Painful back after a bit of light lifting and physical activity. Hard time keeping up with new technology (cryptocurrencies!)... I'm only 42 but I feel old. In fact, I feel older each day! ;)


These are some of the signs and symptoms. How old do you feel? Can you relate to the below mentioned... 

  • Falling asleep in front of the TV under a blanket
  • You change your email to a serious one
  • You don't even TRY to be cool anymore
  • You have to ask your kid what Bitcoin is
  • You need a drink to help motivate you to go out and have a drink
  • Happy Hour means taking a nap
  • You feel bad in the morning, without having any fun the night before

  • Your favorite type of plans are canceled plans
  • You're happy when cranberry juice and dried prunes are 2 for 1
  • A teenager describes you as middle aged

  • The trash goes out more than you do
  • You have to scroll down to find your birth year
  • You see some hot chicks wearing bikinis and think 'Hope they are wearing sunblock'

Imagine how bad it's going to be 10 years from now! I'm thinking Yoga might not be so bad after all.

When ever I get down about getting old I immediately hit the bottle, or the cat, then open my portfolio and think, every little thing, gonna be alright.

Great list. This is awesome:

Hello! I'm 66. Funny you should mention this.

we are all as old as we feel right ;)

I'm 48 and I have heard for years from my doctor "well, you're at that age when ____ <--- fill in the blank. Yeah, getting old is awful

With a blood type A-K-47 you´ll never have those problems ...

Heck, Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice!

and back ...
