When you go to antique fairs and find the CorningWare cookware you grew up with sporting price tags of $145/bowl or casserole dish.
And your mom won't let you have her stuff to sell on Ebay cuz she still uses her "antique" cookware on a regular basis.
Whoa, seriously?? I need to list my CorningWare!

Wow! All of you all are SO incredibly young.
AARP has become my "friend,"
senior discounts at the movies to save 50 cents is worth telling them I'm a senior.
Applying for the senior discount at hotels, or for my flights because I can save a few bucks
Realizing that at some point, I may need to think about assisted living facilities or go live with my kids
Getting ready for my 50th class reunion and realizing that I can't stay up all night like we used to till dawn. If I make it to midnight, I've done good!
Realizing that my grandkids, born in the '90s and 2000s are now almost all grown up, either in college or headed there... *sigh*
Having a brain that says, "I can do that!" and a body that says, "Oh no you can't," and proves it!
Not being able to dance all night.... ok sometimes I can't finish one fast dance!
Wondering where my reading glasses are - oops, I'm wearing them.
Going to the doctor cause I have an ache or a pain............. Dr. says, "you're getting older, it happens."
Trying to find the "oldies" on the radio and instead having to listen to classic rock
Going out for dinner (as someone already posted) before 6 pm so I'm home by 8 pm
Going out to a party and leaving by 10 cause I've had all I can handle - used to be I never left the house until 10....
Learning to type on a real typewriter
Making copies with a mimeograph machine (no Xerox's)
Driving a car with a clutch and no automatic steering.... don't miss that!!
I know I'm old when I can remember rotary dial phones and party lines, REAL ice boxes, dishwasher was my hands, dryer was the clothesline, television only came in B&W and had only two channels and went off the air at midnight. I remember the milkman delivering milk to our door, push mowers, and my daughter was born the year we landed on the moon.
At least I can still walk five miles, swim a few laps (can still outswim my kids - but they're older too), can hang with the big boys.... until 10 pm.... and drink like a fish.... a goldfish.... a pepperidge farm goldfish.0 -

When the "oldies" that are playing on the local Oldies Station are not "oldies", because you are looking for those songs recorded in the 50's or 60's, not the 80's and 90's.0

Your form of entertainment when your Dad was driving through scenic country for family vacation was to play "Go Fish" with your siblings. When you were home for the summer on school vacation, you didn't have contact with most friends unless they sent you a snail mail letter. You went visiting the relatives on Sunday afternoons, and those relatives made fried bologna sandwiches for the snacks. You wore a type of sandal in the summer called "thongs". You had a party line on the land line phone, and you can remember seeing your Mom listening in on other people's conversations. You know what it means if someone calls you the "Mrs. Kravitz" of the neighborhood. Your local cop would allow you to "just pour out the beer--- (canned Schlitz)" if you were drinking on Friday night after the game, especially if it was the first time you were caught.0

Good God, where to start........
1) You can remember every word to a one-hit wonder's song from the 80's that you haven't heard in years, but remembering where the car keys are or where you left the phone is damn-near impossible :grumble:
2) My daughter found the corded phone I keep around in case of a power outage, and she was utterly baffled as to how that could work while attached to the wall.
3) All my favorite Fisher Price toys from when I was a preschooler have been re-released as classics
4) The lego that I handed down to my kids has started to crack and break :sad:
5) You don't bother to shave your legs as often, even in shorts weather, because you honestly really don't care what people think anyway. I'm old, deal with it! :laugh:0 -
You get a haircut and they trim your eyebrows, nose and ear hair - sheesh0
