Signs I've Become an Old Person

I'm Doing What I Thought Only Old People Did. Guess That Makes Me Old, Too. 

Old personOld People Like Me Like to:

  • Look for the early bird dinner specials because they save us money.
  • Talk about ailments and see who can one up the other.
  • Like to wrap their hands around the coffee cup because it warms the joints.
  • Constantly check the weather reports so we can dress appropriately and be prepared.
  • Love getting a bargain, brag about how much we save and proudly ask for every discount we can get.
  • Have several pair of glasses because we never know when will need to read the small print. 
  • Avoid eating more and more foods because they no longer agree with our digestive systems. 
  • Keep routines and feel off balance and out of sorts when things change up too much.
  • Play in their pills and have several different pill caddies to help keep them straight. 
  • Turn the volume on the TV way up because it is harder to hear every word. 
  • Have quiet time and love to sit and enjoy it. 

Do you feel old too?

You are not 'old' Debbie Reynolds - I don't think so!  I had to laugh, because the other day I told Roger, 'I'm becoming my parents!'  We're changing our style of eating, and now doing the larger meal of the day at lunch, as opposed to at dinner, which we've done for decades!  It has made a difference for me, so I'm thinking we will continue this.  Great Blog!

Well, I do 5 of those things but not all of those things. Maybe I've just always been an old fart anyway. I don't like environmental disruptions, the BART system confuses me and I can't take a light rail, I don't like to drive at night, plus I go to bed at 9 PM. See, old people traits.

Can't wait to retire so I can learn how to pinch pennies again and revert to what life was like as a teenager, LOL.

Guess I don't talk about my ailments enough. I'm thinking that's because my time is ever so limited. I became "OLD" at 50 when I could finally get those 50 cent Senior coffees. I don't need 'em for hand warmers but they do taste so much better at that price.

Everybody gets old. Not everybody gets smart. I still have friends that refuse to request Senior discounts because they don't want to feel old. So I buy the same thing they buy, only I pay 10-15% less.

HI Debbie Reynolds - I like my quiet time and I like to eat early to avoid the crowds. Feeling old is a state of mind.... just not mine! Have a great weekend.

Debbie,

No, no, no, we are not getting old or feeling old at all.  At parties we stay away from the oldsters because they are discussing ailments and doctors.  Since I was a child, I like my quiet time with a book to read, and I still do.

If you watch PBS, on their new series on the body, they focus on an 87 year old iron man triathlete who continues to compete.

Haha, I do have several pairs of readers because I keep misplacing them but if this list defines old, I'm still young!

I do not do any of the things on the list but feel old when I show homes to grown children of my past clients.

Hi Debbie... I admit to being old, but not to feeling old. In my head I am still 35! The only item on the list that I do is shop for bargains and brag about them! But I've been doing that all of my life. As for asking for senior discount... started doing that almost 20 years ago... I feel I 've earned it. And I've always liked my quiet time since I was a child.

Good morning Debbie.  I don't think of myself as old, but all of my doctors seem to disagree with me.

Hi Debbie,
I don't feel old in my head but my body sometimes tells me different.  I do admit to doing some of those things on your list.  I tend to look for early bird specials because I only want to eat two meals a day... late breakfast, early dinner.

Hi Debbie.  Some of the items on your list fit me, but more do not (at least not yet!!)

Much of your list certainly applies to me. 

From my perspective, you are a youngster!

OK, so a lot on your list applies to me. I already knew I was old. Now it's confirmed.

Check to quite a few items on your list. I'm not ready to call myself old though. My head tells me one thing. My body on the other hand has quite a different opinion!

So, the coffee cup, glasses, bargains and weather report items all resonate with me, Debbie. No way around it!

I am so sick and tired of doctors saying "It's a normal part of the aging process". Some of those item apply to me but I refuse to age gracefully...will fight it every step of the way!
