You know you're old when...

when Guns n Roses is referred to as "classic rock"

or when you realize Axl Rose is 50 years old

When you realize you've been out of highschool for four years.hollly efff.

4? ...I'm a little closer to a decade...haha

try a quarter of a century.

how about 38 years.....:sad:

Your 10 year high school reunion just came up.

Your friends are having babies - ON PURPOSE!

When life time warranties don't mean as much as they used to.:sad:

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!
Wonder what my original Crock Pot from 1984 would go for? Still works like a charm! I have quite a few wedding presents from that year that I still use.
They don't make stuff like they used to! (yeah, THAT made me sound old!)lol

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.

When your head tells you you're still only 24 but your body says otherwise.

When you go for a drive and see about 4 kids all with blue hair and think WHY . (happened tonight !)

When a young guy gives up his seat on the train because us older working ladies need to sit down (I'm 54!!)

When just watching your kids run around, jump on and off things and fall all over the ground makes your back hurt and your knees ache.

Um... Depeche Mode will ALWAYS be worthy of airplay... regardless of the format!

QFT!


...when members of your favorite band look haggardly

...when the theme song from your senior prom is on the oldies station

...when college kids call you ma'am

...when you are explaining to your kids that we didn't have phones in our pockets back then

...when your "babies" are getting licensed to drive and you reference the Corey Haim film that they've never even heard of

...when you watch a movie you haven't seen in over 20 years and realize that it was actually pretty stupid

When you drive by a billboard advertising a Pat Benatar concert and the 22 year old in the car pops of with "Who's he?"

Funny you said that. I just drove past a a billboard advertising a Pat Benatar concert and I wondered how many younger people would know who she is.

When your kids principal at school is younger than you are.

...and I thought I was getting old when I was just older then the teachers.

...when you go to the student-teacher conference and you mistake the teacher for a student...

ETA: True story! :laugh:

You might be old if... 1. The last live rock concert you went to was Led Zeppelin. This was after seeing Steppenwolf and Grand Funk Railroad. 2. You think rap music is just a passing fad.

When someone says that was a looooooooong time ago, in 2005! Wtf? :huh: :noway:

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.

You get a haircut and they trim your eyebrows, nose and ear hair - sheesh
