You know you're getting old when.......
help
As life moves on there are signs which tell us, without any chance of doubt, that we are getting older, going downhill, coming off the final bend or generally ready to turn off the lights, lock the door and depart gracefully. What is/are your particular tell-tale symptoms?

...you stop caring about how you'll be remembered
au contraire, Projoy. You start caring about how you'll be remembered.
No, no. Your teens and twenties are the time when you care about your legacy, because those are the years where it looks as if you might actually achieve something of note. :)
No, no... you're confusing teenage ego with the development of a truly noteworthy talent! Or maybe this is just me?
You develop delusions of grandeur.
What you view as nostalgia, your colleagues view as history.
...you never say "that's a novel idea" any more.
You view household plants as members of your family.
The woman across the table has crows feet in the corners of her eyes, a little-to-medium second chin and a couple of droopy bits - and you are still attracted to her.
"Sex" is just another word.
You suddenly realize that a cardigan really does have its advantages.
Your waistcoat starts to look more like a bra.
When your old belts now hold up tomato plants instead of your trousers.
The creak of your knees leads you to think that the floorboards are in need of attention.
You may not be able to remember your daughter's name but you can describe every boyfriend she ever had.
. . . A car becomes something to dodge, not something to drive.
. . . You have two cups of coffee and you're anybody's.
... You can't remember how to unbutton your zip.
You can't sit down to a meal without thinking of the enormous quantity of food you must have eaten over all those decades. All that chewing and swallowing, year after year!
Going to the library is the highlight of your week
Last of the Summer Wine reflects your choice of lifestyle.
You forget bold tags twice in the same game.
Toys that you played with as a child often turn up on Antiques Roadshow
You hold your teeth in your hand as you brush them. [toothless grin]
- You look forward to going to bed to sleep.
