Many years ago I heard this from older construction workers when I was just a young buck. Now that I am returning to day labor as a form carpenter at 52 years of age I have come to understand.
After spending the past four weeks in North Carolina (without computer access) I am becoming reaquainted with various blogs and my typical internet information fix.
Anyway, staying with the theme a few thoughts on aging:
Signs that you are getting old:
- Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
- In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
- It takes a couple of tries to get over a speed bump.
- It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
- It takes twice as long to look half as good.
- No one expects you to run into a burning building.
- People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"
- People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
- The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... come back in style.
- The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.
- There's nothing left to learn the hard way.
- Things you buy now won't wear out.
- When getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
- When happy hour is a nap.
