You’re up three times in the night to pee
You find yourself chatting with friends about ailments
You see doctors more often than your hair stylist.

When you get to the top of the stairs and forget what you went up for. I don't even make it up the first step before asking "What was I headed up there for?"  |

You know you are old when your kids think you can't handle getting up on a 6' ladder. Frankly, I am steadier than my DD! I'm 65, but my grandson thinks I am more like 85, I think. He's always worried about me keeping up, especially at the airport. |

When the answer to every question you ask a health care provider begins with the phrase, “As we

I was talking to someone online about the novel I wrote, which takes place in 1992, and was told it's historical...

You find yourself chatting with friends about ailments Yep! And you remember the “good old days” when people used to just say fine or great when asked how are you doing! now your friends list new diagnoses, med changes, bowel habits, etc. I miss when you would say fine and move on. But, conversion mods on to grandchildren and then sharing photos, so it’s not too bad, LOL! |

I was talking to someone online about the novel I wrote, which takes place in 1992, and was told it's historical... This is shocking!!! I would suggest that it's also incorrect. It seems more likely that the parameters would be 50 years or more, since the idea (of historical fiction) is to take the reader out of his current frame of reference/lifetime. But, as you've probably found out, the only thing people know more about that they've never done besides writing novels is raising children. Finally, congrats on achieving such a feat! |

You need a magnifying glass to see all that fine (and not so fine) print you used to see with no problems.

When you were younger you were a bit eye-rolly about people telling you how they really were, but now you actually find their ailments interesting. |

You need a magnifying glass to see all that fine (and not so fine) print you used to see with no problems. And you need brighter light too, right? Yesterday I noticed the arm of my glasses was coming off, but I couldn't see it properly... without my glasses on... |

The only birthday cards you get in the mail come from your chiropractor, your financial advisor and your insurance agent.
