Subject: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Jan 03 - 11:56 AM This one is being written from a male point of view and I am inviting all the great women of the 'Cat (none of whom are aging) to throw in their thoughts. An open ended list here and additions are welcome! So let's see here................ TOP WAYS TO KNOW YOU ARE AGING *** The only time you think about doing it twice is just before you do it once. At first I related this to sexual matters but as I get older I notice it applies pretty well to everything.......**sigh**...... *** You meet an old friend and your first topic to catch up on is operations, illnesses, and disabilities of both yourselves and other friends. *** You move to the side of the bed closer to the bathroom. *** You notice that all those old fart "Mall Walkers" are actually your age! *** You act responsibly and go down to pre-arrange your funeral where you find they want the money up front. This actually cheers you up for a minute because at this point you know you can't possibly afford to die for a few more years at least! *** You now spend more time trimming your ear and nose hair than trimming your beard or shaving. *** You notice that you no longer see yourself in the fray while watching your favorite sport. As a matter of fact, even watching wears you out! *** You rip off a fart and instead of thinking it's good enough to clear a room, you whiff the air and say, "Grandpa?" *** You see some foxy 16 year old girl in skimpy attire and instead of thinking "WOW," you think how glad you are not to be her father. Add on friends........ Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: allanwill Date: 10 Jan 03 - 12:37 PM These from another chat site. Allan GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD: 1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. 2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. 3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there. 4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. 6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. 7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE: 1) You believe in Santa Claus. 2) You don't believe in Santa Claus. 3) You are Santa Claus. 4) You look like Santa Claus. SUCCESS: At age 4 success is . . . not peeing in your pants. At age 12 success is . . . having friends. At age 16 success is . . . having a drivers license. At age 20 success is . . . having sex. At age 35 success is . . . having money. At age 50 success is . . . having money. At age 60 success is . . . having sex. At age 70 success is . . . having a drivers license. At age 75 success is . . . having friends. At age 80 success is . . . not peeing in your pants. |

You sit in a rocking chair, and can't get it going. The cops all look like kids. You wake up and realize you are sleeping with someone's grandmother. |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Peter T. Date: 10 Jan 03 - 01:11 PM You know you are aging when your conversations are more and more taken up with the wise dead, the ancestors, through books, music, art and memory -- they speak of things that few in your time care about, but which are sweeter, saner, deeper; when you become much gentler with other people because you cannot know what secret griefs and burdens they are bearing, but you now have your own; when the great rhythm of things, the Tao, the Dharma, catches your attention more and more beneath the wash of the tired new; when you find yourself speaking less and less because you have said the same things, told the same stories, made the same jokes many times, and even you are weary of hauling around your kit bag of battered party favours. yours, Peter T. |

He stares at me for a few seconds, then he sez, "Hey, aren't you Don Firth?" I sez to him, "Yes, I am. You look kind of familiar to me, too." He sez, "Yeah! We went to high school together!" Sometimes I can't remember what I just did a few seconds ago. Sometimes I can't remember what I just did a few seconds ago. Sometimes I can't remember what I just did a few seconds ago.

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Rustic Rebel Date: 10 Jan 03 - 01:46 PM Warning When I am an old woman I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals. and say we've no money for butter. And I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along the public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick the flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and a pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes. But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We will have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. Jenny Joseph I just had to throw that poem in here. I've always thought it to be a pretty humerous one. So what do you really want to hear Spaw? Boobs sag, ass sags, face sags when skin loosens up, you find yourself plucking gray hair for your underarms. Rustic |

From: Amos Date: 10 Jan 03 - 02:26 PM Peter T, you have the rights of it; and it may less be a matter of chronological age than a matter of where you are in the repeating life-cycle of diving in and then backing out, hopefully with some acquired insight from the process...

