    You know you are old when a 40ish something person gets up, and offer you their seat on the bus....
    You know you are old, when you put the duster on a floor squeezer to dust the bottom shelves, because you can not get down there.

    Happy Birthday, Enjoy your day ! The alternative to getting older , is getting dead. Always good to remember that.. :wine

    Happy Birthday, Kayla!

    You know you're getting old when your high school students start saying "My mom/dad had you for a teacher when they were in high school" lol!

    Happy birthday to Kayla and Karen! :)

    You know you're getting older when your hairdresser gently suggests that you need more than just highlights or lowlights... "maybe it's time for all over color?" :giggle

    Happy Birthday Kayla & Karen! mere children... :giggle

    You know you're getting old when you need your first set of reading glasses. That was mine 35 years ago and I was afraid I had a brain tumor (my silly default conclusion to most health issues..). I couldn't read a fax with my contacts in nor with them off. Uh oh... All of my friends were and are younger so I get to be the point woman on all the aging stuff. :hissy

    yep, why do those grey hairs have to cause us so much grief! My hubby has tons of grey but no one expects him to color his but I have to color the few I have... not fair!

    I needed this giggle tonight!

    Here's mine . . . you know you're old when your "dress up" "church clothes" "out of the house clothes" all feel like pajamas. It's gotten so bad that I feel before I even check to see if it's my size or style. LOL

    Yeah, we cheat with our 12yo: we check out her recently played list on Spotify. I mean, we check it because even though he has the explicit filter on her account, we still want to be careful...but it's also a way to see what's cool*.

    * "cool" according to someone who thinks her generation discovered Vans and refuses to believe DH and I wore them, but I digress. :giggle

    Happy Birthday Kayla @keepscrappin and Karen @KarenC !!

    ... when everything hurts all day long, everyday :) (I have been feeling my age these days LOL)

    Another is:
    ... when I cannot stay up past 9pm... my eyes are closing around 8:30 lol
    (When I went to my 40th reunion in August and was up and partying until 3:30 am, when I flew back home 2 days later, it took me a week to recuperate from my 7 day trip back "home" to where I grew up)... yup that is old.. LOL
