You know you are getting old when your mother-in-law and father-in-law are 20 years younger than you. Yep... true story about a 69 year old man in the Philippines that married a 30 year old girl!

In Georgia you know your old when your hunting and fishing license is free for your lifetime....My GA. hunting and fishing license expires on 12/31/2399 ....Imagine that...I told my Mrs. it is prophetic ...the State must know I am going to live to be 300+ yrs. old....:thumbsup:

... when you meet monthly with the guys from 'the old plant' and a handful weren't even born when you hired in. (Bruce)

... when some of them are discussing their Soc Sec 'entitlement'. (me)

... when your town has been been broke for decades after converting 'the old plant' to an untaxable parking lot.

... when the apartments built on the site of your high school have been trashed & were boarded-up 20 years ago.

... when you talk tractors on the machining forum and machinery here, not remembering you joined two groups. (doh!)

... when an adorable 4 yr old surrogate grandchild sees a gray hair & says "I don't like you. You're going to die." (sigh)

... when you dream of nuclear attacks & wake up scrambling for a desk to crawl under.

... when folks think your despondent and you just think your being real 'cuz you've BTDT long before it was an acronym.

... when you search the fridge 3 times for the Miracle Whip only to find later that it's still at the front of the middle shelf.

... when you finally learn from teenagers that napping is indeed 'something to do' ...
