You know you're getting old when...

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I bet you'll find lots of money! And one piece of chewing gum.

I doubt it, the diamond tweezers that I have not been able to find for 20 years might be nice!

Along the same lines, when you don't need a cell phone just to go out somewhere.

When you can remember who Ma Bell was and when they owned the phone equipment and you just rented it.

When you know what a Dazey Seal-A-Meal was originally used for, and when you use it as a verb like "xerox"...ie, "Did you seal-a-meal the pork chops?"

My wife says that I sound old when I call her "purse" a "pocketbook". I wasn't aware that they had changed the name over at some point in time. She also corrects me when I call her "salon" a "beauty parlor".

I used to work in retail as a Safety Consultant. I was talking to a Store Manager and I said something about the purse department. He told they were called handbags. Then he asked me if I knew the difference between a purse and a handbag, to which I replied, “No”. He sad the difference was about a 30%-40% markup.

I used to call my Mom’s beauty salon, where she had weekly appointments until she passed away 3 months shy of her 95th birthday “The Curl Up and Dye Shop”.

You know you’re getting old when you injure yourself sleeping….like, “I don’t remember hurting my hip, why does my hip hurt?”

Constantly put my back out from a sneeze.

One of the favorite cartoons of my youth

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s UNDERDOG!

 

[Bob Bailey]

"There's no need to fear. Under Dog is here!", came to mind as soon as I saw the pic.

When you remember non stop flights, coast to coast and the stewardess brought a meal with metal flatware, and the headphones for the movie were plastic tubes to channel the sound from a speaker in the armrest.

Edit. In coach...

Constantly put my back out from a sneeze.

Not laughing at you, I have that happen all of the time. I have a certain way to turn when getting ready to sneeze that keeps the motion off of the discs.

Oh I get it. IDK what it is with my sinuses. I'll be just sitting there minding my own business and WHAM a huge violent sneeze hits outta nowhere followed by the requisite "OUCH my back"

Prior to my neck disc surgery, (which mysteriously fixed my lower back discs ), when standing I would have to raise my knee and leg up when sneezing or coughing, to take the pressure off of the lower discs. I'm glad that's over with, I was getting really tired of the Captain Morgan jokes.

You bet, worked for Ma Bell for 36 years.

Welcome to my world, what's funny every time I sneeze our black lab will sneeze almost immediately after I do, doesn't seem to bother her back though.
