It could be worse. You could go on TalkBass and find that everyone is much younger.
In the morning when you wake up, there's only one particular part of you that ISN'T stiff 
You say b5 and everyone else says #11.
They ask you to play walking lines and you ask for sheet music with figured bass.
You still read off paper. No electronic gizmos in sight.
Your load in dolley hooks to a hover around.
You have special prescription glasses for sight reading.
Your gig rig is a class D, a 1x10 and an extension cord.

I actually saw one of my childhood toys in a museum last year.
When you go to bed when you used to be starting your 1st set, and get up to go fishing (and/or pee) about when you used to get home. 
When the SVT stays at home and you audition for a dream gig with a 25 watt Rumble.
When your elementary aged kid's schoolmates think you are her grandfather. And your kid laughs about it.
Ha! My grandmother signed me up for AARP when I was in my early 20's for some reason only known to her. My whole family has laughed about that for 25 years now, pretty soon I'll be old enough to actually use it thanks Grams!
As you go through CL music instrument ads, you see a listing for a piece of gear that you used to have, or may still possess(and actually use). Reading the discription, you come across "I don't know anything about this, it belonged to my dad/uncle/grandpa who just recently passed away".
I started getting the AARP mailings at age 50, and discarded them without a second thought for years. Then one day I noticed the benefits...mostly 10-15% discounts at a handful of restaurants I frequent. And that's off the total check...not just my meal. When I took the family & grandkids to San Diego a few months ago, that AARP card saved me over $60 during that weekend alone. (Membership is only $16 or so per year.) 
Geez...I can relate to lot of these post which is scary.
You know you are getting old when you start looking for a seven pound hollow body bass cause that P bass is now hurting your back.

Some of us are kinda furry and have been doing that for a while. I also started going bald at 19 years old. It's a descending hairline.
Our high school class has a page on FB.
Almost all of the announcements on there are of deaths.
We're not that old, but I guess we don't really do anything except have a reunion every 5 years & die.

Do you plan on going to the next one now that you are armed with this information?
