Old Guy Traits

Top Ten Old Man Traits I’ve Noticed in Myself Lately (I am becoming my grandfather) 1. Reheating yesterday’s coffee, because who needs “fresh” when “microwaved” builds character? 2. Groaning when I stand up, not because I’m in pain, but because it’s tradition. 3. Complaining about gas prices, even though I still remember paying $1.19 per gallon like it was yesterday. 4. Suddenly caring deeply about weather forecasts, and then sharing them with anyone who will listen. 5. Keeping a flashlight in every room, you never know when there might be a blackout or you just want to feel prepared for something. 6. Saying “They don’t make ‘em like they used to”, about everything, from cars to toasters to music. 7. Giving unsolicited life advice, because I’ve “seen some things” and you need to hear it. 8. Saving random plastic containers, because they’re “perfectly good” and will definitely come in handy someday. 9. Falling asleep during movies, especially if I insisted on watching it in the first place. 10. Checking the thermostat obsessively, and muttering, “Who touched this?!” like it’s Fort Knox.

@perrone1 Wait a minute here Tony.....you keep a gazelle in your basement??? I'm calling the SPCA!

Please don't. They've already had too many calls on me. There was the gorilla incident and they'll never forget the baboons. It took them a week to gather them all.
