Signs You Know You Are Getting Old.

I have a tendency to lose my reading glasses and they are on top of my head. I used to make fun of my Mom for the same thing!

I miss the way things were: music, etc

I tend to get up the couch a little more gingerly.

I have relaxed and realize there is no reason to stress. Life really does work out the way it is intended.

Difficult to lose weight. I used to lose weight fast. Now it’s more of an arduous process.

You stole my initial thread, wtf?

OP is indeed old.

For the person looking for senior breaks on bills and things— look into whether your city or state has a Commission on Aging or Department of Aging, and ask them if they can help or point you to who can.

My grand aunt gets help with her utility bills from them sometimes, and they paid for her new recliner.

Moobs like the old guy on the beach in "Jaws".

Oh, and I can’t believe the OP of this second thread stole the original post verbatim! That’s not how it’s done; “OP”.

Sure seems to be a lot of newcomers who don’t understand anything about DL lately.

Arnicare was mentioned in the last thread as a great balm for healing bruises but I also want to mention Aquaphor which is even better with healing cuts and tears on the skin and also for those aging bursts of red sunspots (there are some that are not permanent). Little did I think in my 70s my face would have more zits than when I was a teenager.

I had this shocking realization today, that whatever hair products (shampoo, conditioner, styling 'mud') that I currentlyhave, will be the last I'll ever need to buy.

Also, my ear and nose hair trimmer gets a vigorous workout.

You know you’re getting old when your primary source of exercise is moving from one space to another in your home, only to realize that you left your phone/eyeglasses/keys where you started. In my case, it’s climbing the steps to our bedroom, only to return downstairs to the kitchen or living room to retrieve the forgotten item. Sometimes, you have to do it twice in a row. This happens several times a day!

When all of your liberal friends go extreme far left batshit crazy and you’re left all alone at left of center where you’ve always been, wondering what the hell happened.

Asshole OP couldn't even have the manners to put a "Part 2".

Here is the first thread for anyone interested.

R13 I feel the exact same way.

R15 - 17 Another sign of getting old....repeating oneself.

by Anonymousreply 18October 5, 2023 10:52 AM

Okay, ladies.

This thread exists to add to the original thread as a link as an example of how people get forgetful and repeat themselves in a sign they're getting older.

It was a joke.

Obviously you people ARE getting older as you shout at this OP to get off your idiot lawns. Don't be ashamed. Early dementia is like tht.

.....You're watching "The Golden Bachelor" (ABC, Thursdays) and thinking that it's about time the show featured a 71-year-old lead with Medicare-aged women!

Forgetfulness. I can’t stand it.

Last week I slept wrong and I’ve been dealing with the effects of a herniated disc in my neck since.

And for bruises, I swear by Dermal K cream to clear my bruises more quickly.

I can no longer jump up from my couch. I have to slowly navigate the process from sitting to standing and I still feel stiff and sore. I also hate that my eyesight keeps getting worse and I can never find my glasses (even when they're on my head).

by Anonymousreply 26October 11, 2023 11:52 AM

I’m officially old. Over the next few days I’ll be traveling and staying in several hotels—therefore I made sure to pack my ergonomic pillow instead of settling for whatever is in the hotel.

The day I said "¡No mas!" to high heels.

The day my urine was faster than I was.
