thick in there and nobody said a word.

Pearl Jam's SECOND album, Vs., turns thirty this week. Heard that on the radio and it made me sad.

I remember being a 15 year old in 1989 and having a friend who’s dad was into the Beatles. He had a bunch of posters and albums in the basement. And I just remember thinking how seriously old the Beatles were, like so old timey.

Their 2nd album was 26 years old in 1989.

Work organized a happy hour yesterday at a brewery across the street. I rarely drink anymore, but I had ONE beer to not look like a stiff. That was at 5:00 pm and I was up to pee five times during night.

When I was in high school third-year Spanish students got to take a week-long trip to Ensenada. Pretty sure that hasn't happened in quite some time and never will again.

The music thing is funny. My eighth grader and all his friends mostly listen to '90s alternative. Green Day, Blink, etc.

I'm not, 41. Eight doctors, a multitude of tests and Rx drugs tried, and no answers. The only thing I know for sure is that alcohol makes it much, much worse.

[m2711c]

starting a thread to bitch about being old is something that an old person would do…







fact.

One sign is continuing to use black and dark letters when 95% of us fogies still use the TGR blue background.
