I have learned the difference between “your” and “you’re”.
For me, it’s correcting people that.
I guess I’m still growing as a person
You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
It’s replaced with a desire to help people be better.

Agreed. Matter of fact, I usually direct the offending party to one of two, if not both, sites.

Always a good time.
I agree actually, I was only kidding because of the subject of the post.
I find it takes much, much longer to heal from injury. That’s the main downside I’ve experienced. When I say longer - when about 8 yo I broke my arm, it took 5-6 weeks to heal, maybe 10 to really heal, stop swelling ever and feel exactly like the other. When about 45 I broke my finger and it took 2 years to fully heal and feel like the rest of them.
But it also takes longer to get mad, I’m less irritable, more perspective I guess. Easier to feel happy/satisfied, too, it’s closer to the surface now.
You can’t stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.
I don’t heal as fast anymore. Cuts and scrapes turn into scars easier.

My what?
TURN UP YOUR HEARING AIDS OLD TIMER
Your getting older. They are asking the abstract noun representing your aging what some signs are. I don’t think your getting older is going to be able to answer, though, and I doubt it has much knowledge of signs.
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.

and my own phone number, nothing else.This is my ringtone.
Is it not normal? This describes me perfectly and I’m not even 30 yet. (Well in a few months I won’t be able to say that anymore, but still)
definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don’t fall down, you “have a fall”.
You mix up your and you’re.
My tolerance for incorrect use of your / you’re gets lower.
It’s funny, because my tolerance of people correcting other people’s grammar or spelling gets lower.

As does mine. But mixing it up gets higher 😉
The music I grew up with is “classic” and the “hits of yesterday” that I don’t recognise on the radio is “young people’s music”.
Balls hang a little lower.
Botox helps with the wrinkles
Balltox
Hello caller, you’re on Balltalk!
Every damn time I scratch my knee, the nuts get in the way. It’s horrible.
I’m… confused.
Pretty simple. My nuts are giant, hang low, and have their own sentience. They’re also easily entertained by interfering with anything they can.
Right now, they’re the ones typing this, two letters at a time ahahahahahahahahah! Testicle power!
“Do you nuts hang low, do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?”
Oh dear…

The amount of candles on you’re birthday cake are so numerous that the fire department comes out.
You look at your weekly pill container to know what day of the week it is.
