I know I'm getting old when...

[Koz]

... I tried to stifle a sneeze in the grocery store today and pulled a muscle in my back!

No good. If you need anything, I'm just a little over an hour away.

I knew I was getting older when I forgot what CRS stands for.

But the good news is, now I can hide my own Easter eggs.

I’m just old enough to remember the days that people would cough to cover up the sound of their own farts in public… then, during COVID, people would fart to cover up their coughs..

I read a meme today that I'm the only generation that knows how to program the clock on a vcr.

I new I was getting old, while driving my car, I started to complain about the old geezer that was holding up traffic, but stopped when I realized the problem car was was mine.

I knew I was getting old when the girl ringing me up at Burger King told me she gave me the senior discount.  I was 45 at the time…..

I knew I was old when I was buying a boxed bottle of Grey Goose vodka and the woman at checkout said “birthday?” I replied “no, it’s a Christmas present.”

I knew I was getting old when I started referring To Willy Nelson and Keith Richards as "those young musicians".

I actually threw my back out sneezing when I was 7-8 yrs old! I can still remember doing it .

I’m actually not joking about pulling a back muscle. To make matters worse, I have a chest cold right now so whenever I cough it tweaks that back muscle.

 

I finally get a few days off and now I’m too sick to fish!

I know I'm getting old when I have to rest between catching two smallmouths.

I keep forgetting how many wraps I’ve made on my Alberto knot …. If I can even see it.

all my old fishing piers have been demolished, or simply shut down.  we used to fish in seacliff, where they had this big cement boat sunk in the sand, and a pier leading to it. concession stand, etc.  in the past decade the boat flipped on its side, the pier  got demolished........ and another pier we fished on regularly has been barricaded for decades......  makes ya feel old when these things you thought would be there a long time, are there no longer

I pinched my sciatic nerve last January lifting a gun safe (I know, bad idea).

 

Its flared up 3 more times since. It’ll last for a few days and then go away. I have physical therapy exercises at home to do which seem to help. I just have to do them regularly.
