Signs you're getting old... (Page 2)

My husband is old enough to get a senior discount at some restaurants. Our sons are both out of college and on to careers.

They're getting older, I'm not

You have just discovered the secret of life.  And the secret of longevity.

One definite sign that I am getting older is that I repeat things to people, like I will tell them the same story I just told them!  LOL

My wife met with a local state congress person last week.  He wasn't born when she went off to college.  That made her feel old.  Made me feel old too.  

If you're thinking you're getting old crossing the 3-0 barrier, you're in for a rough ride.

What tips me off that I'm getting old? Well, it sure ain't the maturity level.

My wife tells me I've been "old" since high school. What, the "get off my lawn" signs mean I'm old?

A little while back, I mentioned that I was getting old. She said, "Honey, you're already old."

Okay, I'm getting "older". Older than old... But having a child just short of my 50th birthday keeps me young.

When I turned 30, yeah I felt "old". Living in a college town surrounded by college kids as they come and go made me feel like the character from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" with the line (sic) "I just keep getting older but they stay the same age".

I'm still in the same town and just turned 40. I do what I enjoy doing, in the best shape of my life (considering I didn't exercise before 35, not hard to do) and have good friends which helps me stay "young"

When you used to go to hockey games, the players were much older than you, bigger than you; you were a kid, they were adults.  At a somewhat later stage in your life, you realize, hey, cool, we're the same age!  Next stage: wait, were any of these players even born in my decade?  Current stage: these 'kids' were born when?!  Heaven help me, I feel ancient!

A couple of years ago, some kid at work told me "You're like a 20 year old stuck in a 40-year-old's body!" 

So I put one of these in his cubicle.

Youth?  Tryin' to flex on me?  Don't be silly. 

Thats funny b/c I remember thinking ooooh look at these hot older players when the draft rolled around. Then I was their age (I got a chance!).  Now?  they can be my children. yikes.

I had to get my daughter-in-law to show me how to text on my phone. I still would rather actually talk to someone, however I do LOVE spellchecker. I like it when my phone makes me laugh, but not too hard, I might wet myself......I'm old

Or remember the days before TiVo when you had to choose between to shows...or worse, the days before VCRs when you had to watch a show when it aired or miss it completely.  (note - if you remember days before remote controls and color TVs, you're no longer getting old - you've been there for a whiile)

Thanks. One more reminder.

Turned 29 at my army officer training course this summer... I'm with a bunch of 22-24 year olds with brand new, shiny, unused college diplomas. I feel old here. But with age comes experience (travel, work, relationships, life, understanding the value of family). I embrace it, but I do find the drama exhausting.

When I get back to Tucson, to my friends where I'm the baby of the group, it'll be a whole different perspective.

People here look at my sideways when I mention that I have friends in their 50s.

I had an old moment today. I said "ooops! I forgot to xerox that" and my fifth graders asked (at least 6 of them) "Whats a xerox?"

I remember being the remote control for my dad. "Go change the channel". How old does that make me?

I remember when shows started with the statement "In living color!"

What's a TiVo?
