Originally from http://www.missico.com/. This topic was on my mind since last month, when I was reminded of the 15th anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind. Crazy!

Hey, for all you old farts, meaning at least 3-5 year older than me, lay off the geezer talk- yes, we all know time starts passing faster and these moments will only keep happening over and over again… like our parents haven’t been telling us that for years- but seriously, no matter how cliche and predictable it is, is it not amazing when you reach the milestones of age? Most of my friends are around the old ‘dirty 30′ (as Scotto likes to put it)- and here’s a list that probably makes sense to most of us.
25 Signs That, Sadly, Show 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.

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.

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 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 and can’t find one to save Your sorry old ass.
