What made you feel old today?

[flyingdumbo127]

Realizing that I could be the mother of several therapists here.

Only we oldsters will understand this one.

Oh...at least you didn't run in the opposite direction...my wife does that with wild boys or Bohemian Rhapsody... I began to beat on the shelves or boxes or even ask if folks are hearing that muse

I thought my husband was going to drop to his knees and cry when we were in a grocery store several years ago and he realized that the instrumental only music being played over the p.a. system was a Ramones song

Congratulations post of the day

Sorry no cash rewards but if mirth and laughter increases your life span... I just got another year

Playing tourist today, I saw this sign in a gift shop:

At my age,
"GETTING LUCKY"
means walking into a
room and remembering
what I came in for.

That's where I am in life

Today at church I noticed a kid my husband and I have always rather fondly called "the (insert last name here) boy" was at church with his mom. He's bald.

It gets worse. When I mentioned my shock to DH, he said "you pointed that out last year when he came to visit!"

whenever I hear 'we will rock you' I can literally feel my body shake b/c it came out my jr. year in highschool and was adopted as a means to rev up our sports teams so every rally, every game someone would start the stomp, stomp, clap, stomp, stomp, clap until the bleachers were shaking with everyone joining in and singing 'we will, we will ROCK YOU' (no wonder I have hearing issues).

Noooooooooooooooo. That can't be. The 90s were only like ten years ago! Grunge music oldies. My Xennial mind cannot wrap around that.

No, the 80's were like 10 years ago - it's still the 90's, right? Right?

Found out people ‘shave’ down a NEW tire to match their other 3 semi-worn tires when they have all wheel drive cars.

If you would’ve told my parents to do that? Unconscionable. Would’ve been incomprehensible because there would be no way for them to make sense of wasting the first half of a tire’s life on purpose. And I’d agree. So I’m feeling old today. A type of tech shock.

Realizing that I could be the mother of several therapists here.

Recognizing that I could be the grandmother of all my students- even my TAs.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

And a lovely extra grandma you are dear Lee

Not knowing what the heck a 6-7 trend is.

My full grown adult co worker responding to me mentioned a TV show - "oh, yeah, my mom used to watch that show" and me doing the math and realizing that I am probably much older then his mom.

Shopping DVC and determining how old I would be when the contract expires.....

Training people at my job that are 15 years younger than my daughter

The knee doctor asking me if my knee always makes that pop when it bends...I thought that was normal

Decided to get my brother's birthday card while out doing errands today. Realized he turns 50 this year. I've still got 18 months until I hit that.

Also a few weeks ago got the invite for my 30th high school reunion. Not much heads up was given, especially for those of us who are now out of state, so it was eventually canceled due to lack of affirmative RSVP's.

On the latest season of Only Murders in the Building, there's a reference to Linda Lavin. The fact that I knew who she is really dated me.

I have a chronic neurological condition so for the past 20 years I have of an MRI of my brain every couple of years. The results have always read "essentially unchanged" until this month. This time it said their was "appreciable" gray matter shrinkage. The follow-up from the neurologist was that just means I'm getting old.
