Red 01-14-2007 08:07 PM

I've seen espadrilles come into fashion 3 seperate times. Granted I wasn't alive when they first came in, but whatever. When you say out loud "hey, I remember the last time that was in style"...well....you know you're gettin' oldahhhh too.

SuzeQuze 01-14-2007 08:09 PM

When you tell someone your age and their jaw drops and eyes bulge. :lol:

I felt really old this morning at a cafe when they were playing Pat Benatar and the guys behind the counter was talking about how much his mom loves her. :o

But....I had just finished a 1 hour 45 minute run.....so not feeling very old today. :D

sara1998 01-14-2007 08:25 PM

When your kids tell you how cute your grey hairs are.
When asprin and White Castle the night before don't help the hangover the morning after.
When you pluck that one annoying ass hair on your chin weekly.

when the 2 year old cashier at the grocery store (ok, so maybe she was 16) specifically TELLS you you're old.


cashier: "so how long have you had that piercing for?"

me: "ummm. . ." (frantic mental math, a sure sign of old age) "about 10, no 12, actually almost 13 years"

cashier: "wow, you're OLD".

thanks a lot. now ring up my sh*t!!

BlackWidow 01-14-2007 08:54 PM

you are explaining to someone about the days when Stevie had a vocal range.

pfft. One morning i was throwing up like clock work every 15 minutes after the drunkest night i've ever had in my life. To everyone who was not present the night before~i had a stomach virus. I'm not so sure that wasn't the case anyway:shrug: :laugh:

estranged4life 01-14-2007 10:23 PM

I know I am old when 1987 produced some of the best albums I still listen to on a near daily basis (ie-Whitesnake "Whitesnake"), so that's 20 years ago and man I can't stand it...

Don't get me started on having grey hair since I was 20 years old...

Wild_Heart03 01-14-2007 10:33 PM

... when the kids these days don't even know what a cassette is, let alone a record. Damned uncultured children... :rolleyes: :laugh:

catinthedark 01-14-2007 10:39 PM

... you realize your mum had THREE children by this point in her life, aged 10, 7, and 4.

and mum didn't have her kids when she was a kid. :distress:

estranged4life 01-14-2007 10:51 PM

Most dont...

HomerMcvie 01-20-2007 01:09 PM

I did sound for some dumb frat boy band last night. One of em was dressed like an idiot(actually looked like the singer from Loverboy, headband and all. [What was his name? Mike Reno?]).
Anyway, I said, "what, do you think you're in Loverboy?"
He said, "Am I a loverboy?"
I said, "No, do you think you're a member of Loverboy?"
He said, "Am I a lover?"
I said, "No, the BAND......Loverboy?"
He just gave me this PUZZLED look......

Dumbass had never even heard of Loverboy!

Oh vey!

When you can't remember the last time you were carded.....:)

When you haven't watched MTV since 1989 cause you can't stand most of the "new" music
When you remember 8-track tapes, 78's, player pianos rools, wax cylinders...
When you remember the days BEFORE there were video games...
When you can remember only 3 stations on the TV...and if the president gave a speach you were screwed for something to watch...
When you remember not be bothered that you had a B/w TV because most of the shows were aired in Black and white
When you watched the moonlanding....LIVE
When you remember when Fleetwood Mac added that NEW couple
When you remember mood rings, pet rocks and bell bottom pants (The first time around)
When Jaws was the scariest movie you ever saw
When you remember Kenedy, Johnson, Nixon abd Ford as presidents
When Pooka shells were a fashion statement
When Twiggy was a model
When The "Avengers" TV show was originally on (and the Brady bunch, and the partridge family, and...)
When Johnny Carson was considered "Edgey" late night TV
When Laugh-In was originally on TV Sock it to you!




Now I am getting depressed......LOL

DavidMn 01-20-2007 05:50 PM

I havent watched SNL in years.:shrug:

michelle2677 01-22-2007 05:31 PM

Ok. I'm trying to redeem myself here. I drank a crap load of beer last night and no hangover. So everyone who made fun of me= :p :laugh:
