1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
They all died, but we do have a beautiful bouquet of roses on the table. Can
you smoke roses?
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
I stopped the twin bed thing nearly 35 years ago.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
I have never had more than a couple of bottles of beer in the fridge, lots
more food.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
No, 6 AM is when I get off work, I go to bed about 10 AM.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
I so seldom use an elevator I don't have a clue as to what is heard in them.
Stairs are quicker, and quieter.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
I have lived in tornado country most of my life, of course I watch the
Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
True.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
True.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
They don't? (Haven't owned a suit in 30 years, same for ties.
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door
won't turn down the stereos
No, I just explain to them that I would appreciate it if they would turn it
down. They do, must be the way I express myself to they.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
"Older"? "Older relatives"? What are those?
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
Never did.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
My motorcycle insurance was so low that I only had to work a few hours a year
to pay for it. My car insurance takes less than a day of work to pay for a
year. (No accidents in nearly 40 years, only one speeding ticket ever, about
20 years ago. Parking tickets, on the other hand...)
14.You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
Close, we feed the cat real cat food, and some of our food.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
No, it does not make my back hurt.
16. You take naps.
I used to take naps when I was a kid, haven't since then.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather
than settle, your stomach.
I hate chicken wings.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and
pregnancy tests.
I go to the drug store for a coke and/or a magazine, maybe a newspaper.
20. A £4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
I hate wine.
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
No, I eat supper. (I do get home shortly after 6 AM, after all.)
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to
drink that much again."
The last 25 years or so I have stuck to a couple of bottles of beer a week,
if I think about it, if I remembered to buy some, if I ran out of coffee.
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work!
Only about 2% of my time in front of a computer is work related, the rest is
play time.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
I barely drink at all, haven't been in a bar to drink in (umm) 12 years or
so.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead
of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"
Most of my friends are of an age that getting preggers is very unlikely, most
of them are grandparents, or old enough to be grandparents.
Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't

Looks to me like a number of them don't apply to me. That's great, i swore
about 4 decades ago that I would never grow up, so far I have kept to my
promise. If I keep it up for another few decades I will be doing as good as
my grandfathers, neither of whom grew up.

True.
Only for about three years since 1961. The rest I was teaching, in the army
or, for the vast majority, self-employed
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
They don't? (Haven't owned a suit in 30 years, same for ties.
1973 was the last time I wore a tie, a clip on since I was a cop. I didn't
think I'd owned one since then until finding one in the back of a closet a
few years ago.
I stopped wearing jeans when I discovered BDU's during an EMT class a year
or so ago.
But jeans and a sweater have simply meant winter around here to me. BDU's
and a T-shirt the rest of the time.
10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next

No, I just explain to them that I would appreciate it if they would

My neighbors are Mexican, so the kids always came over and asked before a
party.
But now the kids have kids.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
"Older"? "Older relatives"? What are those?
I work with Gleaners and at 65 am one of the kids. The 85 year olds all talk
about helping the old people, most of whom are younger than them.

I used to take naps when I was a kid, haven't since then.
Always have. The trick is short naps.

Most of my friends are of an age that getting preggers is very

We know what happened, how is the big question.

I never thought about it but friends still ask me to help pick out gifts for
the four to twelve year old crowd and the littel kids really like me.

I had a suit, when I was a kid. It was for wearing to church.
Since I became an atheist, more years ago than I care to remember, I couldn't

The wife says I have got to have one for her sister's gold wedding anniversary
party. I didn't get one for ours, I am pretty surer that I can forget, until

Never had the problem. Always lived too far out of town.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
"Older"? "Older relatives"? What are those?
Actually, with my lack of a sense of humor, *everybody* feels uncomfortable
telling any sort of joke, around me.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
Never did.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
My motorcycle insurance was so low that I only had to work a few hours a year

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I hate chicken wings.
At 3am, I hate everything.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and
pregnancy tests.
I go to the drug store for a coke and/or a magazine, maybe a newspaper.
What, exactly, is a "drug store"?
20. A £4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
I hate wine.
At four quid a bottle, it had better be "pretty good stuff".
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
No, I eat supper. (I do get home shortly after 6 AM, after all.)
I DO NOT eat "breakfast food"!
Or breakfast, for that matter.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to

The last 25 years or so I have stuck to a couple of bottles of beer a week,

Only about 2% of my time in front of a computer is work related, the rest is
play time.
90% of the time that I spend in front of my computer, I am doing just what I am

I drink at home because I won't pay taxi fares.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead
of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"
Most of my friends are of an age that getting preggers is very unlikely, most

Actually, most of our friends are so old, that if one of then said she was
pregnant, my first question would be, "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"

down. They do, must be the way I express myself to they.
Never had the problem. Always lived too far out of town.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
"Older"? "Older relatives"? What are those?
Actually, with my lack of a sense of humor, *everybody* feels uncomfortable
telling any sort of joke, around me.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
Never did.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
My motorcycle insurance was so low that I only had to work a few hours a
year
to pay for it. My car insurance takes less than a day of work to pay for a
year. (No accidents in nearly 40 years, only one speeding ticket ever,
about 20 years ago. Parking tickets, on the other hand...)
14.You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
Close, we feed the cat real cat food, and some of our food.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
No, it does not make my back hurt.
It's my neck that suffers.
16. You take naps.
I used to take naps when I was a kid, haven't since then.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
The wife don't approve of me, dating. (:-)
And you dare say that you lack a sense of humor.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather
than settle, your stomach.
I hate chicken wings.
At 3am, I hate everything.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and
pregnancy tests.
I go to the drug store for a coke and/or a magazine, maybe a newspaper.
What, exactly, is a "drug store"?
Well, it used to be a place where you could sit down and get a
chocolate-cherry coke mixed up, and they had dirty magazines, now they seem
to have morphed into a mini grocery store with over-priced stuff.
20. A £4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
I hate wine.
At four quid a bottle, it had better be "pretty good stuff".
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
No, I eat supper. (I do get home shortly after 6 AM, after all.)
I DO NOT eat "breakfast food"!
Or breakfast, for that matter.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to
drink that much again."
The last 25 years or so I have stuck to a couple of bottles of beer a week,
if I think about it, if I remembered to buy some, if I ran out of coffee.
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work!
Only about 2% of my time in front of a computer is work related, the rest
is play time.
90% of the time that I spend in front of my computer, I am doing just what I
am doing now. (:-)
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
I barely drink at all, haven't been in a bar to drink in (umm) 12 years or
so.
I drink at home because I won't pay taxi fares.
And you dare try to claim to have no sense of humor.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them
instead of asking "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"
Most of my friends are of an age that getting preggers is very unlikely,
most of them are grandparents, or old enough to be grandparents.
Actually, most of our friends are so old, that if one of then said she was
pregnant, my first question would be, "Oh S*$# what the hell happened?"
Excellent point. And you dare try to claim you have no sense of humor.
Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't
apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old Butt.
Looks to me like a number of them don't apply to me. That's great, i swore
about 4 decades ago that I would never grow up, so far I have kept to my
promise. If I keep it up for another few decades I will be doing as good as
my grandfathers, neither of whom grew up.
Yep: Long live Peter Pan.
Screw Peter Pan, long live Wendy.
