Are you old?

[Solid Snake]

I was reading about what is considered to be "old" these days and surprisingly, 80 is now considered old where it used to be 65. Also, Millennials are going through midlife crises so we are talking 25 to 35 year olds when this used to not happen until around 50. An independent newswire in Britain complied a list of signs that you are old and here it is! Read through the list and see how many apply to you.

1. You fall asleep watching TV or reading the paper
2. You become forgetful
3. You groan when getting up from a chair or out of bed
4. You say ‘back in my day’
5. You choose clothes for comfort rather than style
6. You repeat yourself
7. You have no idea what is in the music charts
8. You insist ‘things aren’t as they used to be’
9. You choose places to eat because they play quiet music
10. You have an afternoon nap
11. You don't know the names of current celebrities
12. People offer you a seat on public transport
13. You prefer to stay in rather than go out drinking
14. You have a low tolerance for teenagers
15. You forget where your glasses are
16. Choosing to meet friends for lunch or dinner rather than a night out for drinks
17. Choosing a cup of tea over an alcoholic drink
18. Wear slippers all the time
19. You watch ‘old’ TV shows like Antiques Roadshow
20. You spend weekends or bank holidays in garden centres
21. Gardening is a hobby
22. You only listen to music from your youth
23. You don’t hesitate to complain about poor customer service
24. You always take an umbrella or coat out with you, just in case
25. You get a haircut to ‘suit your age’

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I looked through the list. 1-8 I do. I don't eat out really ever so 9 doesn't apply to me. 10 does happen now and then but not daily. I really don't know many famous people because I don't pay attention to that stuff. I don't use public transportation. 13 has been be since I was 16 LOL. 14 to 17 apply to me. Meh only in the winter. I watch TV land and that is about it these days and that includes shows like Rosanne and The Golden Girls. Not sure what a garden centre is. I nearly started a garden this year as a hobby... I listen to music from the 90's and prefer it BUT I do like music of today, just not traditional stuff. Things like Blackmill and such without lyrics >>>. I complain about it every time I order something online and it is shipped poorly. I even get a refund if I think it is justifiable. I don't like my hair getting wet so... And I haven't had my hair cut in like 6 years. I just trim it myself. Really needs to be cut though since Joey ripped and broke a lot of hair on my right side. It looks BAD lol

So there you have it. I may as well be an old hen. :dawg:
