This is a light-hearted forum in which you are invited to answer the question, "You know you've reached halftime in your life when..."
To get things started, here are some that appeared April 20 in the News & Observer:
You know it;'s halftime when...
...the barber doesn’t ask if you want any off the top;
...you call Ibuprofen Vitamin I;
...you consider the 10 o’clock news the late news.
...getting up only once at night to use the bathroom is a record for the month
...you decide whether to go to a class reunion not by how many folks will come, but by how many folks are still alive
...you see someone doing something you consider immature, then realize it’s the same thing you used to call fun
...bedtime is a single digit number
...you meet your student’s parents and they’re younger than you
...you had a really good one but can’t remember it.
You know it's half-time
...when the sportscasters come back from a commercial just long enough to announce that they'll be right back (after yet another break!)
