Sackrete kicks my ass these days. I built 7 planters at 2 sacks each, and then couldn't lift them. Let's see: 80 pounds plus 80 pounds equals 160 pounds.
That's heavy. I had get creative with ramps to transition from the potters bench to the final resting place. And now every thing in them has frozen and died.

sigh

oh, and I turned 65 yesterday. That'll make ya feel old, because you are.

 

I’m so freaking old, that I’ve totally forgotten when I first felt old.

Maybe it’s because I really haven’t felt old yet.

 

My dad brought home one of the first ones available in Utah in 1974. It weighed about 40 pounds, and had one setting. It was built like a tank, though. I think we could have sterilized medical tools in it.

That, and the first time I was called "Papi"...

 

My bunny was in the hospital dieing and I went for something to eat & was given the senior discount. I was only 57.

 

Back in the first days of covid I was at walmart grocery shopping.
They were out of milk and I asked a woman working there when they would get some more milk in.
She told me to be there early in the morning and they let old people in to shop first.
I guess I must have given her a strange look as she started apologizing for calling me old.

 

Reverse... my wife at 73, we bought two senior movie tickets .. and the guy asked her if she was really over 55. She loved that guy.

 

When I saw my niece recently for dinner and she told me that she is already 18 years old plus going to college. Used to watch her when I was younger. She has grown up to be young woman compared to the little girl I remember.

 

Maybe 6 yrs ago: Shopping in Macy's men's dept, with my wife, (She 3yrs younger than me) arguing about shirts, She talking to a younger lady close by and the woman whispered to her...I know, I find it so hard shopping for my father.

 

When your kid Googles what you've explained to him/her right in front of you just in case the old man is wrong

 

Ouch... that hurt

 

The whippersnapper 20-somethings on my project get blown away by my sense of humour.

Like they expected the old schoolmarm boss lady to not have jokes? Come on!

 

I had to buy reading glasses today!!!!! Nothing is wrong with glasses, but I only need them because my eyesight is getting worse with age :/

 

When I see myself in a photo.
I look older in photos than in a mirror; ( optical illusion ? )

 

I don't feel old until I get out of my chair.

 

My boss asked if he could borrow my pen. I gave him one of my fountain pens. He looked at it with a puzzled look on his face, and wrote with the nib upside down.

 

I can't say I am over the hill, because I was never on top of the hill.

 

everyday waking up i feel too old for this shitty world but then I pull myself together and just... make this world to be mine

 

What the hell you mean old as dirt...Dirt never gets old.

 

When my step kids graduated. Was with them since they were 4 and 5. Oh and I just found out that yesterday marked 35 years since Mater of Puppets by Metallica was released.

 

In work I brought up the TV show, “Welcome Back Kotter” the group I was with never heard of it. I didn’t think I was old I just felt they lived a sheltered life.
lol
