The best way to tell if you're old is to fall down in front of a crowd of people. If they look at you at laugh, you're still young. If they run to you in a panic, then you know you're old.
That sounds reasonable. Yesterday, I went to the park with my wife, son, and four grandkids. I was watching the kids play. There was a device on the equipment that was something you hang on to and ride for about 12 feet. My son said I should do it. You may recall that I had shoulder surgery back in December. I was feeling pretty good. I reached up and grabbed it with both hands. When I put my full weight on it (215 pounds or 15.4 stone), my shoulder made itself known. Woah! I don't know if I will ever get it back fully, but I hope so. I guess 6-8 months recovery may be the case. I am only about half way through that. I guess I will never play football or pitch again. HA! I am old.
I have a sleep number bed. In years past, I would spring out of bed, refreshed and ready to go. Now, no matter the sleep number I choose, it hurts to sleep more than 5 or 6 hours. When I was younger, I could sleep for 12 hours or more and not feel achy when I got out of bed. Also, if I don't shave every day; my white whiskers remind me that I am just rotting fruit on a vine.
During the course of my recent flubug, I didn't shave on Saturday morning(when I was feeling my weakest). I FELT old because I couldn't manage shaving, and I LOOKED old by seeing what was quickly growing. But in spirit I'm still young.
My 3 week old beard is much grayer all over than it was a few years ago, the last time I had one. I feel old. Worn out.
Yes when i miss a few days my white facial hair reminds me that im not young anymore lol also glad im not alone in this . Thank god the hair on my head hasnt changed to white yett.
At 47 I am still not that old. What makes me feel older is telling all the kids the things 'OLD' guys use to tell me. I guess it's just being a grumpy old guy.
I got one when todays music bothers you and you start talking bout back in my day thats when you know you turned into your dad aka you are old hahaha
