I must be getting old...

[perry]

Graduated in 96. I realized I was getting old when I saw a sign that said people born in 1990 could buy alcohol.

You know you're getting old when you hear the songs you listened to in HS on the "classics/oldies" station...

I was helping setup a phone yesterday and we setup a "old school rap" station on Pandora for him. It started playing songs I remembered from college!

Had someone pick me up a bottle of wine when I graduated back in 87 to enjoy on my 50th. Robert Mondovi Cabernet Sauvignon 68. Still have it today and have tried to keep it out of daylight since. Probably have to wash it down with tequila because it tastes like $h**

Not quite, but close!
It's when you hear the soft instrumental version in an elevator. It dawned on me as I caught myself humming along to Sweet Emotion done on piano and harp or something about a dozen years ago.
*sniffle*

Man, it's all dusty and smells like stale farts in here! Air this joint out! Bunch of old fogeys...

Except gunmom1911 and BiPlaneGirl of course.

When someone asked me if I felt old after I became a Grandpa, I said not until it dawned on me that I'm married to a Grandma.... Man, that was 12 years ago. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, it's not me.
Currently, I smell like hot chocolate spills and sugar cookie crumbs. Don't judge.

Can't really, lol. I'm part of the smelly crowd.

 

[hopper68]

I graduated in 1967 as well....







....from kindergarten.

You must be old because I wasn't born yet! Now if you had just graduated a year later I couldn't say that.

I was at a Subway restaurant today for lunch, and saw a kid wearing a letter jacket from the same high school that I graduated from. I told him "Hey, I have a jacket like that from when I went there." He said, "that's cool, when did you graduate?" I replied that I graduated in 1997. His reply to me was "Wow, I wasn't even born yet." I do the math real quick and realize that I've been out of high school for over 16 years now, so just about anyone 16 or younger was born close to or after I graduated.


So...I'm starting to understand what I've heard those older than me say for some time now when they say "wow, you just made me feel old." (and I'm sure by me posting the date I graduated that some of you will feel "old" as a result.

Well if it makes you feel any better, Julie and I have been married longer then you have been a high school graduate. So technically I could be that young mans dad. You also have more hair and less of a potbelly compared to me.

 

[Mgderf]

Graduated in 1977 myself.

Remember though. 50 is not old,
if you're a tree.

 

[patience0830]

1978 was my graduation date. Still feel 20. Harder to get a date in that age bracket now, tho'.

 

[gunman41mag]

WOW !!! didn't know there's so many old-timers here

You have a way with words,VERT. Just made me feel older! Thanks!

 

[Bennettjh]

I graduated in 2009. I'm just a smart-aleck kid.

I started taking Tae Kwon Do with my son about 2 months ago. I had to spar with a 16 year kid who is a second Dan black belt last night. Let me tell you I feel old. After class all I could do was lay down in the dressing room. I mean this young man flat out kicked my butt!

 

[metaldog]

I'm old enough to know better!!! And to young to care....

 

[UncleMike]

I graduated in 1967 so whether I feel it or not, I am old.

Joncon I graduated in 1967 as well. And I don't feel old at all!

HA!!!
Old farts!!!!
I graduated in '68.....

Oh, I mentioned I graduated in 96... I learned last year that my high school was being torn down because it was old It was opened in 1969!

Not to worry Ralphie......There's some smokin' hot grandmas around.
