What made you feel old?

[Shiela_M]

That was nearly 70 years ago

Pretty amazing when you think about it.. regardless of all the changes over the past seven decades, there have been three things you could always count on.. death, taxes, and Queen Elizabeth.

We germans are tough. We refuse to go down... well, in certain ways anyway... you know what I mean.

I jokingly tell people my wife was three when I graduated from college. “But she was a very mature three.”

My Peruvian was 7 when I graduated college, 3 when I graduated high school.

But here’s the fun part, my first wife when she was 24 had a daughter from a previous marriage, who years later became my stepdaughter.  My stepdaughter and my Peruvian are the same age.

First time I felt old, I was actually only 26.

I'm was wearing a Nine Inch Nails T-Shirt I had owned since I was about 15, it was a nice summers day and I passed a group of teenagers just chilling and enjoying the sun. As I passed, one of them said to her friend "That old guy is wearing a NIN T-shirt"

I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

But I think the first sign is when you actually lose interest in what music is in the charts. When I was a teenager, I listened religiously, overnight, I stopped caring.

Also my kids don't believe that there was once only three TV channels in the UK.

To be fair, to teenagers anyone over 25 is often 'old'

I was at a bar with my buddy Ben. I spotted a couple of young ladies at a table behind.

I looked at him and nodded towards them. "What you think?"

Ben had a sly glance. "Mmm, very nice. What YOU think?"

"I'd say for a couple of dads we've still got it."

"Want to prove it?"

"Sure."

We strolled over. It was a bar area with those high tables, which kind of it makes it easier to stroll up, and stroll away casually if you get the death stare or pushoff.

"Hi, I'm Colin, this is Ben. Do you mind if we join you for a chat?"

They looked at each other. "Sure, why not."

(Yes!)

The pretty blonde put her hand on my upper arm. "Hey, nice shirt."

I smiled at her. "Thanks."

"Yeah, my dad's got one just like it..."

I’ve told this story before, but I was flirting with a young 20-something and she said, “Oh you are great! I’ve got a gorgeous friend you have to let me set you up with... she’s just like a mother to me.”

I took my grandchildren mountain biking yesterday, and I couldn't cycle up the hills.

Watching the funeral of Prince Philip this morning reminded me that he and the Queen have been in the news for most my life. Now just short of 100, he's past leaving the Queen to continue on alone.

I was surprised how sad it made me to watch her walk to the chapel alone, clad in black and stooped over. Yes, eyes were misty.

I've mentioned here before that the first time I saw television was Queen Elizabeth's coronation. I was a first grader and a classmate lived across the street from the school. Our class trooped over and squeezed into their living room to see the pomp of a coronation as only the British can do.

That was nearly 70 years ago, so yeah, damn I'm old.

Same here msslave. The thing I most remember is the huge Queen Of Tonga sitting proudly in her carriage in the pouring rain.

And I remember when there was only one

In all fairness, I'm also not designed to go uphill

There is no way I am giving up that easily :-)

Oh, you meant the mountain biking

Really, this makes me wonder why I don’t play music while I clean?
