I’m of the age now that every day as soon as I wake up, I stick my elbows out to the side. If I don’t touch wood, then I’m still alive so I get up.

You know you are getting old when.....

You bend down to tie your shoe laces and think to yourself, "What else can I do while I'm down here?"

 

[Mrs. H]

-or you have to decide if you want to keep breathing or try and cut your toe nails.

A little tangential but on the same vein...
'Gladiators' is back on the telly, and like many on here I remember it the first time around (even met Wolf and Trojan in London's Planet Hollywood which dates this even more!)
So you're watching the revamped Gladiators and your mind momentarily wanders to wonder if you could still do what they're doing...
...then you remember that this morning you had to sit down on your bum on the kitchen floor to use your feet to 'walk' the washing machine back into its cubby as it tried to make good its escape during a particularly enthusiastic spin cycle.
-And it took you 20 minutes to work out how to get up again.

You bend down to tie your shoe laces

And start shopping for shoes & boots with inner zip-ups.

Cutting my toe nails these days, is the equivalent of having to contort myself like a Romanian gymnast.

When you fall over!

If you friends laugh, you are young. If they are concerned, then you old!

 

[MikeRT4]

....when you start making funny grunty noises when getting up or sitting down .

 

[Byronic]

"Friends with benefits" means that she will drive you to Hospital appointments . . . . . .

You get a letter from 'Pure Cremation' saying 'Here's Some Good news for 2026' on the envelope.
Hmm...for me or them?

When you can no longer trust a fart

 

[Patrick]

I was 79 last month and when asked if i would be celebrating i said, "no when you get to my age birthdays are just a reminder that your appointment with the grim reaper is getting ever nearer or if you're of a religious disposition your appointment with the Almighty is that much nearer".

 

[That hurts]

When you can no longer trust a fart

Beat me to it ... when the difference between a fart and a shart becomes more and more borderline

That just sounds wrong

Always look on the bright side of life
