aussiew Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP 25. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. 24. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. 23. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. 22. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. 21. You hear your favorite song in an elevator. 20. You watch the Weather Channel. 19. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up." 18. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. 17. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." 16. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down their music. 15. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. 14. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. 13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up. 12. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers. 11. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. 10. You take naps. 9. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. 8. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach. 7. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests. 6. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good sh--." 5. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. 4. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again." 3. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. 2. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "What the hell happened?" And the number one sign you are getting old is: 1. You read this entire list looking for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass. Then you forward it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it.

ieatcrayonz Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have as much or more respect than anyone for old people but doesn't this thread point out how depressing their lives have become? What do they have to look forward too? Getting even older? How do they look? How do they smell? They live off public handouts. The term "Two steps above Canadian" comes to mind.

I think you are putting too much stock in superfacial things. Their's more to a person besides the smell. Take cincy for instance, he may smell bad, but he's always punctual and he spells good. And I look like crap but I'm always happy to eat someone's birthday cake. And handouts are not a bad thing, mead has gotten a case of wine because he was willing to ask. Remember, Sammy's a senior citizen himself. Judge not lest ye want a good butt whipin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
