when did you start to feel old?

[elevated_u2_fan]

Let's go steal batteries.

...it was a crime of passion

 

[U2Man]

I changed my mind. I think that's what happens when you get old

i wanted to say that but thought better of it.

 

[anitram]

When I was in a hostel in the Netherlands thinking, I'm too old for this shit, where's the fucking Hilton???

 

[Pearl]

When I started to color my hair permanently to hide the gray (and I'll be 25 in a few weeks)

I guess I’m a little strange, because I’ve always felt like an old soul. Even as a kid, I was marking time in my mind, aware of the passing moments. My mother is constantly amazed at my recall for dates of family vacations and events--actually, it’s more of an amusement for her. Nobody really needs to know the specific month we moved to Labrador, or exactly how old our cat was when we went to Germany for Christmas. (Just over a month old.)

A quicker answer: When Wayne Gretzky retired. I became a man that day.

 

[Carek1230]

Never!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fah]

I think it was when I turned 40 and my mother died 3 weeks later.

 

[No spoken words]

I started to feel old when I hired an intern born in 1988. That's kinda when I started feeling a little old, since I graduated HS that same year.

 

[RavenBlue]

This year when I realized my cousin graduates from high school next year

 

[LyricalDrug]

When I figured out Santa was my parents.

 

[BVS]

When I was 8.

 

[VintagePunk]

When people who are considerably younger than me bitch about feeling old.

 

[JCOSTER]

When the kids that were in my bridal party are getting married themselves. Considering they were only 9, 7 and 3 at the time.

 

[fly so high!]

When I could no longer get away with NOT wearing makeup
When I had to start waxing my eyebrows
When I had to start waxing my upper lip!!!!

 

[MsPurrl]

When my son turned 30.
P.S. Mr. BAW, you are just a pup!

 

[beegee]

When my 13 year old daughter had to explain to me what emo is.

 

[SpiritofLilght]

Fathom this....since Time is Relative

we are all Eternal Souls, with no beginning and no end

then Age become relative

tho' your body may age from birth thru life to recycling

your mind, you as spiritual being are Ageless, Timeless

as your existence is a Continuity, a Journey

in which we cross the paths of others


In short, you wanna be forever young, so be it, do it,

Just be who and what and when, you want to be



But when your body doesn't seem to heal as fast as it once did
just be more patient
and in Time, all will Heal

I like this a lot!

When my 13 year old daughter had to explain to me what emo is.

that is awesome... I have to admit, I have no idea what half of this new Internet speak means...

I think that is an indicator I'm getting old when sentences with numbers and "teh" confuse me...

I'm also starting to get scared of new technology; all these new computers and cell phones are starting to seem too small and confusing to me.

 

[JCOSTER]

[Got Philk?]

When I say; I love that Depeche Mode song! ...and then someone else says; oh yeah, my mom loves that one too

Mine is similar...but it's The Cure.

 

[DILETTANTE]

-The first time someone called me "Ma'm".
-When I made a funny grunt/sigh noise getting into a hot bath.
-When after I carefully explained to a young child that Abraham Lincoln lived over a hundred years ago, the child looked me straight in the eye and said "Well, did you know him?"
-When I realized at a very young age that twinkies no longer tasted like Real Food.
-When drinking a coke for breakfast just didn't do it anymore....

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

When a classmate asked me "what year did the Berlin Wall fall?" and when I told him how old I was when it fell *I was 15 at the time*, he told me "wow, I was maybe 3 years old."

When my oldest nephew reminds me that he is now driving and about to enter his senior year in high school and will be able to vote next year.

When I realized I cannot walk up the pyramids in Mexico because my knees are shot to hell.

When I see more grey hairs.

When I hear words like "flossy" in a song and have no idea what the hell that word means.

 

[jobob]

yes, I'm old. But no one else thinks I'm old.

*when I became an assistant to people 5-10 years younger than I am.

*when I started coloring my hair ... and found out I couldn't stop.

*when I had to trade in my sporty red two-door coupe for a sensible four-door sedan.

*whenever I think of how old some of my favorite Springsteen and U2 albums are ...

*when I had to get bifocals (thank God for lineless bifocals and bifocal contact lenses!)

 

[kellyahern]

When I went to a concert at the local college and realized that I was no longer in the "college student" age group.

 

[forbonou2]

40! Seemed like I had already reached half my life..but then, I thought, depends on how long you think you will live..or want to! that's not half of 120! lol! *Live, Love, Laugh*!

 

[forbonou2]

Spirit....that was perfect!!! Thanks!

 

[Zoots]

When everyone around me seemed to be getting married in a hurry! I'm pretty sure I have fewer unmarried peers than married ones.

 

[Evalicious]

I started feeling old when i turned 22 this year.

It really feels as if the life i wanted has passed me by and everything
is slipping away, friends are getting married and having babies......

Where did the last five or six years go to??

 

[one4u2]

Mine is similar...but it's The Cure.

Same with Duran Duran & after I hit 30
