You know you are getting old(er) when ...

[catofhope]

Finish the sentence "You know you are getting old(er) when..."

For those with children I am guessing the existence of your lovely grandchildren might remind you.

But let's go ahead and be serious or have some fun with this.

For me I know I am getting older when I admit I need bifocals.
Okay I think I will actually decide on two separate pairs of glasses instead.
I am near sighted so glasses for reading/computer are not so necessary.
But seeing things in a distance is insane - I do a lot of guessing as to what stuff is.
I can not read the questions on Jeopardy or letters on Wheel of Fortune without my glasses.
Therefore I am very leery to drive without my glasses except to short (well known) locations.
