    I cant listen to the radio anymore. Back in my day, the music wasn't trash.

    Lithium on XM is the only station I can handle.

    Haven't bought a pair of button-fly 501s in years. Decided to get a couple pair. Turns out I go to the bathroom a lot more than I did when I was 18-21...they stay in the closet.

    Not a problem but a holy *kitten* moment. My 14yr old son asked me if I was alive when people used rotary phones and I’m only 43! Was it really that long ago?...lol

    One of the vets I took my dogs to didn't even look old enough to drive, let alone finish veterinary school.

    It's 9pm on a Saturday night. I just popped 4 ibuprofen because of my random aches and pains. I'm drinking diet coke and contemplating if it's too early to go to bed.

    All the politicians are now my age or younger too. Always though it was a bunch of old men and women running the country before. I guess we now number among the old men and women!!

    They don’t know the struggle of a busy signal or no caller ID.

    Oh, I had a 5 year old pick up the landline phone and ask me what that sound was because she'd never heard a dial tone before. lol

    or voice mail - you had to keep calling back when they weren't home

    Yes! OR when you missed a phone call you had to call all your friends to see if it was them!

    or only being able to reach someone if they were home.

    I'm 33 and I'm fairly sure they were a popular niche when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. May just be a UK thing but I definitely remember them.

    I get out of bed in the morning and I am stiff, and the dogs are impatient to go out. So I half stagger through the house to let them out. It takes me a while to loosen up.
    I really hated giving up my heels - I love beautiful shoes, but it is hard to find beautiful shoes in the "comfort" department.

    We were at an antique store a few months ago and my kids didn't know how rotary phones worked. They asked me to teach them how to dial.
