I'll start: You know you are getting old when... your kids look at your high school year book and laugh at how silly the hairstyles and clothes were including your own! (mid '80s, big teased bangs, other classmates styles included flock of seaguls looks, perms, billy idol look alikes, assymetrical cuts. Scary '80's looks. I do agree with them how silly we all looked!) I remember laughing at my parents yearbook photos in the same manner my kids were laughing at mine! You know old when...your kids are shocked there was no internet, cell phones etc when you were in high school and college. And you listened to records, what are those?? You know you are getting old when...you look at your hands and realize they are looking like your mother's hands.

brazen_irish_hussy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,535 Last Post: 12/27/2008 Member Since: 6/13/2006	not old, but when I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Disney and I was so excited when they re-released it at the Imax with an extra scene. It was only when I got there that I realized it was a re-release for the 10th aniversary! I remeber seeing it in the theaters the first time. I used to process insurance agents for my company and I remember when I saw the first one when the birthdate was in 1989. I swore it must have been a typo, did the math and realized this infant truely was old enough to legally sell insurance. That was a bit of a harsh reality check

I just told my hubby to join (he got an ap a while back), as I could have possibly gotten a discount on the hotel reservations I just made. There seem to be lots of benefits!

No way, now that made me feel old!!! I feel old finding out pegged jeans are coming back in style and vests. I feel old seeing the little flower girl (who was 3yrs) in my wedding is now in middle school! Also, the kids I use to babysit (when I was in hs) are now in college. When kids know more about technology than you do! Lastly, when I see a young 19 yr olds, I wish I had their skin, waaaah!

LAJennifer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,168 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2005	When I was 20 - I starred in a production of Wizard of Oz (Glinda the Good Witch). Children were cast as Munchkins. I sometimes see/read about some of these former Munchkins in the media - receiving accolades when graduating from Medical School, becoming TV personalities/newscasters/journalists, etc. Makes me feel ancient - and like I seriously underachieved. _____________________________ "Hello Dollies" Combine 1 stick melted butter and 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Press in greased 9x13 pan. On top, layer 1 package chocolate chips, 1 package peanut butter chips, 1 12oz can lightly salted peanuts. Top with 1 small can sweetened condensed milk (I use fat free big deal!). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (the edges should be bubbly). I recommend not cutting them until the next day because it seems to take that long for the graham cracker bottom to really harden.

Girlrocks Cut Rock Total Posts: 449 Last Post: 11/12/2009 Member Since: 7/19/2006	I was watching Saved by the Bell this morning with my 8 year old daughters, and Zach was talking on this HUGE MONSTER early 80's cell phone...the kind that was the size of a handmixer with a big antenna sticking out of the top. My daughters were like "what's he doing", I said he's talking on a cell phone. They said "where is it?". After I explained that is what a cell phone used to look like, and mommy had one, and was super cool because hardly anyone even had a cell phone back then...they both looked at each other and then laughed (at me!) for about 10 minutes.

vespergirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,904 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 1/29/2007	For me, it was when I looked at the cover of Spin magazine a few months ago and had no idea who was on the cover. I came of age furing the grunge era, early 90s, and majored in music business & management in college. I also worked as a manager for several alternative rock bands in Boston. I was all about the underground music scene, and totally up to speed on what was good, who would be hot, etc. I do, however, feel entitled to say that all the newer top 20 type stuff they play on rock stations now is total crap. Especially becuase 1/2 of what they play is nirvana, soundgarden, stone temple pilots, etc., band swho were big in the early 90s - if there was enough good music coming out these days, they wouldn't be rehashing all the great music from 15 years ago.

("I'll stop the world and melt with you" by Bad English, circa 1985) I figured I'd better jump back in and post on topic since I think I scared everyone with my last post.
