When have you noticed your age?

Apparently I have nothing to worry about yet
Get asked for ID/birth date every single time I purchase a six-pack of adult beverages

One time we were in the store and the customer in front was buying alcohol... the cashier rung the bell saying she just had to get an ID check, the guy who was clearly of age said frustratedly, I'm 55 years old FGS.... and the cashier said '' no the ID is for ME, I'm too young to sell alcohol without a supervisors permission''.... lol

I never knew that and I have been a senior for quite some time.

It was never free at the McDonaldā€™s near me. But, many offered a senior coffee $1 for any size. Now itā€™s pay the regular price. If you want a deal use our App.

I did find the McDā€™s app a bit confusing at first, but I got the hang of it. I donā€™t eat there often, but at least when I do I can get some free food. If the points havenā€™t expired.

I'm fortunate no-one has ever suggested that I might need a seniors discount for anything, in fact I often forget to ask for one.. altho' tbh on the odd occasion I have , no-one has questioned it much to my chagrin..lol.. but I'm not sure if that's because I look my age or it's because people are afraid now of being sued for offending...

The Goodwill (thrift store) will not ask anymore if you qualify for the senior discount. You have to mention it yourself. 10% on Tuesday and Wednesday. Apparently someone got offended and made a complaint.

It's usually 55 here but the one health food store who gives seniors a 10% discount daily, is 60.
 
I had people at work asking me in my early 50's if I was going to retire. I think I look old for my age. When I was younger, I looked younger. People thought I was in junior high, not high school and I could get into movies for under 12 well into my teens. But things have caught up with me.

No thrift stores (Charity shops) here give senior discounts... some pubs give a 10 % discount on mid-week meals

how old are you Remy ( you don't have to say )...

I was 25 with a 5 year old and still getting 1/2 fare on the bus , when the cut off point was 15... I've been fortunate that I've always looked young for my age .. altho' now it's beginning to catch me up

@hollydolly I'm 63. I don't mind telling my age. For one reason is my mother never told hers. And I don't want to be like her.

well 63 without being patronising.. is young as in young senior. It literally feels like last year to me when I was 63.. I've still got most of the same clothes and even 1/2 my shoes are still from back then.. I'm 68... and I know people say it all the time.. but it's absolutely true that once you get into your 60's times shoots by.:eek:

I have no idea where the last 5 years have gone.. so dear remy, if I could give you one piece of advice.. do as much as you can now.. enjoy it to the best of your ability.. because the next 5 years until you're 68 will just go by faster than a speeding bullet
 
Just recently. I have been working out and active 5 days a week for the last few years. I have maintained my weight of 165 at 5'8", so I'm not carrying extra weight. I turned 66 last October.

But now I am noticing some stiffness when getting up after sitting and chronic pain in my neck and shoulders. I still stretch and work out like I did previously but the pain afterward is more pronounced. I ordered a "seat" that has Shiatsu massaging, heat and vibration that I use when watching TV on the couch. It just arrived today and seems to have helped.
