    Seeing Facebook photos of old friends' teenaged kids and thinking they look just like their parents did when we were in high school together.

    Or seeing pictures of my old friends now and thinking they look like their parents did 30 years ago.

    Strange, was just thinking about this earlier on today!

    I never felt old really until this last year and then small things started to be apparent to me.

    Can't put my finger on it but, definitely been feeling age creeping up on me this last year!

    It makes me feel old that cars aren't even made with CD players anymore... I can remember riding around on my BMX bike with a Sony portable CD player... back when kids USED to play. Now it's all electronic... don't even need to physically leave your house anymore to visit your friends. The days of AIM... leaving up stupid statuses and thinking you were cool. Now I am reminiscing on the good ol' days :s

    Hell, I remember when CD players came out. I was an early 80's kid so I still remember seeing the last of the 8-Track tapes disappear from the shelves in the early 80's.

    I collect vinyl and have since I was a kid in the 70s so my record collection strongly indicates that I am old school. I remember when CDs arrived on the scene, I thought it was next level amazingness! I don't feel old, I still feel as alive and adventurous as I did when I was in my late teens-early twenties. The emergence of white hair, wrinkles and the satisfaction I get from shaking my fist of disapproval at the young people, indicates angry old lady syndrome is well underway :D

    @TeinyWinehausen I've just started collecting vinyl. I won't play them on the turntable I have though. Looking to upgrade to a quality vintage unit that won't damage my vinyl.

    I was listening to 90s music on the way to work this morning and one song brought back high school memories that made me feel so happy. Until I realized that song came out 20 years ago!

    Dial up internet, landline home phones, VHS tapes......all these things are pretty much extinct now.

    What makes you feel old now?

    All of this, but also when I think about what year the people graduating high school were born in.

    Like this coming school year - most of them were born in 2000.

    Anyone born in 2000 will be 18 next year! ..Damn I feel old. Though it feels like just yesterday.

    I've never, felt young; to feel old! If anything, I feel relief; that my maturity & interests're aligning, with others; my age!

    Listening to albums, rotary phones, NO internet or computers, black and white T.V., people smoking everywhere (even in hospitals!), living through disco times....(I'll be 60 in a few months-ouch!)

    What makes you feel old now?

    One of my high school classmates announced her husband's funeral plans. That makes me feel old.

    My 25th high school reunion was last summer. Everyone had grandchildren. (except for me)

    I'm closing in on 40th without grandchildren. That one makes me feel pointless.

    I don't have to feel old, my daughters point it out to me on a regular basis. By making fun of my tennis shoes (I guess only old people where white Nikes). By making fun of the concerts I go to. By laughing at my attempts to use my cell phone to take pics.

    I love getting older. Beats the alternative, plus I can retire in 2019.
