All of those make my kids call me old.

I got in trouble talking with my grandson.  He was telling me about mom taking him to school in her new car.  I was over heard telling him about remembering when my mom got her first dinosaur so I could ride to school.  My daughterwas mad because he believed I was that old.

when you remember going to the country store with $1 and getting everything you wanted and 35 cents change back

 

[hepcat]

19 cent hamburgers at McDonalds... "Two hamburgers, fries and a Coke... and change back from your dollar."

I was just talking to my brother and saying how we have a wrong view of what things used to cost. We have the memories of someone from the 40's or 50's instead of the 60's because we grew up on Base, .05 candy bars at the .15 movies, everyone was thin, polite, had short hair (males), and was patriotic... so it's like we grew up in the 50's by accident!

when you realize your coworkers were Born in the year-era you were in High School.. sigh

I am "it hurts to sit on the floor" years old.

 

[John61CT]

..........ah, what's today?

What year is it again?

WHAAAT? That CAN'T be right!

 

[Queen]

I keep having to ask my honey how old I am... and I was born on an even numbered decade, it shouldn't be that difficult!

 I told my 1st grandchild I was 16 and my hair was platinum blonde.  He couldn't believe I was that OLD! 

Two years later and after a 1,000 mile relocation he overheard me telling a friend that I'd be 56 on my birthday.
  The sit hit the fhan   :huh:   I was informed by him that "It is just WRONG to lie to little children  and Your Hair Is GRAY!!!
       There is no such color as platinum   IT'S GRAY!

You know you are old when you stop hearing people say "When I was your age..."

 

[ArtW]

When the guys going to their first year of college were born on your 41st birthday (later on it will be the 51st birthday)

The moment I realized I was old:

I was at a small-town church with my niece to pick up some stuff for my sister, and I asked her to find the phone and call her mom and ask her something. A minute later she came back and said "I can't work the buttons on the phone...". I went to look---and it was a rotary phone. She didn't know how to use it.

I was in vo-tech school for IT, discussing music with classmates. I mentioned Paul McCartney and The Beetles. Our youngest classmate was incredulous, "You mean McCartney had a band before Wings?"
I knew then, I was old...... :-(

 

[ArtW]

Hahahaha when i was driving a Taxi, I picked up a young fella in a 'Motorhead' T shirt
I remarked on it and he started running on about the band, so I popped in with "And you can hardly tell Lemmy has wooden teeth"
The kid was thunderghasted

[Ballenxj]

When nobody knows what "Hey Nineteen" is, much less who Fagan and Becker are... or 'Retha Franklin...

"Hey Nineteen
No we got nothin' in common
No we can't talk at all"

Steely Dan was GREAT! OOPS, I'm giving myself away here.

 

[rvpopeye]

SDan was an incredible bunch.
Donald's first solo album was all digital recording path .
I used it to set up systems !
And loved doing those tunes too.

BUT , that doesn't mean I'm old !
Now , my best friend IS old , 51 weeks more than me and not a musician.....................
(My theory is that the biz stunts your growth age wise. I listen to new alternative these days)

I know I'm old because in the morning I find out how much time is left on my current Pacemaker. I'm told replacing the batteries requires a new Pacemaker. This will be have to be done with a local anesthetic since I am not a candidate for general anesthesia. I'm on the 5th year of a battery or batteries, that last 5 years. It does give one something to think about, Eh?

To all of you insomniacs, see you on the forum late night, I figure this will be a long night.
