When did you notice you're old?

[fuzzybuddy]

I noticed this old guy looking back in the mirror this morning. I'm 77, so I'm used to seeing me. But this morning, it was different. There was an old guy looking back at me. I know this sounds dumb, but I just noticed that I'm old. It hit home. It's not feeling 'young at heart', it's knowing you're old in your bones. You ARE your age. It may not be pleasant, but it is reality. When did you notice you're old?

I'm old???

 

[BC Flash]

I use to see an old woman in the shop window reflection and was shocked that it is me!

 

[squatting dog]

I'll let you know when it happens.

 

[hollydolly]

there's no more truth in the world than that. It's like some horrible joke that's played on Humanity

 

[CallMeKate]

I'll let you know when it happens.

This would be my answer, too... I'm 65 and hopefully a long way from the glue factory!

I had not really had it sink in until my children started getting older ... I could not understand how they could be a certain age .... i am only ..... darn i am older then i thought ....

 

[MarkD]

Sometimes I feel older, sometimes I look older but I can still channel immature if I try.

When what was supposed to move...didn't, and what was supposed to not move...did.

 

[hearlady]

It took me a long time to notice.
I think one of my daughters broke the news to me.

 

[Myrtle]

I'm reality based so it's been awhile. Earlier this week when we were discussing my aging I informed both my daughters that they aren't spring chickens anymore. They just looked at me. Neither said a word.

The unfair part about becoming a senior is just how f/n feeble some of us become so early in life.
But then I just saw a young former great Offensive line Football player for the Hawkeyes died at 23
in his home soon & to be married and say how lucky are we to be alive every day that the pain isn't
so bad we wish we were dead! If ya get up amble about have a couple cups of coffee, morning brunch
bop out to your interesting sights, do your needful things, maybe hire some done. Well, thas lucky!
Sure, feel for those who pass before us and wish for more good luck? .....

I know I’m old but I don’t feel old. Well….my joints do at times but mentally I still feel child like. Im truly not ready to start playing bingo or anything. Not that there’s anything wrong with bingo …

Early 2012 for me. Beyond that, not much in the way of memories or good times. Just slogging it out.

Looking in the Mirror only see me. For better or worse. Never think about being old. I just am. 79 here. Tipping into 80 come August.

When I had my 3rd ischemic stroke.

I have to remind all you folks that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are both over 80.. and none of us think of them as being old... Mick Jagger is 80 years old in one weeks' time .. and still strutting his stuff in concert as he did in the 60's.. we don't think of him as being old...

...so get your groove on you guys in your 80's....age is but a number (unless you have a serious health condition)

As long as the bowels move, its all good....

 

[Born_To_Lose]

I haven’t noticed it yet, but I used to work 16 hour days with very little effort. Today, I’m tired after a 12 hour day.

I'm old???

If you say so, but aren't all the good wines?

This would be my answer, too... I'm 65 and hopefully a long way from the glue factory!

Hmm, a pretty young chick not long out of the egg.

"Oh yeh, the rumbling, the gurgling, the strange whistling from behind me, and the smile of contentment, I know what you mean Young Aunt."

 

[papa tiger]

Sure, young chicks want to do me all of the time.
May I always have the energy to satisfy them.
Their desires are unquenchable!
May I always be able to offer satisfaction!
The other day the blonde hottie asked to borrow my Cell?

 

[Jamala]

Old?? that's a word not in my vocabulary unless
it relates to a book or an historical site!

 

[papa tiger]

Sure, we ordered a Pizza HD its date night here!
