Thirteen Things That Mark Me as an Old Man

Baby Boomer Going Like Sixty Posted on by

It’s started. All the little things that mark an old man.

Shaving the Hair Out of Your Nose

  • hair is growing out the top of my nose – no, not nostrils, on the end. I’ve been trimming ear and nose hair for a long time. Sometimes I pluck, sometimes I use an electric trimmer. I would never let anyone pluck my nose hair.

Salvador Dali Signature

  • my right hand is shaky. When I pick up a forkful of Apple Pie my hand visibly shakes. I haven’t missed my mouth yet, but it’s coming. Healthy young people’s hands don’t shake.

Head Laying in the Gutter

  • I just noticed today that I have that almost imperceptible and uncontrollable head shake that old people have.

  1. It sucks getting older. Though I have been trying to stop the process. I took the ladies favorite way of stopping aging. They quit counting at thirtynine, I decided why wait that long, I quit counting at 29 abd holding! 😉

  3. @theScoundrel: ya see? here’s the deal – you can stop counting, or even think you are younger, but your body betrays you. How can a shakey fart with hair on his nose still think he is 30?

    @Kimberly: well good luck with that bikini wax there kiddo.

  4. The minute I had to get bifocals I knew I was in trouble with the 29 deal. But I am still in good enough condition not many can call me on the age thing. Though the last couple of years things have been going down hill more quickly. I know spend more time on the Internet than I do chasing women. That is the killer sign of aging. 😉

  6. What a disgusting sick thing to do, to post that picture of some poor soul who was freaking BEHEADED. you are demented.
