You know your getting older when.......

smitdavi · 02-12-2009, 07:38 PM

you buy a vacuum and your excited about it.

Thought this thread would be fun. When ever you do something that makes you realize your getting older post it here. Also the older inmates, please post the warning sings that you realized when you were in your 20's

When my daughter's former pre teen babysitter now has her own child and is a teacher in my younger daughter's school.

Time flies....

You know your getting older when your shoulders hurt and shopping for vacuums excite you..

But you already knew that...

....you try to explain to a 20 something co-worker that the letters on the telephone were there because telephone numbers used to have letters in them......not for text messaging.

GTsetGO · 02-12-2009, 08:02 PM

you are correct about the vacuum.

sad thing is is that my wife wanted one for xmas two years ago. and yes, she got one.

02-12-2009, 08:02 PM

...Sooo... What are you doing with your old vacuum?

02-12-2009, 08:04 PM

When I don't ride the motorcycle I drive the Odyssey and I'm not embarrassed. I even get all excited when I push the keyless entry on the remote and the doors slide open like I can control the force.
