You are old when you keep a list of all your medications and doctors on a spreadsheet so if you go to a new one you don't have to write it all down. 
hahaha, I met with the "new" doctor yesterday, after having the "old" one since 1990. It was slightly irritating that I had to phil him in on my history, not the good stuff, just the salient points, need to know basis. Slightly more irritating that he sat there with a laptop typing in stuff while we visited, even slightly more irritating that I think he is younger than me  . I did manage to work in a Bonneville America reference or three

You know you're old when that warm feeling in your pants is incontinence.
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

You know you're old when..
Every day you get out of bed like Nick Nolte did in "North Dallas Forty".
If you don't get the above movie reference, you have no business replying on this thread...

... a visit to a nursing home is like a high school reunion
... a visit to a nursing home elicits the response, "Geez, I wish I lived here."

and having people bring food to me."

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

....the younger guy's at work weren't even born before you graduated.
...you've made the statement " We didn't have cable tv. We had to get up to change the channels, only had 3 of em and they were all fuzzy."
....remember when you could fill a 20 gallon gas tank, buy a case of beer and a pack of butts all with a single 20 dollar bill.
My mind and body are still out of tune
I hope they run into each other real soon "

2nd one we had a rotor and lived on top of a mountain so we got 20 or 30 channels pretty clear if the weather was good. I can remember at the very least 16 of them between UHF and VHF and I'm sure a few more.
as for the 3rd one you would also get some change depending what you were driving and/or drinking.

Yeah well my Dad used to make me stand on the roof with a coat hanger, wired to our old b/w round screen TV. When he
wanted to watch PBS.
