Re: I knew I was old when...

For some reason my post will not "post" I'll try it this way When I was volunteering last December at O'Hare airport escorting Santa thru the terminals, I was asked if I was Mrs Claus

I knew I was old when I had to have cataract surgery!  However, evidently that's not just something old people require.  My cousin had it done when she was 42.  Of course, to some people 42 is old!

Constance 2, I did the same thing!  First I tried finding a phone # to tell them not to send me any info.  After lots of research, I finally found one and called them.  The info kept coming, so I did what you did.

The other day I was telling a story that required me to tell about my dad always giving me a dime and saying, "wherever you are, for whatever reason, if you need a ride, call me."  My young friend had no clue about pay telephones.  Boy did I feel old!


@MacDUFF...OMG, my mother used to say the same thing! Before I left the house, she would always give me a dime to put in my pocket. There were pay phones on every corner back then (as well as mail boxes). Where the heck is a mail box now when you need one?LOL

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

When a twenty something, got a busy signal after dialing a phone number and honestly couldn't comprehend what it meant. (She is so used to answering machines and voice mail.)

I knew I was old when I couldn't chew gum without biting the inside of my cheek.  I guess everything is sunken or falling!

My doctors and my priests all started looking like they could be children.
