Good one calnorak..I hate it when i go into my bedroom to get something and once im in there cant rember what i was suppose to be getting so i must be getting old Peace,sugarcookie1

You know you are getting old
when, Uh? I forgot what I was gonna say!

I've been taking a multi-vitamin every morning forever and recently my wife suddenly started buying me Centrum Silver and I was like "WTH???" She says "well they recommend it for men your age." Man! I seriously don't feel my age (50's), when I get a haircut and look at all the gray on the floor I just try to pretend that it was there when I sat down I don't think I'll ever get used to people saying "sir" to me either, I feel like saying "I am NOT a knight!"

I hate old people!!!!!!!

You know you're getting old when someone starts a thread about getting old and you actually reply.

that really made me laugh

just as well you don't have that issue when walking into the toilet!!! Things could get really ugly if you get the sitting or standing thing wrong

You know you're getting old when you are the only one in the room who understands what "clockwise" means, know how to use a rotary dial telephone, remember Queen Elizabeth's coronation, and remember exactly where you were when Kennedy was shot. And for the really old, remember VJ day.

My Mother-in-Law moved to Las Vegas earlier this year. One of the items she didn't want to take with her was a 1968 Silvertone Stereo Console. Someone had given it to her 15-20 years ago and it sat in the corner of a spare room in her house. It was dusty and dirty and I figured it wouldn't even be workable, but I loaded it onto the truck and brought it to our place. I spent hours cleaning that thing up to find out it is in pristine condition, right down to the original record needle. It has a turntable, 8-track and AM/FM radio. We put it in our living room and the sound is great. It's really a contrast to the HD-TV, but it's interesting to have there. Well, the neighbor's boy came over one day and he was sitting in a chair next to it. He's 9 years old. He started looking at one of the speakers and then tapped on it. He said,"Is this hollow?" I said, "It's a speaker." He looked quizzical and said,"Speaker? Like on a stereo?" I said, "Yes. Let me show you." I lifted up the center of the console and by the look on his face you would have thought I just showed him ancient alien technology. I spent the next half hour showing him you could stack up the vinyl records to play back to back, if you only wanted to hear one side of each and showing him how an 8-track works. It was funny since he didn't know something like that existed, but for me it did kinda of make me feel old. By the way, the console is one year older than me and personally, I feel very young for 41.

Thanks Sugarcookie! Those consoles are huge and long, but, even when I'm not using it, it works great for putting lamps and flowers on. The construction of those things is amazingly durable. The sound from mine is excellent when I use the radio.

I'm 20 and I feel like I'm getting old :S
