What makes you feel old?

[tvguy]

Seriously? Goes to see if @tvguy is punking us...

No punking at all. Back when it was still "Stuart Anderson's Black Angus", they all had dance floors. The one's here had of those lighted ones. Red Lobster too. They were trying to compete with all the Disco Bars in the 1970's.

"Here's some frozen shrimp, let's boogie" seems weird, but I believe you.

Realizing the nurse giving your tetanus shot went to grade school with your own daughter.

Speaking of scrunchies, boyfriend put some in my stocking, I was thinking "where the heck did he find these relics?", had no idea they were back "in" again. Oh! And my almost 15 year old has been sporting a fanny pack, now that's something that should never, ever be resurrected!

LOL. No, the dance floor was part of the bar. So yes, I'm sure they would be glad if you ate, and then went to the bar, but it was for the drinking customers primarily, not the eating ones.

Knowing that I need to have a hip joint replacement soon. If that’s not a sign of aging, I don’t know what is.

 

[lifesavacation]

LOL. Disco! Back when Black Angus, Red Lobster and the like all had dance floors and a DJ.

Lol. One of my jobs during college was as a hostess at Black Angus and I’d also take the cover charge money for the bar on the weekends. I wasn’t old enough to actually go in the bar, but loved staying late on those nights and listening to the DJ.

Oh, that's no good. I hope it goes great! My aunt had a both done and it has been SO good for her.

I realized I was old when I looked at my profile here a while back and was aghast that my age was mistakenly put on there as 45. It looked SO old. Then I realized it was actually correct and was horrified all over again.

Helping to plan DSs wedding. Shouldn’t he just be, like, 5? He’s 26!

I'm 39. I prefer to call it "What reminds me that I'm no longer 22 years old?"

Standing back up after sitting on the floor. That does it every time.

 

[Snowflakey]

It wasn't that I turned 50 this year because I sure don't feel fifty! What did it was having to purchase reading glasses I have a pair in the kitchen, in the living room and just brought a pair into work

Asking my kids how to do something on my iPhone...just learned how to screen shot

Got home at 4am from Christmas party and took me 2 whole days to recover...and I only drank water

Went to a concert with DH and thought we were much younger than the crowd around us...then DH pointed out nope, we fit right in

Aches and pains appearing here and there

I make it a point to practice getting up and down off the floor in order to be "parade ready" so I can continue to sit on the ground and get up without having to call in the imagineers to figure out how to get me up!

Telling my kids that I heard Rod Stewart do a Christmas carol on the radio and I didn't like it. Both of them (DS23 and DD18) asked who Rod Stewart was. UGH!

 

[StephMK]

1-seeing HS classmates on FB and thinking how old they look
2-DD getting married this year
3-2nd DD graduating HS in 2018
4-DS graduating HS in 2019
5-making plans for our next house to be retirement friendly-one level. That's several years away but we plan to stay in the next house until we can't live there any longer.

Dh and I went to see Rod in concert when I was 6 months pregnant with Ds who will be 24 in 2018. Waahhh!

Realizing that as of last year's election, someone born in the eighties is eligible to run for president. And for the 2024 election, someone born between January 1-20, 1990 will be eligible.

Seeing NHL players who are the kids of people I used to watch when I was not that old lol

I remember the first time watching Brandon Sutter play, saying to myself "hey , I remember watching an Islanders game and Jiggs McDonald announcing your birth."

 

[Donnainnj]

My daughter's friend just got engaged over Christmas and I didn't immediately think "She is too young".

Today at work I modified a document I had done in 2001. I don't feel old enough to have been at a work place 16 years (actually going on 19).

Also that I have a nephew pushing 30, and a daughter who will be 20(!) later in 2018.
