Rate: 20 Flag

you don't really need to have anyone get you a gift for the holidays.

your wife wants a "white noise" generator as a holiday gift.

you want politicians to stop trying to tinker with Social Security and Medicare.

you know longer care what anyone else thinks....even at work!

you have more hair growing from your nose and ears than on your head.

you make references to Reagan's acting career and other's ask Reagan was an actor?

you remember when Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields, Diane Lane, Jody Foster, and the Olson twins were child actresses.

bipartisan was not an epithet.

popular music now sounds like noise.

you check out the 40 and 50 something women instead of the young ones.

Haven't you heard, 50 is the new 30. And - who's Reagan?

The key to staying young is to surround yourself with people older than you are. Not wiser, just older....

When the young things in my office have "80s parties" and think it's hysterically funny. Some of them were born after I graduated from high school.

I don't do 80s retro parties. I just bring my yearbooks.

Well, except for the wife and looking at 50 plus women (except to compare how we look in a swimsuit), this is hilarious because I understand! R

I guess you know you're REALLY old when you can remember Natalie Wood, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, and Elizabeth Taylor as Child Actresses....an amusing romp!!

You remember when Records were made of black vynil. And you remember being able to browse around in record and book stores.

You remember when nobody thought about Global Warming.

But who is this Reagan people keep mentioning? =o)

Regarding your observations on getting older:
"you no longer care what anyone else thinks...."
