You know you are over 65 when...

[davedajobauk]

When Business Contacts, attempt to take advantage of you [?]
believing you may be LESS THAN ADEQUATELY >> 'intellectually-equipped'

 

[rebornfree]

When you can catch a daytime programme on TV (which seem much nicer than the evening ones these days) because you don't have to go to work anymore.

 

[Susie~Q]

When the word "swing" meant either dancing or playing on a piece of playground equipment.

 

[jannikitty]

When you wanted to see a football game you went to a football stadium or heard it on the radio because it wasn't telecast or there simply wasn't TV yet.

When you can remember that rudeness was not regarded as self-expression and parents were thankful when teachers (reasonably) disciplined their children.

Mr D.E. Radford. First Year Primary School teacher
I have a photo that includes him, somewhere

I'm sorry about that Dave. I don't agree with harsh or unreasonable discipline, but I think we may have gone to the other extreme in some cases. Maybe I brought a too serious note to the thread, so I'll lighten it with:

When TV programmes didn't start until the evening (except for "Watch with mother")!

 

[davedajobauk]

Your 66th birthday has also passed you by

 

[rebornfree]

You can't remember what you've just said.

 

[davedajobauk]

Suddenly, you realize
that you missed that hospital appointment [three weeks ago]

The reason you know now, is because they have sent yet another appointment

 

[davedajobauk]

You can't remember what you've just said.

Now, where was I ?

 

[rebornfree]

LOL!

When you have clothes older than some young adults.

 

[jannikitty]

Mr. Rogers and the neighborhood was a new TV show for children and your little ones watched it every day.

 

[pilgrimgal]

You remember when "Ben Hur" was a new movie and Charleton Heston was a big star!

 

[jannikitty]

Folk was the most popular music and Judy Collins was top of the list of folk singers.

 

[Norah63]

When you switch from the fast dances to a nice two step.

 

[rebornfree]

People don't judge you by appearance so much.

 

[If Not For Grace]

You select your food based on what you can still chew.

 

[Norah63]

When you prefer planting in raised beds for a no-bend garden.

 

[jannikitty]

You no longer consider yourself a night owl!
