Well here I am feeling like a 48 year old kid yet some truths seem inescapable. So I thought I would start this little thread so that we can all have a place to print what we are thinking.

How to tell you are getting old:
1. WTF is Instagram?
2. I don't recognize any of the bands on the Billboard Top 10 chart.
3. 24 year old girls start looking 16.
When kids start dancing to an old favorite tune... and you realise that you danced to it when it was new, while these kids weren't even *born* yet.
Your choices for watching TV were" ABC, CBS and NBC

I've got a lot of grey hair for the tender age of 41 and more than once, by on of those little punk ass 16 year old kids checking you out at the store, I have been asked me if I'd like the senior discount.
It's also been ages since the last time I was carded.

old doesn't necisarily mean decrepit.
And decrepit isn't necessarily old... I went through cancer at the ripe old age of 29. I know *way* too many medical professionals now. :P
I have broken a lot of parts..... Still active as heck but I pay a price, one I knew I would pay. Seemed like a fair trade-off though. I played hard for 30 years and only got serious about retirement when it seemed clear I would live to get there ;D

Yeah... that one took me by surprise a couple months ago. Can't remember the song, but I distinctly remember double-checking which station I was on. Yep, it was the "classic rock" station.
No, no. Not classic rock stations. I'm talking 'oldies' stations. Oldies such as the Boxtops, the Platters, Jan and Dean (ok they would also play Van Morrison, CCR, Steve Miller) but now they've now added the likes of Van Halen and Bon Jovi?

What you were thinking, I remember as a kid. Fancy plumbimg took awhile to make it to small country towns.
In the summer, you could smell the "dunny truck" while it was half a mile down the road. He carried the "dunny can" to the truck and hoisted it overhead to empty it into the open tank. Holy Occ health and safety!
My teenage kids are amazed when I tell them about this, and how bread and milk were delivered by horse and cart by the milkman and baker. They were blown away by how we left the money and empty milk bottles on the door step.
