You Know You Are Old When

[fatjay]

I feel like I'm still in my 20's. Until I look at people who are actually in their 20's. Then I think, I must be in my 30's. Until I see people in their 30's. Then I think, well I at least must be human, until I look at other humans. What a mess.

You're happy to finish a Rubik's cube in under 15 minutes and then you see some kid do it in 3.057 seconds...

Get back on the porch old man.

My granddaughter couldn’t figure out how to do it, I told her I would do it for her, I took it home, took it apart and put it back together all better now!!!

For the first time in a LONG time I stopped at Mickie D's.

Fish fillet sandwich, standard drink and I upsized the fries to a large.

I had to pay them $11 to get change back.

I know some restaurants for $4 more I can get a much better meal (but I guess I don't have to tip at Mickie D's LOL).

We went for a sit-down breakfast at a locally owned restaurant after church Sunday morning. It cost me $60 with tip for my wife, son, and myself, $50/$10 tip.

I also filled her SUV and gave the church $100. That Sunday morning cost me over $200. I told my wife, "See, that's why I don't go to church very often!"

I'm not big on going out for breakfast.
Generally most of the foods are easy to cook and basic items.
30 large eggs at Costco here is $9. Bacon is regularily on sale for $5/lb. Toast bread aboot $3 a loaf.
Tea/coffee is relatively inexpensive.
So for $20 or less I can make 10-15 servings cooked exactly as I like it.
I don't need to get dressed, I can take as much time as I like or waste gas getting there.

Nephew used to like showing us how fast he could do his Rubik cube.

But when he occasionally got bogged down, he would look up, grin, and say Sorry I don't know that one!

My wife likes to go out once in a while. I don't blame her, she works hard. I'd say we eat out at a sit-down-restaurant maybe once per month, if that.

I still have the original Rubik's cube, so it's kinda tight to move things around. The competition ones have rounded edges and slide like butter. But I'll do it while I'm watching TV. It helps with dexterity and I had my finger smushed around 2019. Just something to keep the brain occupied, too.
