Cool You know you're getting older when...

...when the glistening streamers of audio tape festooning the median has been replaced by the jagged shards of broken CDs. (Listening to Yoko Ono sing will make you do that, you know...)

So true!!

I can tell I'm getting old when I turn the radio on to the top 40 station and I barely recognize any of the songs that come on! And now the oldies stations consist of 70's and 80's music! Not 50's and 60's anymore!

Isn't it? I was at a graduation party last summer and a song that I used to listen to all the time when I was in my early teens came on and all the kids dancing yelled "OOOOH OLD SCHOOL!" I just about fell on the floor! I'm officially old school.

Cool

You know you're getting older when you shave off your moustache and beard to rid your face of the last vestiges of white hair from your head. Having shaved 'em off, I now remember why I grew 'em out in the first place. (look like the business end of a Rottweiler)...

When instead of getting excited about shoe shopping, you get excited about furniture shopping.

Haha! You old people! Jen, your post cracked me up! My friends and I were talking about that not too long ago... when we saw a really cool vacuum cleaner!

I knew I was getting "old" when we were quoting Ace Ventura at work (I'm 23, my boss is 25) and the kid standing there had no idea what we were talking about. We asked how old he was and he wasn't even born when it came out! Ace Ventura! Who doesn't know what that is?!

I know I'm not old yet but sometimes, thinking back about times and dates, I feel old! Like knowing half of my cousins will have graduated high school by this summer and I used to change their diapers. I have now been out of high school way longer than I was ever in it. I have bills. I have icky veins popping up places, LOL! I like new foods that I never liked before (Sushi? Tomatoes? Salads!).

PFFT> Where your white hair with pride, besides.. it looks good :P

I'm hoping mine turns white someday

Or better. Silver.

My hair has gone through many a change...
But I just don't shave it off anymore.. I look... strange without it. :P
