    And for the switch on the floor for the high beams? I miss THAT distinctive sound.

    When every conversation with longterm work contacts quickly becomes "When can you go [retire]?" because they know you've been working for a gazillion years.

    Restaurants are always so dark. And the print on the menus is so small. I usually end up whipping out my phone to shine the light and magnify the type.

    My right knee hurts now and again. Old knee injury when I was younger lets me know to slow down now. The problem is I am only 33.

    When they talk about some famous person, singer, or actor, who got married , divorced, OD'd , or died, and I never heard of him or her, or the TV show or movie they did , or heard any of their music or know the name of their band. That's OK because I wouldn't like the music anyway

    When I go into 'young people' trendy stores and have no idea who's singing the song or what the song is playing or I think to myself that this sht music is too loud.

    If they were playing ZZ Top then the volume would be fine

    The most popular artist of today's youth seems to be a group named "autotuned"

    Before I knew it existed, I thought my dad was magically turning on the high beams.

    When you get up at a restaurant and it takes you 2 minutes to start moving and 25 steps to straighten up!

    It all started at about 35 years of age. I wondered what was wrong. Why do I feel pain? Why is it reoccurring? I panicked and thought there was something definitely wrong with me. As the years went by, I realized that this mysterious pain in various places in my body wasn't going to go away. After much money spent, and many doctor visits, I realized that all I needed to do was accept this horrible condition called getting old. You know you are getting older when you go to bed feeling great and wake up with a painful injury from sleeping. Ha! Now I just ignore the pain and accept
    it as normal. GETTING OLD IS NOT FOR SISSIES!!!!

    Do any of you get random aches or ailments and blame it on getting old?

    I woke up with a pain in my side and I'm convinced it's pancreatitis or liver failure.
    Yep, this is how I'm going out.
    Old people probs.

    What exactly are you calling "old". There's an MFP group called "The middle agers group. (Upper 30s,40s & 50ish folks)". If you're still inside that range, please don't call yourself old.

    But yes, I do get some aches and pains, and don't have the strength and endurance of a teenager or twenty-something year old anymore.

    Also, lots of illnesses these days seem no longer age-specific. Young people suffering from ailments that previously appeared to be only in the very old.
