When you stand outside Greenwoods shop, looks at the cardigans and go, "Hmmmm"

I recall going through a phase of using a proportion of my lunch money to buy slush puppy on my way to school - even if it was January and about -10!
Argh, the 80's!!!

When your whole week's school dinners cost 60 pence. (I'm not kidding.) 
When I used to get the for my mom (when they served kids with them; )they were 5 shillings. (about 25 pence... this was 1970...or 1971...) Embassy she used to have. I was about FIVE when I used to go to the local shop, 30 yards from our front gate, to get them for my mom. How times have changed!quote:Originally posted by Sexy_Kelly:

Hasn't happened yet. I think another time you know you're getting old is when people stop calling you 'love' and start calling you 'dear.'LOLquote:Originally posted by Barolo:quote:Originally posted by Cheeky-Pixie:

Old age is when you can remember when the Dead Sea was only sick!
Old age is when your freinds compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're not wearing any!
A daughter complimentd her elderly father on his improved manners. "After all these years , I notice that you have finally started putting your hand over your mouth when you cough".
"I have to" he said "How else can I catch my teeth?"

You know you're getting old when your back goes out more than you do!
You're afraid to fall asleep in the chair in case the family thinks you're dead. (I find mysself doing this when hubby has a nap).
Everything either dries up or leaks.
You're the life and soul of the party even if it does go on until 8pm! (which worries me as we've a wedding to go to next month, abroad - and the the wedding starts at eight in the evening! My initial reaction was 'God, what time? I'll need to be in bed by 10'!

Well, there's lotions and potions and pads for anything these days.
I'm not that far advanced yet, but you know it's on it's way - just as you start knowing all the signs for heart attacks and symptoms of illnesses after a certain age. 
My grandfather was often asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?'
'Well', he would reply, '...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, whisky and margaritas into urine.'
