dicklont Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 When I talk with younger collegues about the winter olympics and winners/loser in previous events. They don't know their names, and when I explain it to them they say that they were not even born at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Watching Maurice Chevalier sing "I'm glad I'm not young anymore" and thinking that the man has a point. Everyone speaks of the trauma of turning forty so I was prepared for that. When my older daughter turned forty, that one sort of snuck up on me. She will be fifty in a year and a half. I'm bracing myself for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 what makes me feel old is the 2 day hangover after driking too much, instead of just drinking more and going out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlall Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Read this on another forum (of people mostly my age or younger), but it is very true...

kenberg Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 OK, here is a real answer. Yesterday I got an invitation to join Facebook. I have received these before but ignored them. This was from someone who is also involved in a literacy project I participate in so I screwed up my courage and signed on. Now I have to manage my links. My younger daughter is in touch with my ex-wife's husband's daughter. Somehow, unintentionally, this young lady (in her forties, young by the standards of this thread) is now on my friends list. I assume I somehow caused this to happen. In fact I like her but this is not a relationship I had planned on maintaining, it's structurally a little weird to my 1950s brain. Yes I get a kick out of "Modern Family" on the tv. I am thinking of deleting her as a friend but it's not that I want to insult her. These new social norms are beyond my capacity. I feel old.

mycroft Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I have seen more Seinfeld parody (in fact, more Seinfeld parody on History Bites) than I have Seinfeld. For me, it is totally unfunny. Therefore, I am likely to not get obvious Seinfeld references...and I'm definitely old enough to get it (I just decided to emulate Jack Benny, in fact - yes, that's older than I am, but by the magic of Old Radio Shows...) Now we'll see if *I'm* too old, by the reaction to the Obvious Reference (although I put in a reference to "thirty-seven eight by ten colour glossy pictures" in a ticket at work last week. Didn't get any reaction to that, either. And yes, that *also* is older than me, but still). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I ran into a guy that had been playing pro on the tournament trail off and on for 25 years. He said, "When I started, I was the youngest player in the room." Looked around and said, "I still am!" Playing F2F bridge makes me feel old but we've found an antidote. Teaching 10 year olds to ruff and slough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel old when people around me don't laugh at my obvious Seinfeld references :( In the other forum, remembering this: http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9247/pagerr.jpg this: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/9270/hdfloppy.jpg and the brick: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9243/brick.jpg were enough to make people feel old. I'm happy to report I don't laugh at Seinfeld references.
