    1) When you buy a dash mounted phone holder and think its a cool idea.
    2) When black socks with tennies dont do it for you.
    3) If you think Sigourney Weaver is hot.
    4) When you wear your favorite band shirts and 20 sumthings say "huh"?
    5) Infomercials are getting pretty damn convincing.
    6) That Ancient Aliens guy starts making real sense.
    7) You’ve gotten upset over a recycling-related issue.
    8. You’ve had to google the definition of internet slang.
    9) You grunt when you sit down and get up.
    10) You turn out the lights not for nookie.... for economic reasons.
    11) You still say nookie.
    12) You're proud of your lawn mower.
    13) Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “break up.”
    14) A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good sh!t.”

    and 15) When all jumps are too lippy :)

    I must be REAL old.

    16) Riding a fire road is enough of a thrill.
    17) You'd prefer not to get your butt wet while sailing.
    18) You don't need tapered lines on your boat even though they are lighter than the more comfortable ones.

    16 and 17 really get to me. I used to love kayaking at night in December hooping for lobster. One day, I woke up and said "it's too cold to go out". Never been out at night since.

    When the high school girls Mom's are hotter than the students.
    When your co-workers say you remind them of their dad. #-o
