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!

Where do I begin..........

Big Johnson shirts
Simpsons shirts
Ghostbusters shirts
Slap Bracelets
Nintendo's catch phrase "Now you're playing with power!"
The Power Glove
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
"Beverly Hills: 90210" "Melrose Place" and "The Heights"
Hearing "How do I Talk to an Angel" on the radio, loving it
Cassettes still had a big section in the music stores, and CDs came in long skinny boxes
Tight rolling my jeans
Looking at 18 year olds and feeling dirty about it
Sophmores in high school look like Seniors in college now
VH1
Actually watching music videos, let alone finding ANY good ones.
Making compilation tapes from music on the radio
"Wang Chung"ing
Hootie and the Blowfish all of a sudden sucked
MTV "News" "Unplugged" "Alternative Nation" and "120 Minutes" existed
The very first America Online commercial where the guy was just chatting with his new kayaking buddies
Encyclopedia Brittanica
Encyclopedia Brown
USA Cartoon Express
Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo is the ONLY acceptable dance movie EVER
Windows 3.1 was a major upgrade, that had a 3.5 AND a 5.1 floppy
Anime wasn't a known term





Okay there's LOTS more but you get the idea. Older people can come up with their era times, but this one is mine.

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 )

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

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.

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?
PostPosted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:38 pm


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.

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 ;_;
