25 signs you're getting old

1. Your potted plants are alive. And you can't smoke a one of them.
2. Having sex in a twin-sized bed is absurd.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You carry an umbrella. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hookup and breakup.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as 'dressed up.'
10. You're the one calling the police because those darn kids next door don't know how to turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 p.m.
17. Dinner and a movie - the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 a.m. would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drugstore for Ibuprofen and antacids, not condoms and pregnancy test kits.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer 'pretty good stuff.'
21. You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You don't drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking for one sign that doesn't apply to you!

 

Um..I can relate to all 25.

 

Whew, i'm not alone then....I feel so old

 

Holy crap! It's happening to me too!

It's a good thing the BBS is here to prevent #23 from being true.

 

Holy crap - like Papa said. In addition to #23, I just got a new Golden Retriever a few weeks ago and he eats Science Diet. I gave him a spoon full of ice cream and he heaved for 2 days. I eat Science Diet now!

 

none of these apply to me....really.

i'm going to be sick...like the dog

 

4, 10, 12, 15 and 21 are just plain wrong!!!

I was even happy that my 2 closest neighbors went away for Christmas; Gladiator with the surround sound cranked up loud as hell just rocks!

 

None of those had anything to do with racing motorcycles so thats good news!

 

#26. When you sit in the bath tub your balls float.

 

OK, that was (1) way too personal and (2) just gross.

 

Ok then. What about when there's more hair in your ears than on your head.

 

OK, but you do have to admire his powers of observation.

 

still safe at 31. nothing in the fridge but comdiments and beer. the dishes get done when we have no more to eat off of. you can puke and cook in the same pot as long as you wash it pretty good. cleaning anything is referred to as "a commitment". don and i know what time all 4 episodes of the simpsons are on everyday. we stay home on sunday night because "jackass" is on. oh yeah, racing motorcycles takes precedence over every other form of existence. "sleep all day, party all night, never grow old, never die, it's fun to be a vampire" the lost boys. see ya old people, rob.

 

Yeah, and when I go senile I'll probably attack them with the rubber duck. (49 and REALLY holding.)

 

By the time I got to 25 I forgot what it was a list of.....

 

Crap-ola! I was delusional up until you posted that damn list.
I still blast Black Flag, however it's through a CD player with Bose speakers in the BMW instead of utilizing a third hand turntable through blown fourth hand speakers.
No Ear hair yet, but I'm on nose hair patrol.

 

ROTFLMAO!!!

Dave, you'll have to join our group of reformed punks not willing to let go of the music club. I have my CD's that are only for "daddy" time when the Mrs. and the kid are not in the car.

What's funny is its not punk rock to be successful.

Texas,
As a very wise man once said, if you're not a rebel by the time you're 21 you have no heart, and if you're not part of the establishment by time you're 30, you've got no brains.
And in my opionion, there is nothing more punk rock then selling out. But I do miss the goofy haircuts with the color of the week. Hey wait, I didn't sell out, I just slowed down a bit, now where are my Crass records? Wait, The GF won't let me play those after 7 PM.

 

Find that wise man and buy him a beer!!! I admit, I miss the blue mohawks now and then, but I replaced manic panic with good old grease, and I won't pass up a good NOFX song!
