Does anyone remember base 6?

I never understood that crap - or the need for it.

Yes, my teen was also flabbergasted the first time I told her about cigarette vending machines.  It hasn't been THAT long since they were around.  I told her they were always in the entry of places like Dennys or other coffee shops (back when the term "coffee shop" didn't mean Starbucks).

Uh oh, you mean they're not around anymore??  I'm not only old, I don't get out much either!

That doen't always mean that you're getting old.  My mother and her whole family use that saying.  (yes, they also refer to Pole-cats, and if things don't turn out the way that they want them to the first time, they just do them twiceT.. {not sure how to spell that... but you know, they add the T after once and twice.... Good God does that bother me!})

Status: offline 		You know you're getting old when you have 2 HOT GUYS hitting on you (past the legal age) & you realize only Cher would take them up on their offers.

You know you're getting old when you wake up to find a mirror under your nose held by your um to see if you're breathing..

**Sorry, I'm too old to think of anymore so I went online & found some....see below**
******************************************************************
1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.

2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.

3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.

4. Your back goes out but you stay home.

5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.

6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

8. When happy hour is a nap.

9. When you're on vacation and your ENERGY runs out before your money does.

10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to You, and you always hated it.

11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.

12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there.

13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.

14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.

16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.

17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.

18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.

19. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.

20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.

21. It takes twice as long - to look half as good.

22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.

23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.

24. You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.

25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.

26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore.

27. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

My favorite at HJ was the hot dog.  They sliced the bun vertically instead of horizontally.
