You know you're old when ....

[jbarley]

When you have to get up 3-4 times a night to take a whizzz!
Even worse is the fact that you need to sit because of the slow weak flow.

Oh and I forgot to mention, this takes place on a 5" raised toilet seat, cause once I sit down I've barely the strength to get back up.

Hmm... I sat on one of those in some kinfolk's house for the first time one evening, not realizing it until I was just about seated. Almost got my undies wet as I really had to go and was still pulling my panties down as I hit the seat and my motor memory accordingly kicked in to say "OK you're there, let it rip..." Narrow escape! Not necessarily looking forward to retraining myself one of these days.

I must not be as old as I thought I was considering I'm actually relating this tale in a public place.

Pfft on those 5-1/4" diskettes. I have a box of 8" Verbatim diskettes. And a few are still virgin. Heh: The 40-Year Old 8" Virgin.

Pfft on those 8” diskettes. I cut me eye teeth on punch paper tape. I could even read it manually when I was a young whipper-snapper.

Heck, I was an IBM 029 programming expert. Paper tape was a step up from punched cards.
