Sometimes I can't go to sleep at night because my back aches so badly. Hmm....remembering things I thought were cool like ten years ago....Being with my boyfriend and feeling married when we go to a restaurant with friends for a birthday party.

Other than the bones creeking thing, loosing hair thing, here goes. I've taught gymnastics for about 13 years, and kids that I taugh when they were 3 - 10 are now much older. Seeing some graduate from HS makes me feel old.

Talking to a teenager that did not know who Pink Floyd was, nor had never heard "The Wall"
Enrolling my son in High School!
Certain parental words escape my mouth like..
'because I said so"....

A couple months ago I was trying to sleep but in one of the apartments behind me they were drunk and being loud and just having a good time. I looked at the clock and grumbled somthing about "what the hells the matter with them? dont they realize its midnight?" about 5 seconds later i sat bolt upright in my bed and just shook my head. I couldn't believe i had just said that.

Hearing Guns n Roses on the "classic" rock station doesnt help either.

Yeek, another one. I was talking to my 15 year old cousin the other day...and she has NO IDEA who Journey is.

*hangs head in shame*

Graduating from College :(

having the kid I baby sat be taller than me.

A lot of things.

Realizing that my boots and my bong are older than most of the people here.

Needing new glasses or longer arms.

Knowing the answer to a Three Dog Night trivia question on the radio.

Remembering the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

My piece of shit truck... that I bought new.

I could go on but, it's nap time...

I like the summer interns :D


But what really gets me is this trendy 80's thing that's coming back. YIKES!! Why oh why are the 80's cool all of a sudden??!! They weren't cool, they were anti-cool


EDIT: The 80's were actually scary

I am with ya on that one -- and can also no longer read menus in darkened restaurants. When did my arms shrink?

...and Bad Company, Deep Purple, Grand Funk Railroad, Molly Hatchett, and Steppenwolf -

Looking in the mirror and seeing someone 70 looking back...
Taking my wife on a trip this weekend for our 32 aniversarry.
Having all the teen age girls at church give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and calling me "grandpa". (I love it).
Having 9 grandkids and only 3 are still in school. (3 GGK)
Listening to you "kids" and all your problems...

I'm only 40 and I have severe arthritis. :( Either that or Tendonitis. I have no idea. All I know is that my fingers hurt every morning and are very stiff. :( This getting old...sucks.

Bad back, bad knees, bad ankles, and realizing that not everyone has heard of Led Zeppelin. I'm 20

Being concerned about the stock market
Feeling guilty about being attracted to spring breakers
all of a sudden realizing I have conservative tendencies
relizing that I have friends I have known for 20 years

Only two things make me feel old:
#1: Bad knees...nothing worse than feeling like a truck parked on your knees all day.
#2: Realizing that it was almost 20 years ago that I graduated High School.

Other than that I still feel like a kid.

Seeing the shows that I grew up watching on Nick at Nite. ("Full House", "Roseanne", etc.) I remember watching "Bewitched" on Nick at Nite when I was younger and thinking that it was so old. I can just imagine my kids watching "Full House" on there and thinking the same things I thought about "Bewitched."

Waking up sore in the morning
Having little nap once in awhile
Hanging out with a group of people that makes me the oldest


I'm 20! Now give me my damn discount!

Oh puhleeeeze..... :D

Nick at Nite? How about television before cable tv, before remote controls, before color tv even.

When I was a wee evil queen, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family and a few other moldie oldies from Nick at Nite were on Primetime...

What makes me feel old? Realizing that people who were born after I graduated from high school, are considered adults...

...ouch, i was gonna comment on this post, but this last one made me reconsider.

i need to stop drinking though, its puttin a beating on my body.

I'm thoroughly depressed now, thank you very much.... :(

Looking at high school prom pictures with the baby blue tux and the poofy shirt. :)


Watching your parents get old :(

The gray hair in my moustach, my daughters starting to drive, my acheing back and being old enough to be the playmate of the month's father!

I'm 19 and my 7 and 9 year old cousins were like "what's the moonwalk?" I was like wow, I feel old!

EDIT: and Full House being on Nick at Nite

I agree. I must be getting old because I hate most of the music on there. That's usually a sign.

Or music has just gone to shit.

Or maybe both.
:)

Listening to people my age.

My eyes! I started wearing reading glasses about three years ago. Now I have to get it into my head that I shouldn't leave home without them! I can't go shopping. I can't go to the restaurant. I can't get anything done! I can't read a friggin' label, price tag, menu item or anything without my glasses!

To top it off, most stores have a $2 pair of non-prescription reading glasses for customer use. Why did I pay $300 for two pairs of glasses three years ago?

haha, sorry Mal....didnt quite mean it like that, just your reason was better than what i was thinking. ;)

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THIS THREAD? :(

I saw it kjroh. Every thread was like that for a minute.

Seems to be okay now. Reading that and the resulting headache made me feel old :(

seeing that gibberish? you must be getting old ;)

don't worry i saw it too... just a hiccup on the server.

Not wanting to stand out in a crowd anymore- makes me realize that I am old.

Being annoyed- very annoyed- by the typical Hot Topic crowd and not even wanting to go in there- that makes me feel old.

Being in bed by practically 10:30 every night- that makes me feel old.

Stretch marks make me feel old.

My boobs- they used to be higher than they are.

At least you know what Hot Topic is you young whippersnapper - I haven't even a clue as to what it is... (googling gave me the answer, I would not have guessed at all)

being so out of shape, and not being able to pull all nighters. i get sleepy around 10 or 11.

Seeing family members that I remember being born graduating from college has been a real eye opener.

Realizing that my parents are now at the age that my grandparents were when I was 10.


-- just to name a couple.

For my friend and I, we feel old when we see a mom and daughter and check them both out, realizing many moms look as good as daughters. That and the fact that playboy centerfolds are sometimes younger than us.

My brain is filled with trivia, much of that trivia is movie quotes that come to the surface at any given time, generally when I have the need for that quote. The quote that bobbled up earlier, was Twas totally appropriate for the situation, but the 4 people who were near me, had never heard of Howard Beale, nor the movie Network - I can't quote nuttin' from a recent movie - but apparenly I am queen of the old movies..

A movie from 1976 is an old movie? grrrrrr

After I work the birthday party, getting the blood out of the clown suit makes me feel really old.

I'm not even sure it'd be called a movie. I think they were still "moving pictures" back then.

I drove through my old college campus and saw all these really young kids. Man it hit home hard. My parents are also getting really old and the part that sucks is I am next in line.

It seems the music I listened to when I was young is just starting to be "old school". Shit, I'm only 21.

Oh and the fact that I can now say "THose damn teenagers!"

My wife and I went into a pub recently, bought a drink, grumbled at the high price, frowned at the loud music and went to find a table outside, away from the "noise and the crowds".

We looked at each other and said "We are old!"

And we are (both) only 25... :)
