    The fact that I'm not flexible enough any more for some really complicated yoga positions I used to be able to do easily! :( I'm only 27 and I can't lie on my stomach and bring my legs up from behind to touch my head... I used to be able to bring them to my nose!

  • I remember what T.G.I.F is and I am talking ABC programming not a restaurant.

    Having to change the rabbit ears from one channel to the next.

    I also started feeling old when they would play Nirvana on flash back lunch on the radio.

    The first home satellite taking up the whole back yard, and everyone going to the one house in the town to see the rich folks who could afford said satellite.

    When I find myself saying "the kids today are so disrespectful"

    And I would be considered a kid to some people still
    I'm only 23.
  • I remember the video game cartridges we had to blow in to get it to work....

    Doing things legally ... like sneaking into clubs, actually going to work for money instead of getting an allowance.
    Looking at computers that can take floppy disks to get some files back only to have the sales rep laugh.

    *sigh*

    I have a 7 year old son who told me the other day "you're too wrinkly". I am 26 years old, I do not have wrinkles.

    It's almost 10 years since I finished secondary school (high school equivelant).

    My little brother who is 8 years younger than me now goes to the pub with his friends.

    All of my school friends are married.

    So many of my friends and family are dead!

    Hey, Nina:

    I haven't lost many friends yet, but my parents are gone, most of my aunts and uncles are gone, and some of my cousins, too. It's that phase of life when YOU are the "old timer", and the kids and grandkids rule the world.

    I am on the planning committee for my 40th Class Reunion next summer................when the hell did THAT happen???

    Life is tough sometimes, ain't it?

    Today I bought gas and it was $3.67. When I started driving, it was about $0.90! Used to get mad if I had to pay over a $1. I'm only 35, but those prices make me so OLD.

    When I was in high school, there was a "gas war" going on in my town for a while (competition between the gas stations). Gas was .25. TWENTY FIVE CENTS a gallon..................that was in about 1971/72.

    Now? sheesh............................scary.

    The fact that kids starting high school this year were born in 1998.

    Oh my god. I'm not that old but this fact made me feel that way. When I was in second grade my dad sat me down to tell me all about the "brand new middle school" our city was building and I would be in the first class to go through it but it wouldn't even open until... 1998. :noway:
