You know you're old when...

72 yr old here. I wish losing a name every now and then was all I forgot. I have been known to stand up from my chair and by the time I'm unbent and done creaking I've completely lost what I was standing up for.

Yes, I forget a variety of things, which is why I write down as much as possible while I still remember it. Such is life.

For those of us who have grown old, we know it is an honor.

Body's 75 but the brain is 18 (except for the memory part). Remember, you have to grow old (if you're lucky), you don't have to grow up. I just wish my body would obey my mind.

Now that I`ve gotten older, everything is finally starting to click for me.
My knees, my back, my neck, EVERYTHING

It certainly beats the alternative.

My neck has been cracking a lot lately. Like cracking knuckles, except in my neck. Might need to get that checked out.
