Some of you will agree with the list below.......................NOT ME!!
25 Signs that you have finally grown up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
1. Your houseplants 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 in 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 %&@# kids next
door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12 Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
13 You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
14 Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
15 You take naps.
16 Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of
one.
17 Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather than settle, your stomach.
18 You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and
pregnancy tests.
19 A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good sh*t."
20 You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
21 "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to
drink that much again."
22 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
23 You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
24 When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them
instead of asking "Oh sh*t, what the heck happened?"
Bonus:
25 You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass.

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Whew you 2 had me worried. But, I managed to not exhibit 7 of the 25 signs shown. I suppose when I join AARP the remaining 18% will kick in...

Wings sound great at any hour of the day!!
But one you missed would be playing tackle football with your friends after watching a game. I know of at least two other people that had to go to the doctor, and I have a dentist appointment for my chipped tooth tomorrow!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I think all of them apply to me! 
But this one hurt the most because I never thought about it before:
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:
Right now I don't have any vacation time. I need to wait most of a year first. I never did drink, and I still like chicken wings at 3 am. Or at least I think I do, I'm never awake to find out.
Has someone been watching me to make this list?
You know you are older when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night.

No one said you HAD to grow up....unfortunately, we do grow older. 
The two don't necessarily have to coincide. I will not go quietly! Might have to get a pair of Flomax mufflers just to make sure!
