    I know I'm old because I refer to myself as a musician while younger others who make music refer to themselves as producers.

    You know you're getting older when you gaze at the mirror and see someone who looks a lot like you but somehow isn't quite what you expect to see looking back.

    You know that you are old, when your first mobile phone looked

    Not the same but in this line, even more for people who play an instrument, things have changed indeed. Imagine on, say, YT vid:
    Old (40+) person: "Hello people, I'm a guitar player"
    Young person: "Hello beautiful people, I'm an artist, composer, producer and guitar player"

    And while at it, what's with the "beautiful"? I wouldn't say I'm ugly but neither am beautiful.
    Can't I watch the vid then? I'm not welcome in the channel? For chrissake...
    That's my phone. What do you mean by "first"?

    There are various signs that indicate one is getting older, including physical changes such as wrinkles, graying hair, and decreased energy levels, as well as changes in memory and mental function. Additionally, some people may experience a decline in their physical abilities, such as decreased strength and flexibility. However, it's important to remember that everyone ages differently and at their own pace, and aging is a natural part of life.

    You know you're getting old when:

    • You start having more conversations with your doctor than your friends.
    • You go to bed at 9 PM because it's "late."
    • You refer to your teenage children as "kids" and wonder where the time went.
    • You start getting excited about early bird specials and senior discounts.
    • You use more pronunciation and translation apps than social media apps.
    Remember, growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional!

    Didn't mean to brag, but I'm the perfect example :disco:
    In fact I have the best of the two worlds: the rusty body of an old-timer and the childish character of a youngster

    Wait a min, I think it was not that... ok, make it the perfect bad example.... screw it, where's the delete button.. I think is th[click]
     
  12. I try to imagine the future: all the supercool role models of the present like influencers, youtubers, tiktokers, social media managers, etc. will be considered boomers by later generations: this is because reality in the future will be different and teenagers will be focused on something else. The wheel never stops spinning: everything considered new today will become old tomorrow.
    My trick has always been to be a senior from the beginning: no one will accuse me one day of being decadent

    Age is just a state of mind. The problem is getting your body to agree with that.:guru:

    When you had one of the first transistor radios in Straya and people would stop you in the street with utter disbelief at how there was music coming from your top pocket. 12inch monochrome state of the art TV's in the living room ... that's another story.
     
  15. I've always thought that probably when the elderly look at themselves in the mirror, they don't see their advanced age.
    Then, I found these pics:

    You know you're getting old when stuffing glycerine up your ass to poop is a sexual kink AND a necessity.
