You know when your getting old when..

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

What has happened to you that made you feel like your not as young and spry as you used to be?

Had a haircut recently and the lady cutting my hair asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed. I was startled for a moment as I never knew eyebrows could get into a condition where they needed trimming??

I also recently turned down an offer of sex in favour of a quiet night in with tea and Netflix
