Re. Cce's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay"....


Oh, I've so been there, done that, just this week! Truthfully, I hope the remakes keep coming, it makes me look smart and cool until I fess up that it's a remake.

You know you're getting old when . . .

1) You saw Jaws . . . at the theatre

2) You have no clue what the Matrix movies were about.

 

[Nancy333]

That is so true, I tried watching the 1st Matrix movie and was lost from the very beginning.

You can no longer claim your kids on your taxes.

You know you're getting old when:

It takes more time to get down on your knees and get back up again, than you spent in prayer?

 

[TheAJKMan]

ykyow:
1)Grass was something you sat on, not smoked
2)Pot was something cooked in, not a drug.
3)you remember watching man landing on the moon, not learning it for history
4)you've been out of school longer than some young uns have been alive

You know what's weird, is that I only started noticing it once I turned 40.

Me too. My optician warned me that my normally excellent eyesight would get worse once I turned 40. And he was right, almost overnight I needed longer arms or reading glasses! Been today for increased prescription readers. Distance sight is still pretty good though.

YKYGOW...you open your mouth and you hear your mother/father talking.

Kids you used to babysit need babysitters for their kids.

The doctor looks about 14, and don't get me started on the police!

You feel invisible.

I got this one in an email from a friend in England, and I thought it was fun:

''Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated

Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:



I decide to wash my car. As I start toward the garage,



I notice that there is mail on the hall table.



I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.



I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the

trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.



So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out

the trash first.



But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I

take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.



I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only

one check left



My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk

where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.



I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the

Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.



I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put

it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.



As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on

the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.



I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading

glasses that I've been searching for all morning.



I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going

to water the flowers.



I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container

with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote.



Someone left it on the kitchen table.



I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be

looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on

the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where

it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.



I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on

the floor.



So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels

and wipe up the spill.



Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was

planning to do.



At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't

paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the

flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my

checkbook, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.



Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm

really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm

really tired.



I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some

help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Mmm hmmm . . . on a related note, I went to my daughter's high school open house a couple of weeks ago . . . when did the high school teachers get so young? When I was in high school they were like 100.

Weren't they?

Mostly yes! (Though I did have a teacher in the 9th grade that I thought was a fellow student on the first day! But that was rare back then!)

Hi all:

Stopping in because I have my 30th high school reunion in three days. Three decades. . . . . gone by. Where did it go?

 

[Alive again]

those words coming out of your mouth are exactly what your mother/father used to say

or most of your sentences start with when I was young. . .

 

[TheAJKMan]

Where did it go?

Right over there -----> *ng* *ducks and runs*

PS. Don't feel too ba, I finished school in 1982, so I'm not too far behind you
