At one time I would bail out the side of my pickup truck bed like a paratrooper to the ground. In no way do I do that now. I am now doing the toe tap thing looking for the bumper and then same toe tap looking for the ground always maintaining three touch-points to the truck! Can’t imagine the injuries I would sustain now if I tried my younger self method of just jumping from the side of the truck. Getting old is a system of asking yourself …should I do this? Most times the answer is no but my brain still has to be convinced that what I am attempting is probably not wise.


Right there with you Baw!

There could be no more perfect description.

Tearing my knew up for seemingly no reason.

Needing to take pictures of menus, food labels, and pill bottles to zoom in with my phone to be able to read directions.

My feet hurt. Like every time I get up to walk somewhere, a part of my feet hurt without fail.

When you have to fill out something online and it ask for your birthday. It takes a long time to scroll that little wheelie thing back to the mid 60's

I hate when random people park in my driveway. I get pissed when the mail is late. I peer out my window after I hear noises.
I am disgusted with what young kids do these days.

When I talk with 30 year olds that don't remember major events in my adulthood, like 9/11.

I can remember when my farts were dry and my dreams were wet.

The God awful noises your joints make when getting out of bed every morning.

Things don't heal nearly as fast as they used to and now leave horrendous scars for minor things.

stabbed my hand with a screwdriver over a month ago, and it's finally just about healed, 30 years ago it would have been healed in a week.

Slotted screws are stupid and evil!!!

Realizing I have to think about whether eating something will pull off one of my crowns.

I've started to think about the other people around me instead of always putting myself first.

Watching movies I enjoyed when was younger and now everything looks dated.

Seeing old friends and teachers and thinking “man they look old.” Of course they probably say the same thing about me.

Looking at old newspaper sport clippings when I played high school ball. Can’t believe that was so long ago.

I want to stay home more and more rather than go places.

Recently the guy the insurance company sent to determine if my roof had hail damage was the kindergarten kid that had picked me as his senior football player when I was in HS.

That was my first “I feel old moment”
