One thing that makes me feel old is when I turn on the radio and Aerosmith's "Dream on" is on.... and I'm tuned into an oldies station!

Nintendo's catch phrase "Now you're playing with power!"

not to mention Fred Savage starring in "The Wizard" when SMB3 was the secret unreleased game, where as I have no clue how the kid figured out where that flute was if it was brand new and never seen before.
The ORIGINAL theme to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, when it wasn't called TMNT

[faeriebell]

Talking with my nanny who is 23 and realizing that she was in middle school the year I graduated high school made me feel old. People who were 10 years old or younger on 9/11 make me feel old.

And I despise all the movies they are remaking. There is talk of the Goonies being remade. Are you freaking kidding me?! Classics should not be messed with. Also, Karate Kid is being remade. Euch.

All those young wippersnappers don't know how good they got it. *shakes cane* wink )  

[Creepy Clown Town]

the fact I can't stay up till 5am and still handle running the whole day with two hours of sleep  

[Creepy Clown Town]

or the fact that I met my husband's little brother when he was a little punk in 6th grade and next month he will be of legal drinking age sweatdrop  

[Geeky User Name]

ok, so normally i feel that age is irrelevant. i mean, i've had arthritis since i was a kid. i can't eat anything without it talking back to me. there are days when it's easy to believe that i've had a stroke or alzhiemers. i'm not really that old now, though considered past middle age. but i have noticed that it takes a little longer to recover from those things that i used to consider a good time (what a drag). and there are a lot of things that i find difficult to describe to some of the offspring's friends that i used to get a kick out of - 8-track tapes, lp's, bell bottoms... watching technology, society, and style change back and forth, then listening to grandpa's take on it (he's 90 this year). and, i can just about relate. never mind discussing medical problems like most people discuss the weather.
the kids asking me to compare 'things way back when i was a kid' (i swore i'd never do that to them). that's a kicker.
yeah, it makes me wonder sometimes.  

[Creepy Clown Town]

I will see younger people wearing stuff that is just a remake of something that was popular when i was younger and they never believe me and say "nuh uh, this is brand new!" no, its a copy of what was once popular and now regenerated back to your generation because you were not old enough to remember it being around back then.You really think after all these fads throughout the years there would still be some creativity left in the fashion world?  

[Geeky User Name]

i don't have that. i have my kids pulling out my old clothes out of storage and fighting over them because they want the latest in authentic retro. my wooden and leather clogs are destroyed. my bandanna shirt is long gone. and i can't find my belled levi's. not that i can wear the stuff anymore... lol
and, dimmit, my grateful dead t-shirt wore out, and not by me.  

[Serenity Celestial]

My niece just had her 12th b-day...that makes me feel old because it was like just yesterday she was in diapers, and hating the letter O because ...O is for Octopus, and they are scary. XD I miss those days. Also All the shows that I used to watch when I was a kid ...being gone, and nobody knowing or remembering them... that's just sad ;_;
