You Know You're Growing Older When

[Samray]

- Everything hurts , and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work anyway.

- The gleam in your eyes is from the sun hitting your bifocals.

- You feel like you really hung one one the night before, and you were in bed asleep by eight.

- You get winded playing chess.

- Your children begin to look middle-aged.

- You join a health club and don't go.

- You begin to outlive enthusiasm.

- Your mind makes contracts your body can't meet.

- You know all the answers, but nobody asks the questions.

- You look forward to a dull evening.

- Your favorite part of the newspaper is "25 years ago today!"

- You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

- Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

- You're 17 around the neck and 42 around the waist.

- You stop looking forward to your next birthday.

- Dialing long distance wears you out.

I like the 25 years ago one, I always read it when we get a paper

[Samray]

and ...


- Your back goes out more than you do.

- A fortune teller offers to read your face.

- You turn out the lights for economic reasons rather than romantic ones.

- You remember this week that last week was your wedding anniversary.

- You are startled the first time you are addressed as "Old Timer".

- You answer automatically when someone addresses you "Old Timer."

- You burn your midnight oil after 9:00 p.m.

- You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.

- Your pacemaker makes the garage door go up when you see a pretty girl walk by.

- You get your exercise acting as a pallbearer for your friend who exercised.

- You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet.

- The best part of your day is over when your alarm goes off.

- The thought of getting out of bed never occurs to you.
