OT: You know you're old when...

... you know the brands of toilet paper better than the brands of cars. Feel free to add what you've learned about the "golden years".
 
You know your old when the kid behind the counter tells you that " You can get the seniors discount ". I am 55 , and don't think that the term senior quite fits me yet . I feel it should be reserved for folks 65 and over , seems more respectful to folks that have worked there way through life , retired , and are shown some regard for a life well lived.
 
The preacher was here the other day and said I should be thinking about the hereafter. I told him I do, every day, whether I am in the cellar, in the garage,or go upstairs I stop and think, what am I here after?
 
I'm 56 soon to be 57 in a month. I like to ask the cashiers at restaurants what the age a person has to be to receive the senior discount. You'd be surprised the answers I get.
 
You know you are old when people ask you about things that happened over 50 years ago....and you can remember them! Ben
 
i use to ask younger people what was the name of the band Paul Mccartney was in before he started wings . now thy say who is Paul Mccartney .
 
I go downstairs to get a roll of paper towels off the shelf in the basement.Wanting to save steps and be efficient,I grab some potatoes out of the bin for later while Im down there.Come up the stairs,,the wife says,,,wheres the paper towels?
 
Thomas Jefferson said a man is known for his actions, not his age.

Ever since he told me that, I quit worrying about it.
 
Let's see, was that a 1950? 60? 70? 80? 90? or 2000 year model widget?
Reagan was president in 19??????????
Dual headlights came out on the ????????? model cars. (1958).....had a '58 Ford 4 door custom.
Ford Jubilee was a ??????? year model......(1953) Fords 50th anniversary, their 1st overhead valve 4 cylinder tractor and 6 and V8 auto/truck engine (check me on that).

This is really not a laughing matter to me (sorta). When I was a kid we prided ourselves in being able to name every car and year of mfgr. we'd see, and to look at a bolt head and know whether it was a ⅜, ?, or whatever to select the correct wrench. Today forget it on that and everything else.....the decades get tangled up as do what wrench to use.....SAE "Crescent" wrench in one hand, Metric in the other.....HA!
 
You know you're old when you qualify for ALL the senior discounts, no matter what age. I only lack one- cheap fishing license at age 70 in Washington- 2 years to go.

I notice young folks, even scruffy-looking ones, usually hold the door for me.
 
bought a lifetime jc penny battery in 1975 for my 69 marquis convertible ,.. jc penny replaced it twice ,.. then about 1993 told me no more ... I guess it was a Clinton mentality
 
When you go into an antique store and say O, I remember
that.
(Got that one from a younger friend.)

Found a box of 12 ga shotgun shells in my ammo supply with a
sales tag, K-mart $ 2.65.

Enjoy your holidays, jac
 
you find ammo in your closet made in the 1960's, you see a post on social media of "remember when" and you not only recognize the item, your still using it ! thats because its made in America, and it still works
 
Someone gives you directions and says turn left at the old Smith place and you know where they mean.
 
When I was a young sprout I noticed any young lady under 20. As I got older I started noticing the mothers of of of those age girls. A few years ago I starting paying attention to the grandmothers. I guess I'm a lot like Fred Sanford, I'll be a dirty old man until I'm a dead old man :lol:

Yep - AND they are even patient enough to wait until you get there - God Bless 'Em! :)
 
Bruce, my wife is 6 years older then I am and still looks 6 years younger then me. When I was 55, she was able to recieve some senior discounts but didn 't, it was me that got those discounts.
 
5 mg of Tadalafil before breakfast daily and 1 mg of Terazosin just before you eat supper will fix that. Will take a couple of weeks for your system to adjust and get cured.....lets you sleep most of the night too and when it's time, there's a reason, not a false alarm.

See your GP for prescriptions. Tadalafil is generic Cialas and works for BPH as does Terazosin which is generic (Tier 1.....cheapest) for Hytrin.
 
My wife is a retired teacher and now substitutes part time. One of the children in a class she was substituting in was the GRANDSON of one of her former 3rd grade students.
 
most of the folks you work with get together on Monday and discuss their weekend and get together on Friday and discuss weekend plans, but your not included in either conversation.
