You know you're getting old when

[Terrel L. Shields]

hen on your way you remember something else you forgot to do.

Thanks, I just remembered I need to assess my autos before I can renew my licenses in April.
Edit - bingo... Took all of 2 minutes.

You know you are getting old when you have the most posts on you know you are getting old.

I forgot to go to my jury duty. I must be getting old.
I wanted to go and give Fernando Justice.

This is probable true, but getting old and living longer wasn't anticipated when social security was invented. And they only just recently increased the age for retirement.

“The boomers have created a social welfare state for themselves that they never had any intention of paying for,” Zeihan said. “Fast forward to today, two thirds of them are retired. They're taking their money, they're going home. The taxes that they're paying have dropped off, and we are left with a welfare state to fund their retirement without their income to pay for it all.”

As millennials — who have already overtaken boomers as the largest U.S. generation, with 72.7 million people — gain political power, they will likely push for major budget reforms. And according to Zeihan, Gen X will be the ones footing the bill.

Zeihan’s suggestion to Gen X is clear: “If you're an Xer, our time has finally arrived, but it's only going to be a moment, so make the most of it, get your money where it's going to be protected because sooner or later the millennials will figure this out, and we will find a way to get the budget back into some degree of balance, and it will be Gen X paying for it — but not today.”

There's a house which has been a fixture in my hometown which on Halloween, the house is extensively scarily decorated attracting the town's kids.
My children grew up going there every year. Every year the house gets more decorated.
Last year I didn't go when my dog was too old to walk over there like past years.
Yesterday I saw the For Sale sign which saddened me.
It would make sense that the homeowner has gotten old and is moving on (or downsizing).
A reminder of the past is going but good memories trick & treating, and I'm getting older.

I'm somewhat careful now about laying something down and not thinking about it. Of course there are moments of no memory. I just used my phone, but shortly can't find it.
Went walking around the 1st level looking at all the spots i could have laid it. And i know now why old people get angry, something else to control when not finding. So, i'm on my last trip around again, will have my daughter call so i can hear it. Right before i give up, i glance at the remote pocket by the lamp table. So instead of putting the remote in it, i put my cell phone in it. God help me, pleeeeeze.

I did the same thing yesterday. I asked my wife where my phone was, and she said it's in your hand. Slightly embarrassing.

Lately when I driveby my comps, I tend to misread the address. I realize I need to wear my bifocal glasses and lay down my raybans.
