My oldest step son started college last week. My step daughter (middle child) started high school this year. My youngest step- son started 7th grade.

It seems like yesterday when I was giving the younger two piggy back rides and building forts with them in the living room and calling the oldest one down for blowing bubbles in his soft drinks and blowing the paper off the straws in restaurants...or teaching him to drive for that matter...

I'm going to be a wife in less than two months!

Psht, you mean NSTINK. Backstreet Boys all the way!!!

This is what I jam out to on Youtube.

<---old

The eldest of the 3 kids I nannied for during middle school and high school is now a high school Senior! :eek:
One of my friends from middle school sent her daughter off to Kindergarten today.
now, where are my glasses and my walker...

The start of freshman year at college was 30 years ago this week. I just turned 48 on Tuesday.

I just moved into a new house and I got overly excited that the kitchen sink has one of those sprayer hose things... it was then that I realized I feel old.

A lot of the old music I get into that's now a remake of some sort, the younger generation that's about 10 years younger than I am, they think the original is a remake of the new. Haha!

Talking about a TV show I loved as a kid (and everyone my age knows), and getting blank stares from the freshmen, they've never heard of it... and I'm only 24! OMG

:D

I want one of those SO badly.

I had my kitchen remodeled last year, and I opted for a traditional type of faucet instead of the newfangled kind with a single handle. I don't even know how those work! I just want to be able, say, to get cold water by using a handle on the right-hand side without having to think about forward, backward, left, and right. Talk about an oldie.

I'm over 40?... :(

- I feel old when someone whose age ends in '-teen' is coming into this thread and commenting about how old he is.


pshsx1.

I have the Delta Touch2O...it has a pull down sprayer, but you also turn the water on and off by touching the metal on the faucet. It also shuts off automaticly after 4 minutes. I love it.

What if you see both?:cool:

BTW, did you post this in the LOLz CATS thread?

^^^No, it seemed more fitting in this thread and I didn't wanna get spammy up in here. ;)

:mad: That should be against the law.

HA! Love it!

Just showed this to the 20 year old, and he saw both. I think he's now traumatized by this realization!

actually enjoy spending time in the vitamin aisle.

This was one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid. Old as hell..LOL.

LOL

My youngest child (aka "the boy")
A) shaved this weekend (1st time) and
B) Started high school today.

This means that 4 years from RIGHT NOW, I will have an empty nest. Party at AGDee's, Labor Day, 2014, the day my life begins again!

I feel old when people post things like "I am 24 today. How depressing."

Alumiyum, I'm looking at you. :p

LOL!!!

I thought today, "I'm not a huge fan of Usher. Though I was when I was like, 12." Then realized that was over half my life ago. :eek:

I came into an advisory board meeting a couple of years ago after a long drive to the chapter house, and excitedly told another advisor there that I had just been listening to XM Radio and Kasey Kasem on an American Top 40 countdown from 1988! Our collegiate hayday! My advisee snorted, and said, "I was BORN in 1988." Nice.

Okay, first I acknowledge that I am not that old. I turn 27 in a few weeks. But...

1. For the first time in over 2 years, I am finally no longer the youngest employee at my firm. This is the first time- ever- that I haven't been the youngest either on my team (if a large company) or in the company(under 50 employees). I still hold the record of the youngest they've ever hired, though.

2. This is a totally different generation of recruitment. They are all posting statuses on Facebook, liking sorority pages, and tweeting. I remember when Facebook finally came to my campus- back when it was restricted to specific schools- toward the end of my junior year. My senior year was the first time FB came into play during recruitment. Before that LJ was the main research tool we used. Anyway, not all PNMs had FB accounts and people weren't as... open... as they are today. It was a cool new recruitment technology back then. Ha. Of course I also had gmail when they were invite only...

- Walking on the university of Oklahoma campus last week, in a suit and heels, and kids walking past me in pajamas. And that's not that weird, but my reaction to it was! My first thought was, "Damned kids, pajamas are for bedtime!" Meanwhile I definitely was guilty of pjs in class during my undergraduate career, not often, but it happened on more than one occasion. It was such a gut reaction that I thought about it later and went, "Damn girl, you're old."

Facebook didn't even exist when I was in college. Back then, the Web was in its infancy. I had a web site before IBM did. My sorority chapter had a web site before IBM did (because I wrote it). I got to the Web ahead of a megacorp.

Between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I had a summer internship where I had to wear business-formal attire every day. (This is murder in summer in NYC.) One morning, I got onto an LIRR train where there were no available seats, and a young man in jeans and a T-shirt gave up his seat to me. I was 18 years old, and he probably was, too. It made me feel old, even though I wasn't even old enough to drink. It also made me hold out some hope for our generation, that in certain circles, chivalry still exists.

Coming late to the game, but I see a Benjamin Franklin kitty! The Beatles were before my time and I've never gotten into Harry Potter. Those scream "spectacles", which in turns shouts Benjamin Franklin.

I must run track with dinosaurs because I've never considered wearing pyjama pants or even sweat pants outside my home or to class. I also still give up my seat in a reception area, bus/train or restaurant if an elderly person is also waiting. But then again I used an actual card catalog in the past month so I should be expecting my AARP membership any day now ;)

Yep, I think you have everyone else beat with that statement.

Started taking therapeutic Metamucil per dr's instructions at annual check-up....

Yea, that'll make you feel old!

I got an invitation to join AARP when I was nineteen years old.

I just had a horrible thought: What if that young man gave up his seat because I looked pregnant?? :(

Ha, I've been getting them since I was around 13 or 14. That's what I get for being named after 3 great-grandmothers! My parents, of course, never received a thing. I think it was the first junk mail I ever received.

I remember my friends going to the campus computer center -- at 2 a.m., no less -- with stacks of punch cards to run their programs. If the programs failed, my friends would have to go through each card and try to figure which was the wrong card.

VandalSquirrel, I come from a family of librarians, who feel that librarianship lost so much when card catalogues gave way to computer screens

When Survivor organizes the tribes by age and I realize I'd be on the geezer tribe, I feel old.
