SIGNS OF GETTING OLD based on personal experience:

- Chillin' at a lounge or dinner party is more appealing than going clubbing.

- When you do go clubbing, you feel like a fish out of water.

- It takes 2 days to recuperate from a RARE night of drunkenness.

- Going out on a weekday is absolutely taboo, while going out three days in a row is impossible.

- Hanging out at Barnes and Noble is totally awesome.

- Your social calendar is replaced with weddings, kid birthdays, and family events.

- You clean out your closet and throw away midriffs, short shorts, and anything too tight.

- Granny panties become the most comfortable clothing in the world.

- Afternoon naps become a requirement.

- The only way to keep up with what's cool these days is through your little sister, little brother, AND little nephew.

- Your high school music becomes labeled as old school slow jams.

- Rap starts sounding like noise and STAR 98.7 becomes one of the your top 3 radio stations.

- You start calling teenagers and college types "These kids..."

- Boys 25 years and below look cute, but only as boy toys.

- You ignore bad boys and suddenly get attracted to the "nice" ones.

- You get hit on by married men with babies. SHAME on YOU!

- You browse through wedding magazines instead of fashion mags.

- You become aware that muffin top is not just for breakfast.

- Eye creams, healthy eats, and exercise become A MUST, not a choice.

- You realize "Dammit! My mother IS right!"

- You recognize that quarterly life crisis does exist! SUCKS.

I relate to most of that, though I still go to parties with "kids" at them anyway.

coolcat said:

Well, I would have said I've always been like that, too, except I don't recall ever having to recouperate from a night of drunkeness when I was 11...lol

Byron said:

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I posted that... Think I might be getting senile!

nurse said:

I'm glad.

babynoz said:

Me too, just recently. Not surprising though, since I've had awful eyesight since I was little. I've worn glasses for distance since I was like 8 or 9 years old.

psychodelicide said:

I wear bifocals- since my 20s!

chocolate1 said:

Really?? That sux!!!!

psychodelicide said:

Ya get used to them- tend to fall downstairs the 1st time ya wear them, tho!
U miss the bottom step...
I got the 'blended' ones so the "aging factor" looks less profound.

psychodelicide said:

Wow, that's a long time. I'm still getting used to it. I stepped on the first pair by accident so now I have four pair that I keep in different places just in case. I feel like my grandmother!

Damn, I've been "getting old" for a mighty long time!! Been lounging vs. clubbing since 22 or so...



I'm late on the healthy eats & exercise, but thank GOD I've been on the eye cream for quite a while
