Or pushing insurance policies.

This is a rerun

Or you’re reading their obituaries.

Or when you find out that Petula Clark will be 93 years old this year.

It’s when you look at your kids and you say to yourself “OMG look at those old farts”.

Lets not forget the Medicare Advantages policies.

I know I’m getting old when my teen heartthrob, Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island, died FOUR YEARS AGO!

And the only castaway from Gilligan’s Island still alive today is Ginger the Movie Star! God bless her and long life to her.

It’s really bad when the people being idolized in the movies, TV, or even the stage have to push something on the media. It sort of makes the image of what they appear to be on screen, fade and fizzle out with disillusionment.

It makes you wonder if they are desperate for money or exposure!

Or both, and apparently they can’t sleep during the night…

In 1950, the value gold $40.25. per ounce. As of 8:41 AM EST on January 25, 2025, the price of gold was $2,785.02 per ounce. How is the US dollar doing?

Or when Broadway Joe is doing commercials for hearing aids.

I’d like to see a movie starring William DeVane, Joe Namath and Tom Selleck!

(No I wouldn’t)

It’s worse when you start reading their obituaries. And MUCH worse when you suddenly realize it’s been decades since they passed away. (RIP, Dean Martin, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra….and so many more!)

The surest sign that your getting old is when friends stop saying you’re good looking and start saying that you’re looking good.

Pat Boone and the Fonz.

Except for a Super Bowl ad he did once I don’t remember Clint Eastwood ever doing a commercial – which most of his fellow actors his age end up doing. He has said “I get up every morning and I go out. And I don’t let the old man in”. That’s a great inspiration for anyone who thinks their usefulness is behind them.

You mean my “formerly” favorite celebs? Are they really so poor they have to hawk garbage products…car shield, endurance (shame on you Danica), reverse mortgages, and medicare (really Not medicare) part C insurance?
