I just figured it out Saturday night on how one knows that one is old …
You know you're old when you stop sneaking out of the house to go to parties and start sneaking out of parties to go home

You know you're old when you have more pills in your pill organizer than rounds in your ammo carrier.

Well my dad's is 95 and still drives. So there's hope for me yet.
No..... your grandchildren!
The way the schools are these days it's possible he thinks the CW was only ten years ago.
The running gun.. I shot that course in the Army. You run to the each firing line with your rifle, drop to the prone at 400 yds, sitting at 300, kneeling at 200 and standing at 100..One of my biggest gripes is all the acronyms!
I swear, it's like a new, different language WTH
Seems like a new one is hatched every day.
Would it qualify as knowing how to speak a second language if you were fluent at it?Doesn't matter, I'm not.
Also, do guns really run, like a dog or maybe even an engine?
I decided to find out, I put my Beretta on the floor and said, "alright boy, go get'em"!
Gun just looked at me.
So, I thought maybe it needs to be loaded, fueled up if you will.
Again, it had the last laugh
Stupid aggravations but hey, it helps the days go by
I can never understand the new fangled slang terms. Everything is badass. Badasses kicked your ass. A hack. Someone threw a hatchet or chopping wood. A virus ment YOU were sick not your computer. It had bugs!!!
You know your old when the machines you worked on sit in the Smithsonian.
I knew I was the old timer when the new boss told me his name and I didn't care what it was. Told him "I don't bother learning the names of you kids everything they send a new one down here any more." He didn't like that but I just turned around in mid-sentence and went to work.
Reminds me of the book by Sam Fuller and what the movie The Big Red One was based on... the guys the story is based on stopped making friends with the replacements they sent for their platoon....

When you talk to young people about anything pre 1990 and they have no clue.
Yeah! Ask em what years the Civil War, WW 1 or WW2 was fought. LOL

When you're in the supermarket and here a The Cars song playing and realize holy crap, that was nearly 50 years ago when it came out.
My wife, while at her latest hospital stay, remarked to me the all her doctors were teenagers or at least looked that way.
I had a summer job as a laborer for a San Antonio home builder. Man that was hot hard work!
But……. I had that Cars cassette waiting for me in my trusty Ranchero for my trip home at the end of the day
I was thinking if you got nothing better to do then post "you know your old when".....you post this question 6 times! this might be answering that very question for you.
And you're forgetting when you can't take ibuprofen because the doctor says it'll damage your kidneys even more. Aspirin the same way.
He didn't say I couldn't drink alcohol though.
And yet my heart doc says take an aspirin a day.
