You know you're old when...

M_Six · 08-31-2023, 02:57 PM

When your grip suddenly goes on strike for no reason. Can get messy if you're carrying something. Like a tote bag with half gallon of milk in it.

You know your old when some Pink haired Pixie asks you, "Would you like the senior Discount?" The day is down hill from there.

Your mom had one of these. In the kitchen. And your best friend opened the hatch while it was washing.

Wow, you really are old.

Actually, I think @3.0L is older than you.

Yes, I think he’s 75 or 76. What are you, about 73? I’ll be 69 this January. A favorite pair of numbers of mine, and many other people.

Had one as well. Used to scare the life out of me . My siblings had be convinced me I’ll get sucked up by it if I entered the laundry.

You are… I was 1 year old then.

Boomer 2019 · 09-03-2023, 08:03 PM

I read it in 1st grade (1953) in Mrs. Gray's class. Whippersnapper!

M_Six · 09-03-2023, 09:16 PM

Mrs. Logan, for me. 1965. I'll vacate the lawn, now.

bosstones · 09-03-2023, 09:38 PM

You guys are making me feel better about one of the interns having noted that they hadn't been born yet when I first started working where I do. Thnx, BP fam.

Esteban · 09-03-2023, 09:44 PM

I don’t remember reading it so maybe my memory is failing me, or I didn’t read it.

Boomer 2019 · 09-04-2023, 09:19 AM

You folks are all welcome to indulge on the lawn at will.

As for the unworthy interlopers.. we have ways.

Everytime you bend down, your knees crack... Loudly.

Going down is easy. It's the getting back up that hurts.
