No issue with that but let’s not get started on turning gray.

You know you're old not when you're turn gray but when you are totally gray. For me, I have a whole head of hair but there's nothing left to turn. It's 100% gray. My wife tells me it looks good. I'm choosing to believe her instead of worrying about it.

You could coin it differently: from turning "salt and pepper" to "silver".

I have a full head of hair but I secretly want to be bald. Why?

Here's why.

Many years ago I was having lunch with some colleagues, one of whom was a beautiful woman. During lunch, a bald guy walks by our table. This beautiful colleague turns to me and whispers, "I'd love to rub the top of his head".

I give myself a backache bending over and putting clothes and things away in dressers and a chest of drawers. It's that way of bending over when you're not bending all the way but just enough to give you a backache at that half way point.

Ouch! Old back complaining. lol

Dropped a sock on the floor. Bent over to pick it up and hit my head on the washing machine. Then I reached into the washing machine to grab some stuff to toss in the dryer and I slammed my knuckle on the center drum of the machine. Just general klutziness, I guess.

Lol, I'm not laughing at you, it's just funny the way you describe it. That sounds like something you'd see on America's funniest home videos

I think we all have those klutzy moments. I know I do and I end up laughing at myself for being such a klutz.

Yeah, it seems to happen to me a lot. I can hurt myself doing the simplest of things.

Man, that must be the rum talking

For myself: Bald since mid30s and problem is and was, that my head looks much more older than my soul feels. Thats an internal problem. But for public Im just looking old, and thats the real tragic for me.

You you're old when...

... the larger-than-life folks are crumbling all around us. Raquel Welch passes away. Bruce Willis is diagnosed with dementia. Baseball Hall of Famer, Tim McCarver, passes...

Very depressing.

When switching over brake rotors takes more than an hour per side. And you're sore for a week afterwards.

I remember walking down the street in L.A. when I was 13 and passed by a Plymouth dealer. On the lot they had a brand new Road Runner that went for about $3000. I remember thinking to myself “what a car, but damn that’s a lot of money.” How things have changed.

PS - man, did I ever lust over that car.

Looked something like this:

Assuming this was around 1968 (year of the pictured car), that $3,000 is worth $25,790 in 2023.

You don't get much for $26K todays.
