When you're sitting on TCS on a friday or saturday night at 9-10pm and everyone else is asleep


When your kids ask how old you are they they say "WOW!"

When you can remember Pepsi in the glass bottles.

When coffee used to be 49c a pound,
When bread was 3 for $1.00
When $40.00 would buy a weeks worth of groceries
When McDonalds hamburgers were like 8 for a $1.00

When you ask for the "senior discount" at a restaurant & are no longer asked to show ID,
you KNOW you are old.

Man, I am only pushing 30 and that already discribes me. But, I will never forget something that happened to me and made me feel old. About 2 years ago I went back to school to work on my degree. (this is a goal I have been trying to accomplish for 8 years mind you. Life happens) I was in the student lounge having lunch Not thinking much about it. I sat down with a group of 18-19 year olds that were in my class. VH1 was showing I Love The 80's or 90's one. I ofcourse remebered it. They didn't have a clue what it was. And were amazed I did!

and when he had a nose? And I have a Jackson 5 LP from when it was first released. Speaking of which - I have LPs and 45s.

I think I felt it when I realized I was old enough to be the mother of the two new college grads we hired.

Hey I live in a place with a population of like 1500......and the surrounding towns are just as small, maybe it's cause they know somethings never change.
