DadJoke007: This old clip from early The Simpsons is very relevant to this thread. Anyone else who can relate to Homer? I'm basically like that when discussing anything new regarding movies, games and music.

What makes the clip even better is that the new bands mentioned there would go into the (digital) oldies box today as well,
lol, yes very apropos.

Or when you see one of these puttering down I-5 with an "antique" license plate.

Hooyaah: ...when you need to pick up a few things at the store you don't worry about what you wear or how you look.
I used to worry about this not because I was young but because of rampant OCD.....I eventually tried to overcome it and now I just do basic maintenance(clothes/bathing/etc) and don't care if others dislike my appearance otherwise.

...when taking a nap on a Sunday afternoon sounds like a good way to relax.

When you bend down to tie your shoes, and wonder what else you can do while you're down there.

.....when I look in the mirror :( lol

You're more excited about the prospect of sitting at home and experimenting with a new piece of software than going on a date and potentially get laid.

Nice one, though since I've picked up strength training 6 years ago, I think I could still do that one.

However, my waistline would definitely suffer in a way it wouldn't have in my 20s.

I didn't know this either. I'm 32. I must be old now.
Ah, you spring chicken, I'm 38. However, I've mostly aged like wine so far. Still waiting to really feel the burden of age in a way I simply can't compensate for. I'm sure it will come in time. Counting my blessings until then.

mystikmind2000: Huh, forget that, i say your young if you can still remember what not feeling tired (at all) is like???

GameRager: More like middle age, which is nearly as bad(or good) as being older than that.

And don't talk about memory(I am joking, talk if you want)......I have bad memory as is due to brain issues(short term), and getting old will only likely make it worse. :|
I have a terrible memory, not because of brain damage though, i got no excuse, no excuse at all except for the plain and simple fact of me being a f--ing moron!.... Its actually quite interesting to find out what stupid thing i will do next? It keeps me amused :)

Probably my favorite being a moron story is this one... years ago remember when cars had 'real' keys? Ahhh, well my favorite trick was to repeatedly lock my keys in the car and never f--ing learn my lesson. So i decided to put a spare key in my wallet.... because i usually have my wallet in my back pocket when i lock my keys in the car.

Come a few week later and i have locked my keys in the car again... i then proceed to spend 2 hours trying to break in with a piece of wire, i finally got the door open, got in and sat down, then felt my wallet in my back pocket, then remembered i had the spare key in there the whole time!

How do i even manage to dress myself in the morning? so F--ing dumb.

...when people ask you about how many children do you have.


...when they seem surprised to hear that you haven't had any children or a spouse.

I misread the car name as 1980 Chewy Citation. Lol @ Citation, titillating name. I am dumbfounded at that car driving without rear tires while towing boat trailer. Wth, that seems rather unsafe.

You know you're getting older when your knuckles ache after playing classic shooters.

You can't remember what you did for your birthday last year and forgot anniversary dates.

Well at least you look on the bright side. :)
