You Know You Are Old When

[seville009]

I think maybe 3 months ago I bought an 8 piece bucket, no sides - just chicken, and it was about $25. Wasn’t even that good…..

This may need a new thread - BUT
you-know-you-are-old-when
You start wanting to label EVERYTHING on a project.
I started about 6 years ago, bought a good Brother Label printer, something like the PTD610DT, print up to 1" or better labels.
Labeled most of the drawers in my rolly carts in the shops. A godsend. Standard duct tape and MY HANDWRITING were not conducive to finding things.
Mistakes could be made.
THEN Brother came out with the "Cube" wireless, runs on batteries.
Seems like they had just been waiting for one last sucker (me) to buy their machine that did wider tapes.
So I bought the Cube. Works with my Android phone.
WONDERFUL.

You don't have much hair on your head, but your wife has to take scissors and cut hair off the back of your ear because it's driving her crazy looking at it...

Getting ready to leave the house for work, you come downstairs into you and your wife's office, and you inform your wife "gosh darn it, where did I leave my glasses" because you can read anything without them. Your wife then informs you that you also forgot to put your hearing aids in.

Both happened to me today...

At least she notices! I'll bet my wife could win a contest for least observant person on earth. I'll find a hair growing out of my ear, nose... heck, the middle of my forehead like a unicorn. Then I'll think, "this didn't just appear today, it's probably been growing like that for two weeks." Wife claims she never noticed, but sometimes I wonder if she's just laughing behind my back, and watching it grow.

I know a guy that has a full set of dentures, hearing aids and reading glasses, and sometimes a toupee.

His wife teases him saying "your problems are all in your head".

Getting a toupee is like getting breast implants...

I just call a balding head a solar panel for a sex machine, although I'm at the age my wife might disagree LMAO

I remember coming home from church with the kids in the backseat. I told my wife out loud I couldn't wait to get back home to get in the bed with her to take a good nap.

We looked at each other and started laughing and the kids were somewhat confused.

I didn't have kids until my 40's...

My wife was asked by a young lady several years ago, "Was Paul McCartney in a band before Wings?"

WTH???

Through her a curve saying he started playing in "The Quarrymen".
(B4 the Beatles)

"Yeah, but you've probably never heard of them."

Fortunately, I've still got about 90% of mine, but agree that a toupee isn't fooling anyone.
