YOU'RE OLD WHEN...

I'm only sharing this one today because, really, why should I be the only one who feels like shit?

YOU KNOW YOU'RE OLD WHEN

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6 You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald 's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good shit."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh shit, what the hell happened?"

Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass.

#24 - "drink at home to save money" Hey, even when I was younger...we always did that.

Yes, I can relate to this list. Thanks R&R for confirming I'm old. But I REFUSE to act my age.

It's just a matter of choosing the right profession. I still get 130 days of vacation. Well, not really, but that's what everybody thinks and I get more than most adults. :-)

As for some of these others -- I'm somewhere between "I was old before my time" and "I'll never grow-up."

My dh, living in the land of wine and more wine, would agreed with everyone who has left $4 bottles behind them. Me, gee, I can make a case for straight-out plonk once in awhile :)

LOL!!! @ #1. I got this spice I use on the grill that smells like my youth. I sprinkle it lavishly and breath deep.
