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. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog/cat Science Diet instead of
McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You 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. If you're a girl, 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. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate
her instead of asking "Oh S*$..! What Happened!?!?!?!

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 butt.
when you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know
they'll enjoy it & do the same

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
No houseplants.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
Twin bed, queen sized bed, kitchen table, it's all good.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
Never have kept beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
Get up at 6am?!?! In the morning?!?! Not me.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
The still don't play the music I like in the elevator, so I am good.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.
Don't even know what channel it is.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and
"break up".
Friends?!?!

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
My last vacation was a lot longer than 130 days...

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
Never did.

10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@.. kids
next door won't turn down the stereo.
I still ask them to turn it down, then follow up by dousing them in lighter fluid and asking again nicely while holding an open flame if they didn't hod it down after.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around
you.
All of my "older relatives" have never grown up.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
Never did know, I don't eat there the food makes me sick. Del Taco rocks though. THe closer one closes at 11 pm, the other one I go to is 2am.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
Nope, I have no payments and my insurance goes up.

14. You feed your dog/cat Science Diet instead of
McDonald's leftovers.
No pets, they, like plants, would just wither away and die. The difference is that they would make a mess of the carpet.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
When I bought a couch I chose one that was comfortable to lay on. It's more comfortable than my bed.

16. You take naps from noon to 6 PM
No naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
Don't take dates to movies. It's no good unless you are just hanging out and then it's not a date.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely
upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
Chicken wings should only be eaten between 7am and 6am... as I will usualy be asleep between 6am and 7am and eating while sleeping is messy.

19. If you're a girl, you go to the drug store for ibuprofen
and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
Not a girl.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
Trader Joe's, Two Buck Chuck. ;)

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
Breakfast food? You mean like cold pizza, leftover steak and such?
Rice Crispys... it's what's for dinner.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to..." replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."
I have never said "I'm never going to drink that much again." while refering to alcohol.

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
Not since I found G|A?

24. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate
her instead of asking "Oh S*$..! What Happened!?!?!?!
Actualy I say "Well, it's definately too late to run now, good luck man, see you in 18".

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 butt.
when you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends 'cause you know
they'll enjoy it & do the same
I was hard pressed to find one that does apply.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around
