Sign that you are getting old #19545

[RJK1981]

Books don't make me feel old yet, but certain music does. Dave Matthew's Band's Crash makes me feel old when I hear it because I remember being in Jr. High when that was first on the radio (I'm 30)

[Teriw]

Ah, Tom & Teri ... the bliss of youth ... I remember .... I remember .... nope ... I don't ... dammit !!!!

Don't worry I dont remember much of anything either. lol. you don't have to be old to have the symptoms of it I am 25 and have Memory Loss, Hearing loss, Bone loss, knees that dislocate for no reason, arthris, carpel tunnel and the worst of them alll....HEARTBURN....lol. I was not joking when I said I feel old.

[saginawhorror]

another 25 year old. But with medical issues i feel like i'm a 100 sometimes!

[Tito_Villa]

Not just 25 either but a quater of a century old!!! Now that is ancient!!!

[srboone]

So, what is 50? Decrepit?

[Tito_Villa]

I would say mature? Like a nice cheese My Dad is about to turn 50 and i'm going out tonight to celebrate my Grandmother's 80th!

[srboone]

Mature. As in preserved?

[Tito_Villa]

Nope, i really should have a way with words but i need more sleep, getting up early at the moment is killing me...

50 is still very young. And someone mentioned Dave Matthews from high school? Where were you when John Bonham died? Or how about remembering when "Hotel California" was released? Followed closely by "Rumours". And, God, wasn't Boston's first album right about that time too. Radio was once so great.

Being not quite 50 the one that sticks out to me was when Bon Scott died. I was on my way to a friends house after school and Highway to Hell was playing, when the song ended there was a moment and the DJ came on and announced that he had died.

It will be by the time I get there. Maybe sooner at this rate

So, what is 50? Decrepit?

Better not be - I'm six weeks away for this ... landmark ... and, thus far, most of the faculties still function not too badly, still have my own hair, teeth and most of my internal organs, don't have the urge to collect cats or teaspoons from foreign countries, play lawn bowls, bake scones, garden, dye the gray, pluck excess nose/ear hair on a semi-regular basis, complain about the deviltry in rock music or watch anything on TCM !!!!

[TerryE]

Oh, Teri, don't be a gloomy gus. I'm quickly approaching that mark, but asides from putting on too many pounds in the past decade or so, I'm feeling quite alright.

Oh another question for the group, to see how old you are... Do you remember where you were when Reagan was shot? I was home sick from school and got to watch the whole thing unfurl on CNN (And that daylong coverage on CNN was a fairly new experience then).

[Teriw]

Is it a sign of my age that I have no idea what Lawn Bowls is or is it because I am Canadian? lol

[srboone]

Dammit! TCM is a symptom of decrepitude????? I've seen 90% of what they show!
