1. When you ask MatchDoctor to give a listing of who's online, you have it give the listing in age descending order.
2. When you go out to a resturant, most of the time your old enough to be the waiter-waitresses father or mother. Ouch that hurts....
Any others????? ;)

I hang out with sixty and seventy year olds, so at fiftyfour I'm still the youngster. Truly,

that reminds me of my uncle that saw a tent sale ad in the news paper. At the time he was wanting to buy a camping tent. So he and my dad go to the store, and he looks around and can not find any tents, so he walks up to the employee and aks where the tents are...of course there were no tents.
The funniest thing is that this uncle feels that he is the brains of the extended family, and he feels he is the classical music expert, the brains of all brains etc etc.

I knew I was getting old when a former student bought me a drink, and they were not even born when I was in high school.

To me I think you know your getting out when you are usually a night owl, and you start going to bed at 9:30 when you parents used to go to bed.... Grrr does that mean I am getting old? Although I haven't been going to bed that early as of late, or is it because I was so used to not working, then I got a job and have to work between 8 and 10 hours a day? And getting up at 6am just isn't my thing.....

When you go to a store or you hold a door open for a younger person and they call you Mam.  Or you start to refer to younger people (early to mid 20's) as kids

...and there was that time when I overheard a conversation at the pool hall. One younger person said to the other, "Wasn't Paul McCartney in a band before Wings?"
It was time to go home.

My daughter does a great job of reminding me of my age.. she finds it amazing that I grew up with B&W television, AM radio only,No Computer, No CD player, She makes fun of me since still have a turntable. She thinks is funny that I watched shows like the Brady Bunch and the Partridge Family when they were on in prime time. She thinks that 70s show is a peice of ancient history , and thinks its odd that I can relate to the show. Yes I am old !!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend emailed me this morning. She and her husband went to an anti-war protest yesterday. I was car shopping so was unable to paritcipate. She said the students were announcing the people participating in the event. Students, senior citizens.... My friend and her husband looked around for the senior citizens. After a moment, they realized they were them.

Aging Gracefully Barbie ~ Finally, a Barbie I can relate to!
Yes even Barbie knows she is getting old
Bifocal Barbie - Comes with her own set of blended-lens fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain and large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.
Hot Flash Barbie - Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her forehead. Comes with hand-held fan and tiny tissues.
Facial Hair Barbie -
As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.
Flabby Arms Barbie -
Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with these new, roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front, too -- muumuus with tummy-support panels are included.
Bunion Barbie - Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry mules.
No-More-Wrinkles Barbie -
Erase those pesky crow's-feet and lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.
Soccer Mom Barbie -
All that experience as a cheer-leader is really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to root for Ashley and Ken, Jr. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white, and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.
Mid-life Crisis Barbie -
It's time to ditch Ken.Barbie needs a change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Includes a real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."
Divorced Barbie -
Sells for $199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.
Recovery Barbie -
Too many parties have finally caught up with the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance steps. Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.
Post-Menopausal Barbie - This Barbie wets her pants when she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.
