Black and white t.v., with rabbit ears. No calculators in school, they hadn't been invented yet. Skates with keys.

I remember my 9th grade English teacher, Mrs. Sweet (she was not sweet) had an old manual typewriter on her desk that she would type letters on while we were taking tests! She drove me nuts with that thing. Bet none of the teachers nowadays have one on their desks. lol

When you wake up sick and feeling crappy but you drag on out of bed and on to work because that is what you are suppose to do, work...that was yesterday but today Chuckles...this morning I reverted back to my younger days and said they can do without me today. Funny how sometimes we were smarter about some things, when we were younger.

I realized I was getting older when my kids informed me i was no longer cool

Mr Nice Guy · 06-12-2012, 04:50 PM

I knew I was getting older when I started taking glucosamine. Sucks! Lol

princessbelle · 02-27-2011, 06:00 PM

You know you are getting older when..........

the young kids that were friends of your own kids and who called you "mom" when they were growing up....

are now married and have kids of their own.

princessbelle · 02-27-2011, 06:00 PM

......when you go to a wedding and you are no longer a bridesmaid but the "mother of the groom".

Invictus · 02-27-2011, 06:20 PM

... when the movies shown on TV's Classic Movie channel are the movies you saw in the theater....

~ when you can say you watched the Beatles debut on Ed Sullivan.....live!

~ when dancing with the stars meant a Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly movie

~ when you stop shaving your legs and start shaving your chin

~ when breast exams are a matter of health rather than foreplay

~ when you stop checking for blemishes and start checking for lumps and oddly shaped moles

...When you can't party until 5a.m and still be in work for 7a.m

...When your senior school got computers the year you left.

...When friends don't remember the Apollo moon landing - or Pan's People for that matter (very Brit reference)

...When 35yrs, nay 40yrs ago, seems like yesterday.
