Want to feel old?

There is nothing wrong with me!

But,

I say "what" more ...
I am spending my kid's inheritance on dental implants .... now that is how you can take it with you!
I stand for the flag and the anthem, but I put a knee down to pick up something off the floor ....
When I pick up something off the floor, I look around to see if there is anything else I need to do while I am down there ...
I think more and more about getting a button bike ...
and if I do my yoga stretches, I can still clip my toe nails, but jes barely ...

etc. (etc. means there is surely more, but I do not want to take the time to think them up!!)

Oh yeah! I lose things more and more .... lost my truck keys only yesterday .... and they are still lost!

They'll turn up, in the meantime take all the wheels off the truck just in case. Hopefully you'll remember before the last ones off, if not its good exercise.

Rumour has it the Orientals have developed a wireless which doesn't need to warm up..

Funnily enough, battery powered valve wireless sets warmed up in about a second, because the hot filament in the valve was the cathode.

AC mains ones require a separate cathode to be heated up by the filament. That’s what takes all that agonising time while you miss the start of Dick Barton, Special Agent!

When reading one of the early replies in this thread, I thought I had a good reply. But when finished reading the thread, I've forgotten what to write.

I often start a conversation with the express intention of making a specific point, then realise I've rambled so much I forget what the point was :-(
A bit like going upstairs then forgetting why.... (Perhaps that's why so many retire to bungalows)

Actually, many times you will be doing whatever you're doing, then stumble across an alien with a memory eraser as seen in the movie "Men In Black", and they zap your memory in order to get away un-noticed...

To me, that makes more sense than it being age related, cos I’ve always been like it !!
