Dust?  I'm so happy it happened at all it's like my birthday, confetti and all ????

Naa, you know you're old when the girls in the bars start getting choosy and you're allowed to walk past Baccara without being dragged in.

[Daffy D]

When you're on the bus or subway and a nice old lady gets up to give you her seat  

 

That is so embarrassing 

[CygnusX1]

I’ve suddenly realised that when I’m next deciding on what model new car to buy, the likely availability of spare parts should I keep the car for a long while no longer needs to be a factor in my decision.

[Scouse123]

I used to get excited when I was buying a new car and now I start getting excited because I am having a new fridge freezer delivered.

Sooo true. Thats me.

Has to be a good thing right.

When you open the driveway gate enough to take out a motorbike but take the truck instead knocking the gate off the rail.

Or when you've been in Thailand longer than the Thai-born girls you're chatting up.

... you stop adding 'and a half' to your age. This piece of advce came from a 'Peanuts' book I was given for my 21st birthday, and I have stuck to it rigidly ever since. I am now 71, but will soon be 71 and a half.

When you have to take a Viagra,, just to stop yourself peeing on your slippers..

When you can't find a white shirt that doesn't have a food stain on the front (usually turmeric).

 

When you learn a new, useful Thai word, but 5 minutes (or less) later, it's completely forgotten.

When I went to the Expatvac site to register I couldn't type in the date. They only had the calendar widget. I had to click the mouse over 700 times to reverse down to my birthday!

 

True Story, no exaggeration.

Sadly no chance. Someone told me it all goes downhill at 70!

I guess you have reached middle age, when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places????

Yes....I've had that happen on one or two sites......scary when you click that many times....where did our lives go?

I know for sure where over ten minutes of mine went.

Nothing like counting down the months one click at a time to make you feel old.

 

Still, I feel lucky to be here instead of sitting inside a house in Denver watching the snow fall.

Shoveling sunshine off my motorbike to go to the beach 15 minutes away is tough though. Life is all about tradeoffs.

Ha...sat by the pool deciding whether to have coffee and cake or tea and toast.

 

Wife is waiting for my order....555

For sure bro'.

Wife took my order for three fried eggs with hash browns a few minutes ago and I just finished them sitting by the pool gazing at the mountain.

 

Then the Koel bird I rescued from a fallen nest and raised for two months flew over to the table for her eggs/rice breakfast with dragon fruit dessert. The rescue puppy wandered over with her bone sticking out of her mouth like a cigar stub wondering if she'll get to lick the plate. The bird takes no guff and pecks her nose if she gets out of hand.

 

It's a tough life but we're sturdy folks and can endure.

Thanks. Like I say, I feel lucky. It keeps me off the streets anyway.

 

But not out of the pineapple fields. Lady and I take the dog for  a 3 mile walk thru the fields nearly every day. The bird refuses.  She considers herself too high class to be seen with the dog.

Me? If it wasn't for low class I wouldn't have any class at all.

 

Apologies, I've drifted off topic. Old people do that you know.

Enjoy!

Apparently there is an easier way but I also did 600 odd clicks.

Can you just do odd clicks, or do you have to do even ones, too?

You know you are old when you have to ask questions like.............

 

Where to check vision for eyeglasses?

I was on a laptop and tried arrow keys and other keys but never found the easier way.

Please let us know.

[Daffy D]

Not sure if this would work, instead of clicking on the key try holding it down. Or perhaps the mouse scroll might work  ????‍♂️

[siftasam]

When you start to wax nostalgically about Watney's Red Barrel and say that modern day smokes are not a nicotine patch on Anchor, Gold Flake, Woodbines, Park Drive, Strand and Turf.

 

And most importantly of all, when you bang on about why Wagon Wheels are now so tiny? When I was a kid. they really were wagon wheels! (Well, OK, bit of poetic licence there!) And where are the Scribona jam and lemon curd tarts?

 

And when Coronavirus was what you caught drinking out of your naughty girlfriend's lemonade bottle.
