Pat Riot Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 S***! I am 61 and I have 2 of the 3 symptoms. I am doomed!

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I'm so old, I get nostalgic when I see neolithic cave paintings. I know I'm old when I get a phone call at 10:00 a.m., and they say: "did I wake you?" The older I get, the earlier it gets late. I told my doctor I wanted to stop aging. He gave me a gun. My wife spends more time wondering what I am thinking, than I spend thinking. Time waits for no man. Time is obviously a woman. I love older women, because they are used to life's disappointments...so...they are ready for me. I am at the age that, when I am faced with two temptations, I choose the one that gets me home by 9 o'clock. When you're young, embarrassment is forgetting to zip up your fly. For me, it is forgetting to unzip it. As I get to be more and more of a geezer, I remember all the people I have lost, along the way. Then I think to myself, perhaps a tour guide was not the best career I could have chosen When you are young, you make a lot of noise having fun. At my age, I make even more noise just bending over. As I get older, I find I am using my glasses more. When I was young, I just drank out of the bottle. I realized that I was getting old, when I saw a young woman, walking into the grocery store, and I thought to myself...I wonder what her mother looks like.
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 It's kind of a drag, actually. I always thought an exception would be made in my case..... But it has many compensations, and there are much worse things. I have adult grandchildren, with whom I've hiked, skied, camped, traveled, and more. And we have one great-grandchild with two on the way. Not to mention 55 years of marriage soon, God willing. Couldn't have happened if I didn't get old!

Rip Snorter Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Wait, none of those, and you missed the spare magazine, knife, wallet, checkbook and truck keys.
Finagler 6853 Life Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 I have found that as I age, picking something up off the floor/ground requires some forethought and planning.

Rip Snorter Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Whistling as it starts to get dark. Mom, who made it to 89 and is still sorely missed, often used the old adage seen here "Getting old isn't for the faint of heart."

Rip Snorter Posted May 14, 2022 Posted May 14, 2022 You forgot the second part, never waste a woo***!
Doc X Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 I was told the easiest way to tell if you're old is to fall down. If everyone laughs, you aren't old. If everyone comes running to help, you're old.
MizPete Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Mama said she didn't mind getting old, but she did mind getting slowed down.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 OK, OK, I'm at the stage of those last two, but I'm going to keep on!! So There!

I was at a shoot last year and dropped a couple loaded rounds by my cart while I was filling my loading block. I was down on my knees (bad back, can't bend that far) when another shooter walked by. He asked, "Praying Doc?" I quickly answered, "Yeah, praying I can get up!"
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 The wife told a friend to not be disturbed by my demeanor when she was around. She explained to the friend that her husband (me) is in my terrible 60s, and the friend nodded knowingly.
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted May 16, 2022 Author Posted May 16, 2022 Not so funny when the neighborhood puts up a sign for you.
