1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't 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 leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. Unless you are a SoWaller!
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"

Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old butt.

Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it & do the same!

No. 15. The back thing started happening to me about a month ago.
No. 16. I am pregnant so yes I take naps.

#24- You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

I don't think that is a "getting old" thing. We did that in college! We also ate at home so we wouldn't spend money on food!!:lolabove:

This is the most depressing thing I have ever read. I scored higher on this test than on my last blood pressure reading! Here are my additions to the list:

I have always considered it a bad sign of aging when one starts eating cold cereal for the evening meal.

You know at least one person who says the only time they watch television is during their colonoscopy. 😱

Oh Donna!:lol: If it makes you feel any better, I have cold cereal quite often for dinner. (I scored really high too, but Miss Kitty will call us geezers if we keep this up!):lol:
