When you can't figure out how to quote. copy, or paste.

I still have some 8 track tapes.

Don't feel a day over 10!

I groan everytime I get up of the coach,chair,bed :oops: :roll:

I do too and really never thought much about it until one day my 5 year old grandson, who I babysit for, got up from watching TV saying, "ooo, ouch, ooow, oooo, ouch". He didn't do it intentionally to imitate me, nor was he sore or hurting. It just felt like a habit for him after hearing me for so long. I pointed it out to him and he thought it was funny. He didn't realize he did it. Kids really do imitate adults!

not just yet....but i do realize, i've 'known' my husband more than half my life now. crazy.

how i actually enjoy going to bed early, say 10:30-11pm on a weeknight, so i can get a good night's sleep... :roll:

i consider that wisdom, not old

but then...

you start rationalizing your old person habits by claiming it's wisdom

Yeah, but...in my younger years I COULD stay up all night and work all day, now I can't even lose some sleep and work a full day.

...and they to watch younger customers get so excited about things like "the lost boys" tshirt when they weren't even born when it came out...and i remember watching it over and over again :(

I hate those signs. I always think the years are too near. Then I realize my age!!!!!!!

well i still enjoy younger men.

as i said, if i think about it...i might feel dirty/pervy, but i simply try not to think about it.

hahahaha.

eh well, at least your thinking about it. then again, maybe i wasy lucky, b/c it didn't hit me until after 30, and took me a good 5 years of denial before i faced the facts. :P then i went right back to my wicked ways and am still facing it at 40. so much for the wisdom age correlation eh?

and i definitely feel old when i consider that people 10-15 years younger than me start feeling old! :shock: and normally, i don't feel old!

edit - and btw, yes! too far! you are too young to have DVDs containing hot girls that you think you are old enough to be their father!

ack! that reminds me, my husband saw miley cirus at a today show taping (he used to work right around rockefeller plaza) he had no idea who she was, saw her from behind, and commented to his partner about the chick with the smokin' hot legs. when he found out who she was, from his partner sgiving one of those, wtf man...do you know how old that girl is?! hahahahaha. my husband was mortified. and yes, he said she looked way older from behind.

Well, that's why it is making me feel guilty. Until a little while ago 21 would not have shocked me, but now it's becoming odd. I don't have a problem with younger men, but this guy now feels like a baby

a perfect example of an 'you know you're getting old...' statement.

musta missed this one...

i should clarify, the dvd's are not of girls that i could be the father of, which i believe would land me in prison

just that i may have a few from that genre, where the "actresses" star with men old enough to be their fathers, hehe. god bless the internet!

your husband shouldn't beat himself up. it's kinda spooky sometimes how fast teenagers grow up these days. it's a strange contradiction... i see girls on college campuses now and they DO look so young. but on the flipside, i used to have to chaperone junior high dances for an old job and some of the girls at them looked like they could walk into any club and get served no problem... in JUNIOR HIGH. some of the guys could have been professional athletes they were so damn huge. there's definitely something wrong with our food supply.

I know I'm getting older cause my oldest nephew turns 20 this friday. :shock: :shock: :shock:

You know you're getting older when you start reading the nutritional content of foods and look directly for Fiber!!!!!!!!!

THIS made me laugh!

conor, ok...far better, thank you.
besides, in reality, the 'average' film has romantic entanglements with may/december pairings ALL the time, with the man being 15-25 years older, and it is NOT the storyline, just 'reality.' :? hahaha. sooo many films are like this, even old films! now if a woman is so much as 7 years older, all of a sudden it IS the plotline. but i digress. no worries, my husband got over it immediately. he just relayed the story b/c it was funny, and yes...commented how young girls dress nowadays.

seriously tho, i look back to how i dressed in my teens, most especially make-up....and yea, i looked 'older' at 15 than i did at 25. hahahaha.

when you watch major league baseball and realize that almost ALL of the players would be too young for you to date.

When you realise people born in the 90s are now old enough to work :shock: ... and think of the 80s as retro :? ... I swear walking around certain parts of London it's like being in a time warp

or when the prof asks who was born in the 90's and over half the lecture hall puts up their hands :shock:

When you have just accepted redundancy with roughly a years pay and STILL dont know whether to spend some of it going to OZ for a couple of shows, OR saving it and being sensible as who knows how long it will be until i get another job?

Ten years ago i would already have the flights and tickets booked even though i only got the call 90 minutes ago!!

Dam you sensible getting old thoughts..............
