When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.
Get off my lawn.
Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
My what?
Your getting older. They are asking the abstract noun representing your aging what some signs are. I don’t think your getting older is going to be able to answer, though, and I doubt it has much knowledge of signs.
The music I grew up with is “classic” and the “hits of yesterday” that I don’t recognise on the radio is “young people’s music”.
You mix up your and you’re.
That you are alive is the surest sign.
*your
Sorted that for you
Get off my lawn
Asking what the signs of getting older are?? 🙂
Letting autoincorrect slip in homonyms
You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
Pain. Just pain and exhaustion doing everyday things. Recovery time from the same pain taking longer and longer as time goes on.
I’m not even 30 yet, and it really puts a damper on things.
Wait till you’re 65, cupcake. If you make it.
Is that a threat?
😂
You might want to get that checked out. You shouldn’t be feeling pain to that level in your 20s. I’m 40+ and do not have pain and exhaustion from everyday things. I work outside daily on my farm as well. So you really shouldn’t be feeling this at 20.
About 50% of it is probably obesity, the rest… well, chronic pain is very common in my family.
Are there any people in your family that are not obese that have chronic pain? If not then I’ll bet it’s closer to 100% due to obesity.
You only get one life to live… eat right and exercise, you can do it! I am half way to my target weight after 6 months of busting my ass and I feel a million times better.
Yea that combo will do it.
I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don’t fall down, you “have a fall”.
People at a store ask if I want the senior discount…hurumph rude! LOL
Doing an oil change, rotor and brake pad change in same day, means my back and legs are sore for a few days after
I didn’t get a harumph from that guy!
