You know when you are getting old when........!

[Wak]

You know you're getting old when:

You sink your teeth in a steak and they stay there.
You get your hearing aid mixed up with the suppository.
A fortune teller offers to read your face.
Every other statement begins with " In my day ".
You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
You finally get your head together and your body starts to fall apart.
When you and your teeth don't sleep together.
When happy hour is a nap.
When dancing is something you do on your way to the bathroom 10 times a day.
You need glasses to find your glasses.
You can live without sex but not without glasses.
When your body is no longer capable of doing the things your mind is still certain it can.
When you bend over to tie your shoe, you look around to see what else you can do since you're already down there.

When you look at those catalogues that come in the newspapers, advertising slipper boots and bunion easing shoes and think "ooo that looks nice"

[RATTER15]

Haven't we just done all these just a couple of days ago?

[China Doll]

Have you seen that advert for a blanket that you can wear? (I saw them when I was in Oz and don't know if it's being advertised here too)... Anyway, I realised I was getting old when I was thinking that looked a good idea...

[ummmm]

Yeah...I've seen them China. I can see the appeal. They also make family ones....not so appealing.

[China Doll]

Blanket sharing?! Pah... THey can get their own!

I'm perminantly cold so I think they're a cracking idea. However, the man hostage still has 'issues' with the fact taht I like those little sock slipper things with the grips so I think I'd be dumped if I got a matching blanket... Apparently my slippers are not considered 'sexy'.... How rude!

[B00]

Those slipper socks are cute CD.

Now me on the other hand wears proper granny slippers, as i like ones with a decent sole, so i can pop outside to peg washing out, empty bins etc, without putting shoes on.

[ummmm]

I love them too....Luckily Ginger is the most unsexy person you'd ever meet so he never judges :-)

[snags]

Ahem... it's your flesh coloured half calf nylon pop sox that I have issues with actually <shudder>

[China Doll]

I have a yellow, white and pink pair and they all have a little bow on, what's not to like?!

We went to see a couple of mates of mine for dinner who like me are always cold so we have a rountine of fleecing up and putting slippers on. Man hostage was astonished to find they'd provided him with his own pair of slippers to borrow for the night... Was very funny!

[China Doll]

Lol! Oh yeah, forgot about those... But you can't wear heels with socks and it's too hot for tights babe, we've discussed this.... ;oP

[mrs_nordling]

You bend down to tie your shoelaces and wonder if there's anything else you can do whilst your down there!

[zzxxee]

you look down at your feet when going down the stairs in case you fall

[craft1948]

Went to the doctors once and when he asked me to take off my trousers he collapsed in hysterical laughter at the sight of my pop socks :-(

[China Doll]

People are cruel craft, you have my sympathies...

[mrs.chappie]

You continually look at policemen and wonder why they let 'em into the Force so young.

[China Doll]

You meet the new junior doctors and wonder if they should be walking around without a grown up.

[Lore]

It hurts when you fall over! I don't remember it hurting so much - back in my day! :p

[China Doll]

True... But back in your day there was a wooly mamorth to break the fall Lore... ;oP

<Legs it>

[Lore]

<<grabs the hairs on China's chin....

actually, that's very true. :o/

[China Doll]

What, the hairs on my chin? Aye I know.... ;0)
