So how long did it take before you realized the remote wasn't broke?

Peter has finally snapped his synapses. Quick, get the straitjacket.

Hmm, maybe it's not a problem with a bluring of technologies. Maybe there was a momentary glitch in the matrix.

My three year old handed me an unfolded map the other day and told me to "shut it down Dad!" I don't think he'l have any trouble growing up with technology!

I once sat and complained about how my kids are always snatching up my car keys and how I can never find something when I need it for 15 minutes straight. And got even more annoyed when they sat and laughed at me.

......and it was then that I realized the keys were in my hand.

The funny thing is just the other day I was entering my house, arms loaded to the heavens and thought, "Damn, it'd be nice if I could just click my key remote and unlock this door!"

Yep, done that myself. Of course, why the house blinked and beeped at me, I don't know!

Demon infestation, plain and simple. Head down to the local tavern and hire a party of adventurers to come clear the place. That's your best bet.

DangerDwarf · Post by **DangerDwarf** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 3:55 am

My "old" moments usually come when I head upstairs to the bathroom to get some tylenol, allergy medicine, stomach pill, whatever and when I get there I stand there for a moment thinking:

OK...I'm here for a reason....I don't have to pee....Oh! Gotta brush my teeth! (Why that, I don't know, but it is ALWAYS my answer) I brush an extra 2-4 times a day due to that.

Lurker · Post by **Lurker** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 12:47 pm

I'm at the other end of the problem. I've alway driven an OLD truck or jeep, no push button thingy ma jig. I go to get something out of my wife's car & take 5 min & set off the alarm twice.... She, of course, rolls her eyes & says something about suprised they let me go to combat as much as I do... Talk about hurt machismo!

My Dad says you old when you go to the bathroom at 6 in the morning but wake up at 7.

At work we have electronic badges that we use to open the electronic locks on the doors. I can't tell you how many times I've stood at the front door to my apartment, badge in hand, wondering where the badge reader was.

I find myself trying to rewind stuff. Thanks to the DVR. I want to rewaind radio all the time.

Today I put the corn flakes in the plate, picked the chocolate (powder, I like to use that instead of sugar), opened it and got milk, then instead of putting the milk in the plate all over the flakes, I put it inside the chocolate pot, just a few drops before I realized what I was doing.

I laughed at my own stupidity after that. I guess I am also old now.

Heh, well I'm old but don't feel it yet. I can still kick my nephew's ass in tennis and he's half my age. I use a power mower, but not propelled. My fencing skills are sharp, but not at competition level. I can still juggle a bowling ball, basketball and tennis ball.

But most importantly, all my appendages still work!
