You Know You Are Old When

Where's the beef?

In Niagara Falls where a million are waiting to see the eclipse under 100% cloud cover.

I was referring to a commercial made famous by a little ol lady that said. "Where's the beef"?

If you remember the commercial you would know the rest of the story.

Back then she was looking for just one burger patty. At some places these days it is hard to find a burger with just one patty. Rather than "where's the beef?", today it is "there's too much beef!" as far as my tastes are concerned.

More like where's the customers here as they enact the $20 minimum wage today for fast food servers... and the news is full of price hikes, layoffs, and automation. Politicians can f up anything!

And social media is outraged over price hikes, layoffs and automation as if fast food has margins to cover the added costs. Pretty soon you will be old when you see a person at the counter to order food from, rather than this:

You know your old when you have a going away party for you son on a Sunday, get back from church at 9:30 and then from 10 to 1 you set up your place for inside and outside for 14 people, cook on the grill that afternoon, and when everyone leaves at 5, after you feed the dogs and go lay on the bed, you just plain don't want to get up anymore.

Friend at church texted me at 5:30 if I was coming to the church's anniversary block party, and I was actually planning on going at the time in the morning thinking I would have plenty of time to make it after this party, but after laying down, I wasn't going anywhere.

When we first moved here, I could go through 6 or 7 fill ups weedwacking around the place and get it all done in a day non stop (generally under 8 hours). 20 years later here, if I can go 2 hours non stop, I consider myself lucky. Between my back operation and the shoulder replacement I need, I just don't have that non stop attitude anymore.

I went about 6.5 hours with a pressure washer Saturday doing the house, concrete steps, and sidewalks. OUCH on Sunday!

My daughter is in Toronto and just sent me this. Fact, not fiction.
