.....you are going to a concert this evening at 8pm and you're planning on taking a nap after work so you can stay awake for the whole concert.

Not a Joke. Leaving work at 2. Taking a nap. Going to see Greta Van Fleet at 8.

    You have to leave the show by midnight because 1) you can barely keep your eyes open and 2) you know you'll be up at 7 regardless of what time you go to bed :)

    I started to feel 'old' when professional athletes younger than me started to retire and those around my age are called 'old' (I'm looking at you Tom Brady!)

    You know you're getting old when dinner conversations revolve around body functions (or lack of), what new meds the doctor has put you on, and what Medicare plan you're going to sign up for in December.

    When your music is played on the oldies radio station.

    When you realize that you are in the group called "senior citizens" and you get a discount on seniors citizen's day in the store.







    Heck, there must have been days when I was in my 40s where I looked old, as I would get the Sr discount back then...

    I do have t-shirts older than my kid. I still wear them.

    You know you're getting old when your favorite music stations on the radio start with the words "classic".

    You know you're getting old when you know you won't be able to "take pics and post them please". Have yet to take a selfie.

    You hear about a movie that you love and realize it was released 20 or 30 years ago.
    8.30pm is too late to start watching a movie (I know a bunch of people older than me that stay up until midnight though).
    Things you used to love have lost all their appeal (rollercoasters)
    Your kids have no idea what most of the electronics you grew up with are
    You're talking to adult friends that tell you that they read books that 'just came out' in middle school and high school
    You're still listening to the same music you were listening 20 years ago and it still feels like it just came out

    When you have to take miralax on a regular basis to stay regular.

    When you keep over the counter pain relievers on your nightstand.

    you hear people 20 years younger talk about how THEY are feeling old.

    I'm 64. 320 days from retirement. Love to hear the youngsters complain.

    I have a complaint. In 320 days this place won’t have your wit anymore.

    When you have a whole host of medical specialists for the different things that are wrong with you and you are on a first name basis with their nurse or PA.
