You know you're getting old when...

[bradly1101]

...you turn on the 'puter for the first time in a while and by the time you get through all the updates you forget why you turned the frickin' thing on in the first place so you bitch about it in a forum.

That's how I know how old I am, what metric do you use? Birthdays? Bah!

That sounds more like a Windows problem than a getting old problem. Windows updates take bloody ages. I don't get why they take so long, it makes no sense.

As for how old I'm getting, it's when I look back at something that seems so close and realize it's been so long ago. Like I was going through old pictures and they are dated and it's like "wait, that was in 2002?!?!".

That, and the realization that my oldest nephew is going to be heading to college in a few years. It's like waaa? I remember holding him as a baby. It does not feel like it's that long ago.

Your knees throb. Also, you look at an easy pull up on a structure, put your hands up, then sigh, and go look for a ladder. People who say getting old is great are delusional. I guess you gotta do what's necessary to get by, but if I could be 22 forever, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

When you get a good nights sleep but would rather nap for three hours before work instead of playing video games.

Dogs are much faster than any human.

When you sit to take a dump and the nut sack hits the cold water.

When you try to open your front door with the car remote and cant figure out why it is still locked.

My metric is that I get madder and madder about kids being on my lawn, but my failing eyesight makes it harder and harder to aim effectively to keep them off.

Usually a trip to the barber for me. Look down and the pile of hair is more gray than dark. Gets a lot more gray every year.
