You Know You Are Old When

Well, as mentioned earlier, my daughter is thinking about my demise!!

Last week at my sister‘s funeral in front of a couple of my sisters my daughter brought up the fact that I don’t want to have a fancy funeral. All I wanna be is roasted and toasted and sprinkled out in the woods.

My brother-in-law, who is 12 years older than me stated that’s what he wanted. My sister just looked at him and gave him a dirty look.

Why do people feel the need to consume so many dollars to put on a fancy funeral for a couple days and then consume a burial spot for ever?

Funerals are for the living because they don't want to lose their loved one just yet. It's a way of holding on.

And I read that when people cry at funerals they're really crying for themselves and their own mortality. I guess I understand both sides.

You kind of know you are old when an Amazon chain saw is expected to last the rest of your life!

Most of the stuff I’ve seen on Amazon is junk or one time use item

You can buy name brand items from Amazon.

Are you guys suggesting that the Stihls sold on Amazon are big box store quality? and less than small dealer quality?

Yeah, I get that just going through losing my sister. I recognize that I was doing all of that.

You can buy SOME namebrand stuff, but more often than not. It’s junk.

Concerning cremation - I was pretty much for it until I saw "Doctor Who episode 827: Dark Water".
Makes me wonder.

You know that you're getting old when you still have your old trusty backup saw hanging in the barn in case your Amazon saw breaks down during your second cut.

And you've used one to cut wood.

I need to get that down and clean it up. It should be covered in grease.
