From "Getting Older" by Hal Scholle
You Know Your're Getting Old When:
- you order stewed prunes and your waiter says, "Excellent choice!"
- you learn that growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional.
- you write lists of things to do and then forget where the lists are.
- happy hour is the nap before dinner.
You Know You're Getting Older If:
- it takes two blocks to get your car up to speed.
- you want to see how long your car will last instead of how fast it will go.
- you think a CD is something you buy at the bank.
- your joints are more accurate than the Weather Channel.
- you know your way around, but don't feel like going.

Got to admit I can identify with all of the above. Seems like growing old should have some compensations. I am not in receipt of any thus far. My arthritis is attacking my hips, my anxiety attacks are through the roof with my daughter going through a divorce, my work is tiring me more than I want to admit and I wonder how long I can keep being an A type person, and my husband worries me to pieces as he is the love of my life but 7 years older than I, and my father just turned 90 and I worry about that too...so you see ...it is not just menopause...it is womanpause and we don't seem to gain on it much.
