Chatting with a young woman cashier about technology, she said, "It's even hard for me to keep up with it all." Like she can just imagine how horrible it must be for an oldster like me! I take no offense. I just laugh. I'm sure I said a few things in my day too.

Another young woman commented on how she liked my wedding rings--"I just love vintage jewelry." Huh? Maybe I'm vintage, but my rings are NOT! LOL!

OJ reminds me:

Rosemary Clooney is George's aunt!

I was brought up to always have a dime in my pocket or shoe for emergencies. I still carry a dime - why? Just a lifelong habit I guess :-)
When a local teacher asked if her students could interview me for their [ancient?] history class as someone who "remembered" President Kennedy's assassination. Trying to explain that no, we had Walter Cronkite in B/W, not online in real-time, etc.

I don't know if this qualifies for this or not. Last Friday night I worked with a lady who was retiring that night. She is almost 70. The next morning one of the workers who is 21 said to me that someone had done something wrong the night before. She said I don't know if it was you or one of the younger girls. I laughed and said I was the youngest one working, since it was only the retiree and I working and I am only 63.

a woman noticed my Coach handbag and said "Oh, I love vintage bags. Yours looks like it came from the 70's." It did, I bought it new in 1974. Tho I haven't used it constantly all that time.

I was looking at some of the newer autos parked at a function I attended over the weekend and then remembered that I had learned to drive in a Model A Ford (my Dad's) and I owned another Model A during my Junior and Senior years in high school. That's how I know that the Model As had bad brakes if not well maintained, and that the parking brake was truly an emergency brake. It was enough to turn my hair gray - Yikes! My hair is gray.

I feel old when something is referred to as "an historic moment in our national history" -- and I was living at the time.

Of course, more "historic moments" are relatively recent in a nation as young as the US. (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.)

I'm in my late 30's and a few months ago I was watching a segment on the news about a scientist who had died of cancer. He was in his 70's. They showed a clip of him from the 90's and I said to my husband, he looks so young in that clip and that's not even that long ago. He looks at me and says, "that was 20 years ago". We both started laughing.
Then there is when your children pass you in height. That always seems to speed up time.

When Opie became an empty nester! Also, when my older son turned 50....... Oh my!

Not exactly the same, but it has to do with my new car. We have always owned out cars and DH was always proud of making sure they were up and running. But, he leased a car three years ago and it seems like the best option.

I couldn't believe how nicely my new Ford Escape handles and all the whistle and bells. All these things of course have been around for years, but I didn't have a clue.

I remember my Mom's response when I commented to her on my 40th birthday saying, "40, I feel so old"! She replied, "so how old do you think that makes me feel?"

This year my daughter on her 55th birthday said something to the effect that she had reached the speed limit! Now I really feel old.

I remember when I was in college, a magazine called "Life" (big deal then, no longer published) had it's' cover story about a famous actress turning 40 years old. It was about Elizabeth Taylor, who died just a few years ago at over 80!

Many years ago, I remember talking to a mother about our PTA meeting and asked if she would be attending. She replied that her husband liked her home at night and then tried to explain his insistence on that with "I married an older man. He's 35."

I remember when our older daughter and her DH were house hunting several years ago, and her comments to her brother about why one house's decor just did not appeal to them--"It's so '80s!" What does she mean by that? We still live in the house we bought in 1978, and to me it is still my new house!

Some of my co-workers were born in the 90's. I feel like people born in the 90's should still be in elementary school!

I was watching a parade a few years ago and one of the vintage cars was a '57 chevy. That was the car my husband had when we got married. Wish we still had it.

Our trash is collected every Thursday morning so I put it out Wednesday evening...I told my husband every time I turn around it's Wednesday again....how fast time flies.

When you notice "A Christmas Story" is in the "classics" section of Netflix, and realize that's because it was made 32 years ago.

Your new doctor, dentist, banker...all look about twelve years old.

Well, folks, just wait until you're 92! Many of the residents in my Senior complex don't remember things that I do, for instance, WW2.

Two of my daughters and their husbands are now retired so they are Seniors too, I guess.

No wonder I get tired just trying to do a little housework around here. I'm getting quite good at resting in between tasks.

I went to the engagement party of my neighbor's daughter who was going to marry a marine stationed at the local marine corps. We were sitting around enjoying refreshments, and all these young boys came into the room. My neighbor's sister looked at me and said, "This is what's protecting our country?" Yep! Little boys!

what gets me is watching movies which are pre-cell phone. Those cell phones have changed everything in our lives -- get to a pay phone to call the police? what?

Violet, or in the books we read. Seems most don't have cell phones and are all ways looking for a phone book!

'Your new doctor, dentist, banker...all look about twelve years old'

& the judges are 14!

At one time we had a judge named Chad;

people named Chad are too young to be judges.

People named Chad should be in school, & next summer they can take driver's ed!

Yes! I saw a recent picture of Burt Reynolds - OMG - he looks horribly old - He's 79 years old - I'm 65 and now I FEEL really old! LOL

Sylviatexas1, DH was 86 last year when we first saw his surgeon, Jason, at his office. Brochure had picture of him and DH said that he looked SO young. I told him that anyone named "Jason" would be young LOL. BTW, magnificent surgeon, thank God.

"Jason" eeeeeeek!

My homemaking teacher was Miss Quinlan.

Homemaking teachers today are named Jennifer & Ashley.

Eeeeeeeek!

A few years ago right after my Mom died (the last of her siblings and friends) and was sitting at a young cousin's baby shower with my 3 cousins (my age group) and 2 young gal relatives came up and asked us if they could fix us a plate of food. Oy. It hit me "we're the old ladies now". Was only yesterday that we were fixing our Moms a plate so they didn't have to get up.

My cousins and I all looked at each other and laughed and got up to refill our wine glasses :)

woodie2 -- At least your family's good manners have survived, with the young'uns offering to serve their elders.

Thank you for that nice comment, Chisue (is that Chicago Sue?) These girls are good people with good intentions they just didn't realize that we're not old ladies LOL. Silly them.
