I really started feeling old after reading these.

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 a.m is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next
door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16 You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of
one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms
and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good shit."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going
to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real
work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them
instead of asking "Oh shit what the hell happened?"

Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass.

Yeah, I'm with Dyna on that one. Many of them haven't applied to me yet, and a bunch have, but this one...


24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

I have to say, applies to everyone I know at school right now....sad to say I don't think it should be on this list

Well people, December I reach the age of 40 so officially I become a dirty old man.

I've made it know that if anyone sends me a zimmer frame for my birthday they are going to have it inserted up their arse.

I'm not 40--yet but not sure what a zimmer frame--so i'm not as old as the dough boy--hahahahahaah

a question when you ask someone in their teens they always say they are almost the next age--ask someone in their 20's and they are proud of their age--then somewhere in the late 30's to 50's or so people start saying a different age--then on to the 70's and 80's and beyond and they are happy to tell you their age--so what is it about our middle years that offend us?

Another reason I feel older than I am: I hang out with a lot of older ppl...
