m00n Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Twenty-five signs you've 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 damn 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 payments go up. 14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds 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 would severely upset, rather than settle, 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 no longer 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!!!

m00n Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, number 5 got me to snort out loud. Dunno why, but kinda got me a giggling. 5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 hahaha that is hilarious and it seems quite true! I wonder what age it will be when that all generally starts becoming true. I figure I have at the very least, 10 years to go. Please God let it be more!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I hear some great tunes in the grocery stores and not just the musak version. Too many of those hold true for me. I didn't need to read that list. Hard enough that my son turned 21 today. Seems like just yesterday........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times I want them to hurry and get a few years older for daycare cost reason, but then I think to myself, it just makes it that much sooner that they will be gone.

Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. No problem here, I even killed the plastic ones....After I smoked the rest..the silk ones were rather harsh. 2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. Yeah, the floor is quite fine. 3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. Hey, I thought beer WAS FOOD. 4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed. Time is relative,It's 6AM somewhere 5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator. so? I like to keep my Walkman close at hand. 6. You watch the Weather Channel. SO? I've actually recorded hours of it....So I can just pick and choose my day. 7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up. Why is this my problem? 8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. I'm working my way back up... 9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up." Sweats and a T-shirt really work now 10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo. ****-em they didn't invite me....and they ran over my cat. 11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you. They figure that I no longer "get it"....Hmmmm maybe they're right 12.You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. So? I can nuke my own food. 13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up. And this is strange...HOW? 14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers. No Dog, and my felines prefer the finest of wires and cordage. 15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt. I bought a really great couch. Priorities! 16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. I take naps whenever! 17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. Date? Date? isn't that one of those funny fruits that is related to a prune? 18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach. My stomach would only be upset if it wasn't invited to the wing fest. 19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests. THANK GOD! 20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff." 21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. This is WRONG! Last time I looked, food didn't have any time of day expiration stickers...I'm planning on roast, mashed potatoes and green beans for breakfast... 22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again." Lightweight! 23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. Hahahahahhaha! 24. You no longer drink at home to save money before going to a bar. 25.

Klipschfoot Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 ---------------- 6. You watch the Weather Channel. ---------------- http://www.monkeycube.com/article-5 or Alexandra Steele Sharon Resultan C'mon. Admit it. Okay, so the weather channel also does not force you to take any sides, scare you, or segway into discussions about things you'd rather not talk about. Is that so immature? I think not.
