Yeah I feel like finding gray hairs down there is a whole new level. I haven't even found any on my head yet so I was pretty shocked.
Well that's not fair.

I am definitely exhausted at 9 pm but I don't think that is my age so much as life with a full time job a toddler and an infant.

Besides arthritis in my knees and hips... My 20 year HS reunion was this year. I didn't go but saw pictures of it and wondered who all those old mofos were at the reception.
ETA I also explained to my 10-year-old what a cassette tape was last week.

Haven't read yet, so some of these might be repeats, but: the fact that college kids now have "2000s" parties the way we used to have "80s" parties when I was in college, the fact that clothing styles from when I was in HS/college are coming back around again, going to bed at 8pm, not really knowing what the trendy "going out" spots are in my city anymore, just walking around the university where I am employed, multi-day hangovers.

I was watching some PBS cartoon the other day with my girls and they were talking about the 8 planets. I wanted to scream that there are 9 planets so bad. Pluto will always be a planet to me.

I am old enough to be both our office accountant and engineer's mother.
I don't feel old.
I *am* old.
I'm ok with it.

Some of these things don't seem like old people things that old people do. Many seem to be Grown up things that grown ups do. like excited about appliances and not drinking too much. Technology passing you by, aches and pains and worry of retirement, now that's old people things, along with grey hair, and grey eyelashes, now grey eyelashes is OLD. lol. Ok but we all know we’re not old old, just having some fun. This place.

My hip replacement at 27 was a real mood killer. 11 years later, and the creaks just keep on coming. Getting winded going upstairs really makes me feel old.

When a store employee didn't know what a tape was. My credit card is designed to look like a tape. He had no idea what it was.

My kids have never used one but know what they are and they are little kids. They also know what boom boxes and princess phones are despite never having seen one either.

He was probably 19 and had no idea. I'm like, "it was for music, before CDs, anddd iPods". ::blank stare::

I get maybe not knowing what an 8 Track looks like or Beta Max but not knowing a cassette tape or VHS is really odd for a teen.

I was doing tricks at my parent's pool last week feeling young, spry, good. Running, flipping, "surfing" on floaties, like legit CHILDLIKE. And then I woke up the next day and my back was out. Old.

Aches and pains much thanks to my under active thyroid and fibro. The fact that I have a teenager. :fant: and have gone through six pregnancies and so many changes over the years. That alone makes me feel "old." Some days I'm super tired by 8:30pm and need coffee to stay awake to catch up on our shows.
