When you eat dinner at a restaurant at 5:00 and look forward to getting home and not going out again.

When you start saying everything in your childhood decade was the best and way better than today, then you've already crossed.

Readers.
When you write a will.
When interns at work aren't old enough to drink.
When former interns that got hired are young enough to be your kids.
When death hits you all at once, being close family.
When you stop caring about what other people think about you.
When you realize that stretching and sleep are really beneficial.
When all of the dramatic BS that seemed so important years ago no longer matters.
When you can be happy.

I don't think I'm "old" but I'm starting to not give a damn about much of anything like an old man

My dad once told me I knew I was old the day I started looking at the mother's instead of the daughters. Not sure when that change occurred as it was gradual but damn of he wasn't right.

When you realize none of your younger colleagues have ever heard of John Candy, let alone seen any of his movies.

Same here. And leaving lights on. Or turning off a ceiling fan I've intentionally left on.

It's actually just the opposite......it's when the of age daughters stop looking at you and it's mthe MILFS that start looking at you instead

Yeah! I still remember the first time a Kid, maybe 10 years old, called me Sir.
I was probably 22 years old, Sailer, in Charleston, S. C. at a Citadel football game.

I’ve always said the answer to this is you’re at a concert, a mosh pit forms, and you decide not to go in. At that point, you’re old.

Just tell your sons to obtain from sex unless with certain high level chicks that are part of certain families so if a mistake does happen, so be it.

If your sons start banging down that’s big trouble. I’ve seen this so so so many times in my life already. Fatherless chicks that love attention and throwing that snapper around.

I’ll be 55 in July. Live in south Shreveport and hit one of the gas stations on the north side of Alec by the Cracker Barrel and Billy’s in Krotz Springs on the way down to BR. Sometimes it desperation mode the last 5-10 minutes before my pit stop. I can see wearing Depends in my not so distant future…lol.

My youngest told me yesterday while we were playing catch. “Don’t throw to hard so we can throw longer”. 1) my boy still wants to throw 2) the pain is worth it …
