Remember when we use to laugh at the commercial “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up?”
Yeah, it’s not so funny anymore… here’s some more … you might relate to some of them, I do.
You know you’re getting old when:
1- You know more doctors than neighbors.
2- You run into your neighbors at the pharmacy more often than you see them in the neighborhood.
3- The business offers you a senior discount even when you didn’t ask for one.
4- You try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren’t wearing any.
5- You turn down the radio in the car to look for the number of the house you are visiting.
6- Your back goes out but you stay home.
7- It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
8- It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
9- Getting “lucky” means you found your car in the parking lot.
10- It takes twice as long – to look half as good.
11- Your “get up and go!” has “gotten up and gone!”
12- You approach curbs and steps with respect, so you don’t fall and kiss the concrete (again).
13- When the candles cost more than the cake.
14- Your knees buckle but your belt won’t.
15- It feels like the morning after … but there was no night before.
Just remember getting older is better than the alternative
