[Eric the Red]

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next

door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM!

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of

one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM now severely upsets,

rather than settles, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms

and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going

to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. 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.

Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know

they'll

enjoy it & do the same.

That's pretty scary stuff, about 85% of those definitely apply to me.

Now I get to start the day all depressed and old.

 

Thanks a lot ETR.

Crap.

I just can't recover as fast as I used to. This sucks.

Thanks a lot ETR.

*sigh*... I agree. Now my joints hurt, my heartburn is acting up, and I can't stop thinking how I forgot to drink prune juice this morning.

Holy crap, I'm going to a comedy club with my mother and her husband tonight. Freaky
