    You walk into the university library, see the Quaint Old Technology exhibit, start playing Frogger and PacMan on the Atari 2600 system left for that purpose and you're the only one who knows what it is.

    My best friends oldest daughter is in college.

    My brother in law just commented on going to his 25th HS reunion this past weekend... and I realized mine should be NEXT YEAR.

    .... When did Motley Crue become Classic Rock ....

    Gumballs were a penny.

    LOL I can't wait to go back and read all these. :laugh:

    When the athletes you look up to now are much, much younger than you.

    When you grunt when you make just about any movement (Bending over to pick something up, getting off the couch, etc.)

    When you find just about any new music annoying, and not as good as "the old days."

    When you no longer get carded at bars :-(

    You Watched the Beatles on the "Ed Sullivan Show"
    CBS always closed their broadcast with the number of Americans killed ...... in Vietnam
    Tommy James and the Shondells played at your High School Junior /Senior Prom
    Rolling up a pack of Camels in your white tee sleeve was 'Cool'
    Going to the Out Door theater in your best friend's 'New' '70 440 Cuda
    Remembering when Elvis Presley was drafted into in the Army and you could not wait till his Hitch was over
    Your draft number was 6 but you beat it by enlisting ........
    Draft dogers were sent to Federal prison

    Crap! just read my list .... I do beleive I am old!!!!! What the FLOCK!!

    When you meet a teen mother (16) but realize you're old enough to be the baby's gramma.
    When Nirvanna is referred to as "oldies"...

    When you have to explain what a WALKMAN was/is. :(

    When you tell a teen that cell phones didnt used to take pictures, let alone play games and give you directions. :(

    all of the above - liked the Shelby Cobra and Roadrunner, Cuda was great too !! - Draft dodgers also came here to Canada - Went to Florida with parents way back during the Viet Nam War. I was 18 and it was quite the deal to get me back into Canada. !!

    You go to your brothers wedding and ask the best man, "Who's that hottie over there?" And he replies that it's his youngest brother and you realize the last time you saw him he was an infant and you changed his diaper.

    You know you are old when you:

    Realize you're a crabby old fart and you're OK with that.

    Remember when the majority of people made an effort to be polite and considerate of others in public.

    Honestly can't tell whether that group of students are high schoolers or college age. They all seem the same - young.

    Have to fight the urge to constantly give advice or suggestions to the youngsters.

    Get the senior discount from a retail clerk. I've been silently accepting freebies and money off since I was 40 years old. I still don't even know the official AARP start age.

    Subconsciously compare a current actor/actress or athlete to their parent, grandparent or other relative who was popular when you where young.

    Think most current sitcoms are simple minded, annoying and stupid. Even though you were a dedicated sitcom fanatic in the 1970 & 80s.

    A few other signs.

    When the music of your youth used to be considered hard core and dangerous (hip hop and punk). Now it sounds quaint compared to stuff on the radio.

    When they play "guess the song" with disco music at a work event. None of your co-workers get any right.



    Fun thread. Brings back a lot of memories.

    Your knees buckle and your belt wont....

    Your back goes out more than you do...

    And the only sparkle in your eye is the sun reflecting off your bifocals...

    You go to the family reunion and there are several teenagers you don't recognize, because you're expecting them to be about 9 years old. You look at the backs of your hands and can't recall where those raised veins came from. You tell people you've seen Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, and The Who in concerts, and you get blank stares.....

    True story: I was in HMV to get the DVD "Tommy" by The Who. The 16 yr old helping me said "from the WHO"? I said, yes, that's what I said. Her: "WHO". Me "yes"... blank stare... I had to explain it all the way... sigh...

    It's like an Abbott and Costello routine. And the kid probably wouldn't know who they are either. :happy:

    You have clothes in your closet at least two decades old.

    I get rid of outdated unstylish clothes, but I have shoes older than that. :happy:
