I started feeling old when I learned that one’s thirties were considered “middle-age”!!

I realized I was old when I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix live in Seattle in 1968!

I realized I was getting old when I looked at the vital statistics of a Playboy centerfold. And realized that I had graduated from collage before she was born.

Amen!

my teeth are older than my dentist…

I started to feel old when the “young” doctor I had started looking “old” himself.

Considering the ages my father and brother died at, 25 would be middle-aged. I’m almost 70 and the actuarial tables say I’m good for mid-90s.

Ah yes. Twelve year olds in lab coats.

Started feeling older when I noticed that I now have my grandmother’s skin.

What I really hate is that turkey waddle under my chin. Most things can be covered up or disguised. Not that. It’s right there in your face!!!LOL

Yeah, that came to me as a real downer!

I realized I was old when I heard my favorite song from high school playing on a radio, and it took me back to a moment when I’d heard the song and it took me back.

I realized I was getting old when, while umpiring a sandlot baseball game, I tried to console a batter who had struck out. I told him even Willie Mays struck out every now and then. The kid then proceeded to ask “Who’s Willie Mays”?
