When kids at duck or deer camp start adding a mister to your first name.

I know it’s friendly respect thing, but the first “Mr. Sus-Scrofa” stung a little.

I dreamed I was at a party and a hot young girl started coming on to me and I thought to myself, "I wonder what she sees in an old man like me."

True story.

The first time I felt old was when my youngest son told me that he was to old to go to Tigerland.

Female. 56 this coming July. I honestly don’t FEEL old physically or mentally.

I feel old when I think about my kids being 32, 27 and 24.

About 2 years ago, went from a 7.8 handicap in golf, to my drives are 200ish today (16.1). Only lost one ball this year (not lying) 49 years old. Nothing hurts, but everything is slower. Starting to look for 55+ communities. Just got AARP in the mail :(

Always remember, you are not officially old until you talk about HS Football, or the weather. Not there yet.

I was watching an Otis Gibbs video on YouTube last week with this dude from Blackberry Smoke. Fella looks old, then I realized, I'm 4 years older than he is.

We were hosting Thanksgiving at our house for one of the first few times. I spent either $370 or $730 on groceries, and when the cashier said the total, I replied "I believe that's a new high score."

At that moment, I felt myself enter middle age.

When someone close to me observed that I groan whenever I stand up or sit down.

would finish peeing, no more pee comes out, put my little dude away, then proceed to pee 5-7 more drops


My doctor gave me something for that back in November when I went in for my yearly.

Took about 6 months, but it finally took effect. It's so nice not to be dribbling down my leg again.

Didn't read the whole thread but this may be one that hasn't been mentioned yet:

If you have to stop for either a bathroom break or to stretch your back/legs when driving long distances.

Until I was about 50, I could go at least 6 or 7 hours to Houston or Shreveport/Longview from SE LA before having to stop. Last several years, my back gets stiff before I get to Lafayette and/or I usually have to piss after about 4 or 5 hours.

That's pretty solid. I'm probably at 3 hours before I have to piss.

This is hard. Double-reverse pass is my call. First female to your left has to drink two White Claws.

Knee brace will be a triple reverse.

Squatted trucks and bright headlights piss me off

Can’t stand this new haircut all these young kids have (the curly jewfro)

Paying taxes pisses me off

When I try to do certain athletic shite that used to be easy for me, it doesn’t quite feel as smooth as it used to and it hurts a little bit


I’m 37

When I started realizing and complaining about how lazy and entitled these kids are. About ten years ago.

Just turned 47. Grateful my dad busted my arse when I was a kid. It’s served me well in life.

I’m 37 and still humming along great. By the time I’m 47 they’ll figure out immortality. I’m never dying unless
