You know you're getting old when...
...you've joined a Tennis / Pickleball Country Club.
At the very least, it has it's own pool with slide / jacuzzis for our wild boys and its own gym facility, but it does make me feel like we're on the wrong side of the age tracks. Not letting go of my other gym membership either because the hours are just better, so add another (expensive) thing to the monthly spend list. It does give us a sense of community here though! Edit: Mods, wrong forum - should be in the Open Discussion. My apologies!

Two tone watches.
When you start wanting one, you've crossed the old threshold. |

This thread made my laugh pretty hard. My daily is the two toned chnr. I just joined a club two weeks ago and am learning pickle ball. Was playing doubles against two teenaged guys this week and one of the little b@stards called me sir in the middle of the game. I played the rest of that game like it was the Super Bowl. My partner was my girlfriend and she could see I was not happy. On the way home in the car I got “but honey…. you are their fathers’ age.” I must have looked pretty ridiculous diving to the ground for shots at 48 years old.

Now, let me tell you a slap in the face, me and my wife went to a local fast food place last week and the kid at the register asked if I got a senior discount, ....I actually laughed out loud. My wife missed it and asked when we sat down what was so funny, she then busted out laughing as well. |

We belong to a tennis/platform tennis/pickleball/swim club. It's great fun, even though I haven't really played pickle and am no longer here in the winter for paddle (platform tennis). Athletic friends are some of my best friends! And your boys will love the pool, and perhaps pick up a racket sport.
Good decision (IMO)!

All too late, you consider moisturising your face in an upward motion, a vain attempt to defy time. Slap the jowls, mutter “I’m crêpe-ing.”

If the pickleball doesn't work out, you can always try walking around inside the mall before it opens.

You have a 7 day container for your pills.

You are past that period of time in your early '60s when you were just 'invisible' and young people actually see you again and start treating you like "grandpa" - "Can I get you a chair, Sir?" / "Hang on, I'll put that in the car for you".
I was a bit ambivalent about it the first time it happened and then I decided I rather liked it. (Dan's "Yelling retirees" struck a chord.) (Colorado Kid made me laugh - I relate to that too.)

It first hit me when I was 40 something and we were playing hockey against a team, and we were sitting in our dressing room getting ready and we could hear them in the next room say, "who we playing against?"
And someone else in that room, said " I don't know, a bunch of old f@uckers." Words can hurt.

When you are no longer a Miss; you are called Ma’am.
When the sound of your joints reach the other room before you do. When you are no longer “carded” but establishments say they ask for everyone’s ID to sell liquor, cigarettes & lottery tickets. |

I could not find my Carhartt belt this morning. I had already put my clothes in the bathroom for after my shower, so I spent 15 minutes searching the house for the belt. Who would steal a guy’s belt? One of my wife’s friends?
Then I found it in the bathroom where I had put it, stacked with the rest of my clothes for the day. |

You know you're getting old when...You have notes in the rooms of your home that have a list of “Possible reasons I came into this room.”