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Jan 03 - 02:39 PM Rustic, that is exactly what I am looking for. And although some of my first post were things that have been said, several were original and in every case, it's something that has come to me within the past 6 months like a ton of bricks. The last one about the young girl.......When we were in Florida over Christmas, that one hit me hard. I don't know if others do, but somehow I have always seen myself, unaging at about age 23 or so. Saw this little girl at the zoo, perfectly well behaved and very nice kid with her family. She was very attractive and all I could think was "Geeziz, I'll bet her parents worry themselves sick over her." At the same time I realized that I was NOT in fact 23 anymore and my attitudes had changed, although I have no idea when it happened. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: bill\sables Date: 10 Jan 03 - 02:43 PM I find these days while watching adverts on TV for someones greatest hits that I have never heard of the singer in the first place and in quiz shows I can never answer the "Music" questions. But the most recent thing was a TV show with people impersonating other famous people, I couldn't tell weather they were good or not as I didn't know the famous person they were trying to do |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Amos Date: 10 Jan 03 - 03:00 PM The whole panoply of famous icons I once related to mentally is completely obsolete. There are two generations of completely regenerated and reinvented personalities. I still think of Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, the Duke and Dirty Harry as movie stars. (My DNA has also forced me to make room for that beautiful wide-smiling Julia Roberts, but...). The people who are being cast up on the media driven celestial map of "stardom" these days are complete strangers to me. Music, fashion, politics, even literature with a few exceptions, might as well be from another planet. I still think proudly of Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, ROger Maris and Mickey Mantle, for crissakes! LOL!! I am gradually coming to terms with then otion that I am just hopeless as far as the mainstream goes, and it no longer bothers me, because I honestly don't think of the mian stream as very main, and possibly no more astream than Disneyland's Amazon Boat Excursion is!! :>) Speaking of which, anybody heard from Annette Funicello?? LOL!! A |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: mg Date: 10 Jan 03 - 03:08 PM I can tell you haven't kept up with Annette Funicello. She has very serious multiple sclerosis (or MD)..and is in a wheelchair and very incapacitated. She did have a doll or teddy bear or some sort of business for home shopping I think. She is still very beautiful and in fact inspirational. We used to play Mousekateers and fight over who got to be Annette. I never won. My main thing about aging is turning seriously toward voluntary simplicity. It definitely did not start out voluntary..I was forced into it kicking and screaming..but I have downsized everything...I don't own anything I can't leave behind..my clothes fit into a couple of laundry baskets..I own two permanent books and a few diet books (two permanent are Up from Slavery and Kiplings Poems). I will stay at my very modest job (in pay, complex in responsibilities) for as long as it lasts. I'll take the bus maybe forever. Someday soon I would like to just sit on a rocking chair on a porch and people could bring me their babies to rock..not change, not chase after, just rock..and I would feed them too. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 10 Jan 03 - 03:12 PM I've been finding it a big relief looking at pretty young girls lately and NOT feeling like I was still 25. It's a load off my mind, I can tell you. Peter T. - Good stuff!!! I think another way to tell you are aging is to look at a recent picture of William Shatner, preferably clad in a thong-type bathing suit, and think...Gosh! Bill's getting kind of...old! He's a little overweight too. Sort of flabby around the butt. When did that happen??? Where has the time gone? What does this MEAN????!! Then you go to the mirror to check yourself for similar signs... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: mg Date: 10 Jan 03 - 03:17 PM you know..I just reread this and realized I could do this right now. I have taken the classes for foster parenting..I can't take in kids right now..maybe later..but I did sign up for respite care for other foster parents. Something happened to my application and it is in limbo somewhere...without a car I can't go to someone's house, with buses the way they are here...but they could at least bring young babies to me...at least on the weekends...with the heater the way it is I couldn't have toddlers but maybe very young babies..I shall check into it. I could take them to the ocean on nice days. Sounds like a plan. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Bert Date: 10 Jan 03 - 03:42 PM When you find some sheet music from your teens - in an antique store. When you listen to an oldies program on the radio and the songs are all AFTER your time. When you realise that your favorite "Do Who" actors are all dead. I still like looking at the young girls though. And one of the advantages of getting older is that there are lots more girls who are younger than you. |

When you go to shoot pictures of a college frat house, and when walking around the corner surprise a couple of frat boys there who were saying, "...and then we got stoned." Then as they see you they try to cover with "Yeah, those stonings are pretty bad, aren't they?" (Jeez, I ain't that old yet. And I lived in the generation that caused the "war on drugs").

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: maire-aine Date: 10 Jan 03 - 06:22 PM This is only slightly related, but so cute. There is a wonderful, sweet older gentleman (70s at least) that I know, and he observed the little old gents used to get hugs and kisses from pretty young girls because they were thought to be 'harmless'. Since the advent of Viagra, he said, the pretty young girls don't hug the little old gents any more. That's kind of sad, in a way. |

Still, I know people who are considerably older than me. Where do they fit in? Here are some more things to add to the list: 26. Burma-Shave 27. Wind-up metal toy animals that shoot sparks from their mouths 28. Cap guns 29. Red Ryder rifles 30. Alleys & marbles that each look unique 31. Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Ming the Merciless 32. Shaving brushes & soap in a wooden bowl with a lid 33. Steam engines 34. Model T Fords 35. Duesenbergs 36. Cords (the automobiles, I mean) 37. The Super G Constellation (beautiful airliner) 38.

