1. I still seem to like the music, books and films I did as a teen or younger.
2. I believe I am still the same person.
3. People ~ especially women ~ seem to look longer and more appreciatively at me: I think I've gotten better looking as I get older. *
4. My underpants are in a terminal state and also in a terminal state of denial as to their state.  :buggedout:

 :teddyr:

* I call BS on that one.  :wink:

You can't call BS on youself, Trevor. You're supposed to give that opportunity to others. Where is you etiquete, man?

  :teddyr:

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Trevor.  My tastes haven't changed much over the years.  The major difference between Trevor and me is that women have always followed me around, hoping that someday they would win my affections.*

* I call BS on that one.

The other day we were doing a few things around the house to prepare for moving.  I looked out a window I had jumped out of 10 years prior and said "theres no way my ankles would survive".

1. I still like the same music

2. Life is conspiring against me,making me drop things more often,because bending over just isn't as fun as it used to be....or easy!

3.Everyone I work with seems younger than me

4.My patience with rude folks wears thinner every day

5.I think my arms are getting shorter

6.I think my feet are getting bigger

What used to make me angry just makes me tired.

I appreciate women more as blessings, rather than as aquisitions.

I have less tolerance for willful ignorance, and professional victimhood.

I find more and more things about myself to laugh about.

This week I couldn't remember if the garbage man comes on Mondays or Tuesdays.  In my defense I was trying to remember this at 6:30 on a Monday morning.   :smile:

I honestly don't want a Lamborghini any more.  I'd put it in the garage and never drive it, and my regular car would have to sit outside.

I find it very easy to be apathetic about pretty much everything that doesn't personally effect me or my family.

I think most people's "problems" could probably be solved by giving them a good boot in the a$$.

As I get older I find that:

 My parents were right about a lot of things.

 Everybody lies about something at some time.

 There are still beautiful things in the world.

 It gets easier to say "NO".

Be grateful for what you have. 

Patience is quickly leaving me and I'm a lot more mean.  I kind of like it that way too.

My knee is taking up meteorology as a hobby!

Time seems to be moving faster. I know it actually isn't but it does seem to be.

I like less and less modern movies, TV and music but there are exceptions.

I appreciate courtesy and respect more and more. I've less and less use for rude and intolerant people.

The more I'm scared for the future generation and their addiction for technology that for some is actually working to isolate them from the world. Also I'm scared values, morals and ethics are not getting through to some kids in a world filled with vulgar, distasteful TV shows without any point behind them.

I find the more and more I like stuff from before I was born and stuff from the time in which I grew up (70s, 80s, early 90s).

 :teddyr: :teddyr:

As I get older I find that it's harder to find things. :smile:

I find that having kids later in life is a great way to keep one young. I'm tired all the time, sure, but that's a small price to pay for staying young.

Say....that sounds like my left knee. :teddyr:

Wasn't that a Daniel Day-Lewis movie?

My patience for the most part has gotten better (I do tech support for a living, it has to be good) but I've found I have far less tolerance for bulls**t than I used to.  I openly laughed at a car sales the other day when he tried to tell me a car's tired were less than a year old, and a few years back I would have politely ignored the comment.

How do I know my youth is spent?
My 'get up and go' has got up and went!

I've also noticed that my broad mind and narrow waist have changed places!

I can't seem to get away from you ol' farts  :tongueout: :teddyr: May be i'm turning into one! :buggedout: :teddyr:

I notice I'm more tolerant of some things I used to be against, and less tolerant of some things I used to consider OK.

I also have a far greater understanding of my dad, and there are times I'm sure I'm turning into him. Medication is helping with that though. :teddyr:

As I get older-?
I usta drink cuz I thought it was fun.
Now I drink because I'm an alchoholic.

To quote Zac on Fright Nite..."Gravity is my enemy."

I find I have less tolerance for putting up with people I don't care for.   Life's too short for that.

Also, I'm getting sexier every day. 

I'm never going to get any taller
I don't think I'm ever going to grow out of acne
My thighs are more jiggly than they used to be
Farts are still funny

This is worthy of karma!

Oddly my music is YOUNGER as I get older.  I was all about classic and prog rock when a teen and 20's.  Now I'm much broader (in music and pants size)and listen to lots of brand new stuff. 

As I get older I find that all the signals and signposts I used to rely on have become increasingly more complex than I expected they would be. The more I learn about the world, the more I realize I can learn. It's not being lost, it's that the wilderness is broader than can be imagined. Thank goodness for that.

"He who increases knowledge, increases sorrow."

"I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me."

At the same time I'm becoming more comfortable with the fact. I may have lost a dogma, but I've gained the ability to trust my tracking abilities.

