   When your kids graduate college and never call you, or
   you remember something and realize it happened almost a half a century ago---ouch or
   You no longer understand what the young people are talking about because things aren't cool, or bad anymore, but sick, or rad....

   When you wake up in the morning-and you no longer have the ability to "HOP" out of bed. It takes you a few moments to see things clearly-a few more to swing your feet around to the side of the bed-and then you are required to take a deep breath in and hold it to lift yourself to your feet...

   I knew I was getting old when I was talking to my fiance's daughter about getting our temperatures taken anally and she hadn't a clue that that was ever an option.  And not having children of my own, I didn't know it wasn't an option now.

    Three old men were talking about the best thing that could happen to them at that time of life.
    
    The 80 year old said :
    "The best thing that could happen to me is to be able to have a good pee. I just stand there and it dribbles and hurts, and I have to go over and over again."
    
    The 85 year old said:
    "The best thing could happen to me is if I could have a good bowel movement. I take every kind of laxative I can get my hands on and it is still a problem."
    
    The 90 year old man said:
    "That's not my problem, every morning at 6:00 AM sharp I have a good long pee and at 6:30 sharp I have a great bowel movement. The best thing that could happen to me is if I could wake up before 7:00."

    OMG so many of these are so true.  I go to the pantry in the kitchen (just 6 feet from the stove) and forget why I went there!!  I can remember 30 years ago with vivid accuracy and not yesterday.  My hair has gotten thinner and takes longer to grow on my legs.  I have to go to the bathroom much more frequently and quicker than I used to when I would brag I was like a camel and could hold water for hours.  I tell my kids that their music is just noise, the same thing my grandmother said about my classic rock before it became classic.  Oh there are so many lovely signs to remind us that we are getting old.  Fortunately, I do not yet have wrinkles and people think I am in my late 30's.  I am going to keep all of the above secrets so I don't blow my cover.

    for me it is not being able to tolerate the cold weather like I did when I was young.
    
    Now I put on 2 or 3 layers, but I remember being a kid and running outside in the snow with a t-shirt on and hardly recognizing the cold.
    
    Now I get chilled when it is 65 degrees and sunny.