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 10 Jan 03 - 07:56 PM I knew dirt when it was still a rock. My first experience at the "awareness" Spaw talked about was when my daughter was 12 and we were walking through a crowd. As the crowd parted I noticed that the men were looking at her instead of me!

(and I remember all them things from radio & early TV...and Sky King and Red Ryder and all...I used to wear two (cap) guns facing backwards and practice cross-drawing like Red Ryder did. ) and the way I knew I was growing up is when it bagan to bother me that Roy Rogers & Gene Autry, etc, had Ford station wagons, but still had gunfights and chased bad guys on horseback... |

Like these folks gonna belive this really ain't about you?) Okay, so "this friend of mine" went down to the Leesburg Pharmacy to pick up his first perscription for ahhhhh, you know... Viagra. Well, Saturday afternoon is that time when just aboutm everyone who lives in Leesburg is at the pharmacy pickin' up their perscriptions... Doc Lillis had called it in and so everything was supposed to go real smooth. Right? Well, when my "friend" got there on a busy Saturday afternoon, the perscription was not in the "F" bin for "friend" so the 17 year old girl with the tight sweater asked my "friend" what the perscription was for. Hmmmmmm? What's a "friend" to do? Viagra, "friend" whispered to the tight sweatered 17 year old girl... Bad idea, "friend"! "Hey, "friend" is here to pick up his Viagra perscription!" yelled the 17 year old tight sweatered girl to the pharmacist loud enough for it to be heard by the 30 folks waiting on their perscriptions. Then there was this big *hush*. You know the kind.... Then everyone just looked down at the floor like they didn't hear a danged thing... Yeah right!?!?!... Danged, if I see that girl on the street... opps. I mean, if my friend sees that girl on the street he'll.... Bobert p.s.

Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: Amos Date: 11 Jan 03 - 03:00 AM Besides his horse, Hoppy had a few sidekicks of notable fame, the first being George "Gabby" Hayes, who was known by the handle "Windy." Gabby was also John Wayne's sidekick, and he even traveled with Roy Rogers. Also at Hoppy's side was a character named "California," an ex-Keystone Kop of silent films by the name of Andy Clyde. He was like a small kid never making his own judgment calls. Boyd was a businessman as well in that he bought up the rights in the late 30's to the films that he had made under the Hoppy banner. It left him very financially broken at the time, but he hung in and held on to the rights. When he signed a deal with NBC in 1948, Hoppy was paid a very big amount of money for use of the Hoppy movies. He also was paid royalties from the sale of Hoppy endorsed items ranging from milk to saddle chaps. Bill Boyd did well from that day forward, and he laughed all the way to the bank. Topper, his horse, died in 1960, followed by its groom a short time later. Bill Boyd took the events as an omen and decided to hang up his spurs and retire. Boyd spent his later years living quietly in Palm Desert, California, where he was happy to walk the streets unrecognized. Bill once said, "In 1935, I met a man I admired ? I became that man and I loved him. Hoppy was the good side of Bill Boyd." In 1972, William "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd died of a brain tumor.

Moving out of the city during the summer polio season. Duck and Cover drills in school. Coloring books that taught you how to pick out a "Jap" from a crowd of Chinese. Zoot suits When television was black and white and round; you went to your neighbors to see one, and there was only one station, which was on for four hours an evening, and the rest of the time displayed a target that went doooooooooo!

From: Genie Date: 20 Jan 03 - 09:23 PM You remember when oleomargarine only came in white, with a little packet of condensed yellow food coloring inside it that you would press open and 'massage'into the margarine inside the plastic package to make it yellow. For you youngsters, this was because the dairy industry had lobbied to get legislation prohibiting butter's competitor (margarine) from being sold with the yellow color already added. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Top Ways To Tell You Are AGING!!! From: beadie Date: 21 Jan 03 - 04:23 PM In Wisconsin (still America's Dairyland), oleomargarine was outlawed until the early 70's. There was a State Senator from Darlington named Gordon Roseliep who made a huge name for himself every year by arguing passionately about all of the perceived evils of the dreaded white stuff with the little yellow dye packet. A lot of folks made regular "butter runs" (for fun and profit)to Illinois and Minnesota to smuggle cartons of the stuff back into the Wisconsin. Incidently, Roseliep was also the legislator who once argued against allowing pharmacies to display any contraceptive information, advertising, or items where customers (of any age) could see them. He reasoned that if poor folks learned about these immoral things, they would quit having kids and the military would run out of people to draft (the man actually said that on the floor of the Senate in open session). |
