There are two things that make you feel older

Posted

The first is watching your friends' oldest daughter graduate from her high school/college program.

The second is your 40th birthday.

Double whammy day.

I feel your pain Witty. June is gonna be a bad month for me. 2 graduations and turn 40 on the 25th. I think I would prefer the all in one day thing then to drag it out over the whole month.

Oh I think one other thing that makes you feel old.

Words from your 19 year old daughter "Dad, I am pregnat"


So my 1st Grand child will be born in june and my Youngest daughter just turned 6.

Young punks! Get off my lawn!


<-- Turns 50! this month. And right on cue, started hurting in places I didn't know I had over the weekend. At least I don't sleep like a baby. You know, up every 2 hours and wets the bed.

I knew I was old when a long time friend went to eat steak for lunch for no other reason than we wanted one. I also fell off the music bandwagon...

We probably have enough terminally single people to start a club. Or not.

My sympathies. Truly.

My age epiphany occurred last year when my wife and I realized our oldest daughter was the same age we were when she was born.

I found out that the wonderful young lady who took my virginity has three grand-children.

Everyone I talk to doesn't remember this. I feel so old.
This has less to do with your being old and more to do with your being a geek, Dinah. Don't feel bad about it. =)


I'm such a geek. Some of my heroes have journals.

Im right there with you.. As in I feel old as dirt when that happens, and OMG I loved watching this as a kid! Even bought a few episodes at Gen Con a few years ago.

edit: Also, thank you! I didn't know they were making it into a movie! Can't wait!

The red hairs on my chin all turned white in about a year. Finding white ones on my chest as well...fun stuff.


It's always fun when you see high school grads with birthdays in the 90s...some the same year I graduated from high school.

And seeing older movies on TV and forgetting how old they really are, like The Goonies. Seems like yesterday it was out.

One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

As far as TV and movies go.. How about having a nephew say "Adam West?" Oh!! That's the mayor from Family Guy!

Also, having him consider Wally West and Kyle Raynor as the 'original' Flash and Green Lantern..

He knows better now
