Attention Signs you're getting old.

Age is just a number. Grow up.

You can't make me!

A lot of foods that I could pack back when I was younger, I no longer can.

Sweets, gravies and sauces, even stuffing all are no goes without paying a big price later.

With the risk of analyzing to death something supposed to be funny, I have a few comments. " KEGs" threw me off, since I thought it was an acronym for something, When you realize it's just kegs, as in beer kegs, you go "Oh, of course!"

Streaking was a fad around 1974, but alas, you never saw it by the next year or so, let alone 1978.

BMW was more a status symbol of the 1980s, people weren't paying much attention in the 70s.

Bell bottoms were big around 1969-70, and were gone by 1972.

As for thinking I knew everything, back in 1978 I knew that I didn't know everything, but I thought that I was SUPPOSED to know everything. So I went around acting like I knew everything. Had I realized that I wasn't expected to know everything, I could have gone around asking questions, and could have saved myself a lot of trouble.

As for 2023, I know my name perfectly well, but I realize that is not who I am.

if you remember filling your automobile from a pump similar to these, you definitely fit the description

You spend more time shaving the little hairs in random places of your head than the actual beard or remains of mane.

1- They just kill you right away.
2- Released as a corpse.
3- No one even notices you exist anymore.
4- Worried about your vital signals.
5- People no longer view you at all.
6- There is nothing left.
7- Things you buy now won't wear out because you finally were able to buy high quality clothing.
8- You can eat supper at 5:30 PM in China.
9- You can live... barely, and you can not care to tell the difference between wearing your glasses or not, or having sex or not.
10- Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size for the clueless younger: they do not care to fight back anymore, and merely label you boomer, or whatever your own generation would stick on their elderlings.
11- You can't remember who sent you this list because you have become perfectly refractary to stupid trivialities.
12- And you notice these are all in Big Print because your prescription glasses are reading it out loud to you.

The price of one full tank of petrol (gasoline) now would have bought a whole new car when I was small.

One pair of reading glasses on top of your head and one on your face.

if you remember wishing for a real Mach 5 from the 1967 anime series Speed Racer. This one was built in 2000, before the live-action movie, for a children's automobile safety campaign

One pair of reading glasses on top of your head and one on your face.

My problem is I take my glasses off and lay them down then can’t see them when I need to put them back on again.

You want to party at home rather than a crowded club or bar.

That was me at 26... well, not exactly but...

You want to party at home rather than a crowded club or bar.

In my case, it would be that I had never been young... except from a few suddent, fieverish bouts in my early twenties.
