Wife and I stopped at the local Tops  to get some reduced calorie hot chocolate  for the weekend. ( they  are the only local store that carries it ) and what do  I see right next door but a new pot shop that just opened with many, many cars parked out front . 
I say to the wife, we’ll we’re getting coco for the weekend and they are getting pot . We are officially old …

In my opinion...... You win.

Deerage can help identify your age ...removal of teeth at your age can be easy!!!

I'd prefer the hot chocolate too. Yeah I'm old........

Well I have sticker shock at nearly every price tag and now have turned into my parents. It’s not good.

If you have a bird feeder.  And yes I do and therefore I am..

I might be the only person on earth that's never tried it, or at least it seems that way sometimes.  Always had zero interest.

When your buddies start making fun of how old you are and asking whether you need assistance getting into the stand. Of course, then we have the 75 year old who hunts with us making fun of one of the 50-year old guys, so I guess it's truly "you are as old as you feel".

My lab works on aging as a modifier of disease. Graceful aging, we call it. Healthspan, not lifespan. I think an outdoors lifestyle helps immensely with that.

Ive never tried todays weed or edibles, it sounds more like LSD. I never had any interest in that stuff

When you start saying "when I was younger" and scoffing at the young idiots shaking their heads, resisting the urge to hit them with the implement in your hand...like my grandpa used to do.

That and the new aches every morning lol

Wife and I went on a Holland America cruise to Alaska just before Covid .... we kept looking at the majority of passengers and us saying " these people are Old "  , we had to remind ourselves we're in out Mid 60s ! And NOT Spring Chickens !

my son got a kickass nerf gun for Christmas and needless to say dad got it taken away for possibly ambushing the wife with it. Man was she pissed when those rounds came out from behind that Christmas tree and my son yelled grenade and chucked a stuff animal at her. Lol

 

So I guess I have a little youth left in me.

An old timer once told me you know you are old "when it takes you all night, to do what you used to do all night"; and another one told me "when going to bed means going to sleep"!
