When the number of tools you own for home repairs, plumbing, carpentry, etc. start to outnumber the tools you have for tinkering with cars, trucks, motorcycles, atvs, etc.
OR. You spend 1/2 the day looking for the tools you need to do the brakes. Stumble across the caulking gun and remember you're suppose to caulk around that window in the shop. Which explains why the caulk gun is in the shop, to begin with.
No, you know your getting old when you know you have a caulk gun but you forgot where it is. You go to Homey D, buy a new one and when you get home find the other one.
In the box with the other one you bought because you couldn’t find the one you’ve had for 20 years that was in the bottom of the box with the other one.
I figured I was getting old, or at least too old for landscaping, when it hurt to pick up a beer at the end of a day.
When that girl you were gaga over in your 20s reminds you of your mother.
When you start picking airplane seats based on proximity and ease of getting to the lavatory.
When people you see don't say it but you know they're thinking "for your age" when they say how good you look.
When the movies and TV shows you love are all being re-released in anniversary editions:25th, 30th, 40th ...
When you HAVE to carry reading glasses everywhere
? When you HAVE to carry reading glasses everywhere?
I have pair in the truck, range bag, at work, basement, garage and in my right cargo pocket!!!
The waitress doesn't know who Sophie Loren is. You camping and fishing partner doesn't know who Ho Chi Minh was.
Well, I just gave away an exhaust mounted air/fuel stoich meter for carb mixtures.
Gave away my CD collection. People asked who the Butthole Surfers, Swans, Pig Face, 16 Horsepower, Tom Waits...were. I was told I listen to angry music. My response was "Hell yes, that's why I'm so mellow and happy".
Not sure I own a chauLLLk gun.
All told, I think I have 30 pairs of reading glasses. [Shake]
You know you're getting old when you realize that you hurt yourself while sleeping.
You know you're getting old when the entertainers that you've really enjoyed since your youth are dying at an incredibly high rate.
----I've watched movies that I loved back in the '80s and it's a who's who of "Well that actor is dead now, so is that one...and that one."

You know you're getting old when you own 22 hammers and 13 axes of various kinds, 19 saws, and 27 ladders and step stools. And, you're still keeping jars of slotted screws and WW2 aircraft nuts and bolts because you just might need them someday.
You know your getting old when every one of these posts describe yourself !!!![ROFL2]
If you lived in a mobile home, they would all be the same tools.
The girl at Supercuts does your ears and eyebrows without asking

When someone in the various Medical offices note that I was born in 1936, they almost always say that I sure do NOT look THAT old.
That's a heckuva compliment, Bob.
When you break down and buy the battery powered caulk gun to go with your collection of the other caulking guns that you've bought because you couldn't find the first one because it's at the bottom of the box.Quote:

When I started making the same noises my dad made when I got up from wherever I was sitting/laying, that's when I knew LOL.

I'm just getting old, but I'm not "old" yet. What I define as "old" gets pushed further back every year. [Coffee]
Reading this thread, I feel like I'm getting old. Far from getting old. Hey! I have the sense of humor as a 12 year old.
Huh huh, huh huh.[bulls]
Bumping this up just because I discovered something else that means I?m getting old.
I can remember when vegan leather was just called vinyl. Or naugahyde if you wanted to be fancy.
It's Joan Jett's 64th birthday today. Reading that made me feel old today.