"O brave new world! With such people in it!" (Irony intact.)

The printing on everything has gotten microscopic.  And blurry.  Damned manufacturers!   :hatred:

I have found the ideas that I held the most close to me were wrong.

I found that sometimes I have to look out for me and mine, and let others fend for themselves.

I have found that the people can always surprise you, and not to let first impressions judge someone.

I have found that guns are a blast, and not something to regulate.

I have found that my politics were wrong.

Lastly, I have found that I am worthwhile.

I can relate. I was a picky, narrow minded young b@stard, now I'm an even pickier, even more narrow minded old b@stard.

It's odd that I can remember that the Munsters lived at 1313 Mockingbird Lane but I don't remember where I left my keys.....or what I walked half way across the room to get .

Welcome to middle age!  Don't worry - if something really stressful happens, you will forget it soon enough! :teddyr:

You're probably right.oh clever one. :wink:

I could always remember trivia better than I could remember what I was supposed to be doing, even in my youth. Turned out to be ADHD, although I can't put all of the blame there.

I think as I get older, I don't feel quite as much embarrassment about people knowing things like that about me. I feel more comfortable just being myself, and more open about some of the things I'd previously thought just made me weird. I'm still a very private person, but there isn't the sort of underlying shame I would have had in my teens or twenties.

Ive turned misogynistic towards the brunt of women under 45.
:bluesad:

Watching a movie past 9:00 PM I find myself waking up sometime 5 times within 20 minutes.  I think I can fall asleep with my eyes open.

A day without aches and pains is a good day indeed.  All those things you did when you were young and indestructible - they're all still there, lurking in the background.  Waiting for age to catch up to you so they can remind you of their presence.

Memory's gone.  I watch dozens of movies, and if it's just one of those average 3/5 things, ask me about it a couple days later and I'll be hard pressed to remember the title.

Is it you changing, or is it just that more and more young women are becoming the sort you never could stand?

I've always felt older than I actually was, mentally. When I was in high school, and even college, I was more mature than my fellow classmates of the same age. I am finding that I have a lot less patience for stuff thats trivial. I just can't bring myself to gossip or chat about unimportant things, or what other people are doing.

I've also noticed that many people around my age are having kids/families. It seems like people just expect you to do that at a point. I don't know if the reeponsibilities of having children are for me.

You know Andy, I honestly don't know for sure. I just think its a priority thing when it comes to younger women.  They seem (trying to avoid blanket statement btw) to care about silly stuff.  Getting married, if they are 5 lbs overweight and most of all being "right" all the time.  It seems older women don't care as much about that.

It may be maturity showing.  Older women may be more secure in themselves: they can allow others to be wrong and not need to comment on it. Not so much not caring as it is acceptance.  Life experience teaches you to conserve your efforts; "choose your battles" and apply your energy to areas where it is most likely to actually have an effect.  That extra five pounds isn't going anywhere any time soon: why draw attention to it by going on about it?   :tongueout:

Of course, some just master the passive-aggressive truce. If you can't win, just say that arguing is pointless, then go on being wrong. Of course, that transcends boundaries of age and gender.

I find as I get older, I'm losing some of my cutthroat competitiveness. When it came to business rivalries, politics, community matters, whatever, I used to take things pretty personally, and I could be pretty ruthless when I got my back up. I generally get along with people, but especially back in my newspaper days, I'd have my share of feuds with municipal officials, local businessmen and whatnot. I think I've come to see that most people have good intentions and reasons for the things they do. I might not always agree with them, and I might even openly oppose them, but I can at least understand where they're coming from, and not make them into the bad guy. And if somebody puts a sidewalk where I don't want one, or approves a subdivision where I'd rather not have one, it's not the end of the world.

I'm still working on believing good intentions prevail.  Too often I decide that people are limited and simply find their own limitations insurmountable.  Not their fault at all, but I don't have to play with them if I don't like to.

People that are lazy or do really stupid things at work seem to irritate me more.

I agree with this. I just have little tolerance for that, and co-workers who are grossly dumb or unprofessional at their job are a huge annoyance of mine.

The older I get the more I find the regrets of my youth were unfounded, since one way or the other it ultimately wouldn't have made much difference.

I get obscure with my comments to people and I am sure they have not a clue what the f**k Im talking about-sometimes it escaspes me.
Its like fingerpainting with your mouth.

Mostley I dont do it on purpose....I think as I get older Im losing my marbles and that gives me the right not to give a f**k.
See?
Makes no sense,huh.
Am I joking?
Am I serious?
Am I just losing my mind...and using this board as threrpy?

I think Im doing it all at once.
