    Antique is better than new, more solidly built. Hopefully you're not qualified for the antique stamp yet Capt?

    I can't exactly relate to the whole old experience just yet, though I do feel as though the older I get, time goes by quicker and quick, which makes me feel old :p. Anyway, here are some additions . .
    You know you're getting old when:

    ~Your ears are hairier than your head

    ~You sing along with the elevator music

    ~People call at 9 pm. And ask, "Did I wake you?"

    ~You drink at home to save money before going to a bar

    ~You discover the meaning of life but forgot to write it down

    ~Most of your sentences begin with, "When I was your age..."

    ~Children ask you, "What did people do before electricity?" And you can't remember

    ~You can't finish a conversation, because you don't remember what you were talking about

    ~You finally find something you've been looking for for ages but can't remember why you wanted it

    My goodness Redrose
    That is quite a list there - though I can actually
    imagine that one should feel old under those circumstances, or rather realize that the years are marching on relentlessly.

    I always think that I am young and reality always sets in when my body tells me in its own inimitable way that age brought its friends along.

    You know that you are getting old when you are asked to slow down by your Doctor instead of the police.

    You know your getting older when it takes longer to rest than it took to get tired.

    You know that your getting older when you realize that caution is the only thing that you care to exercise.

    You know you are getting old when:

    - the young peoples' music sounds like unorganized noise.

    - the spoiled brat next-door suddenly offers you his seat on the bus.
