You know your old when... in the hospital you want some particular visitors and tell others you don't have the time to waste on them

Happy 4G Anniversaty Cusser! That’s 4G LTE, tastes great, less filling.
You know your old when 35 years of marriage…was some time ago.
For my high tech Silicon Valley friends…you only get to count the first spouse for years, not the total of all spouses. It’s a thing.

We were looking at wedding photos a while back. No resemblance to what we see now in the mirror 39 years later! 
She looks just like her Mom and I just look like a fat old fart!

Apparently back in 1985 Mrs. Cusser thought I was high tech because I owned a telephone answering machine and a VCR.
Want to guess how many operational VCRs I still have? Maybe that we have two operational turntables and two nice cassette recorders, and cassette players in my 2 VWs and 1988 Mazda truck could be a clue.....

That’s all good sounding but did you have the clock set on the VCR or is it still flashing 1200 ? Congratulations tempus fugit |

The clocks on them work fine, and I did know how to record programs correctly, never had the "for idiots" VCR +.
Funny story, Cusser's mom was given a new VCR from my brother, only wanted to tape one weekly show. But the VCR kept taping "Caroline in the City" instead. I told her she had the special "Caroline in the City" model and she exchanged it at Best Buy, and same happened. I went over there, and even though she told me she had set up the channels, she had not, so it always defaulted to Channel 3 (where "Caroline in the City" was), as there was no way to choose a recording channel. So my mom had lied about setting up the channels.

Wake up every two hours to Pee.
Have to pull my pants completely down, so I don't pee on them.
Greasy(Good) Food gives me the shits.
One Beer is good.

You also know you're old when your 3G TracFone will go off service in mid-February and you need to get a 4G phone. I think I will try this 4G flip phone for $20. And I'll pretend that I know what a "G" is.....

That BS (4G requirement) has been kicked to the curb multiple times in the last few years. I fully expect that my 6 year old Samsung Convoy flip phone, bought at a yard sale for one dollar, will still be working a year from now.
If not, I'll be looking for that $20 4G.
Not sure if I qualify as old yet, but I am definitely an analog man in a digital world.

It depends.
When you get really old like me, you don’t even remember your pants. Problem solved!

Joe Walsh quote. Nicely done!
It seems that my latest aging trick is, forgetting to zip my fly once in a while, after using the facilities.
Kinda embarrassing walking around the office spaces at work, and realizing what I have forgotten to do!

You know your old when you leave little notes on your desk at home AND the kitchen counter, AND leave them in magic marker so you will see them...

Leaving that Johnson door open may in fact be a subconscious effort to gain attention. Think on that, Funk 49 😀 |
