Default How do you know you are getting old?

I laugh in surprise when signs of aging show up unexpectedly. Maybe you have some of your own loopy signs to share....

--I'm on the interstate and slam the brakes when I see a trooper, glancing at the speedometer and realize I'm doing 67.

--I buy a front closure bra to make fastening simple, then I can't figure out how it works.

I buy dog food online so I won't have to lug 30-lb bags to the car, then into the house.

When I buy beer, I ask if they want to see my ID and they just look at me and smile and say "that's OK".

"Young people" speak to you with respect instead of talking to you like a real person.

Young people call me Mister.

When bending over, it takes a while to back up, and straight.

It takes a while to drop on your knees, to the floor!!!
