You know you're getting old when...

[Timothy F. Lewis]

So I'm only 28 but you know you're getting old when someone says they were born in the 2000s

Seth, I’m giving you the raspberries! That how old I am!

You get carded buying beer, realize you're covering up part of your birthdate with your finger, and apologize. The cashier says 'It's fine, I could see the 19'.

When ya can't stay up past 10 am to watch the end of exciting football games. I missed Bama getting beat last night.

If 70 yo is the new 50 yo, then 9pm is the new midnight.

Ouch.......

 

[LMichaels]

Of when you have to enter your birthdate in one of those forms online and you gotta spin that MF like wheel of fortune

 

[Rich Dahl]

Doesn't get any better than that Larry.

 

[LMichaels]

Everyone I know says she's a mini clone of my wife. Thoughts?

 

[Bob Correll]

When you hear Chubby Checker just turned 80.
If I tried to Twist nowadays I'd end up in traction.

 

[Rich Dahl]

The only time I do the Twist is when I try to get my pants on in the morning.

Hi Seth, many, many years ago, I used to read a heck of a lot of si-fi. So many of the stories took place in the 2000's. That was SOO FAR IN THE FUTURE. Here we are now, about to enter 2022 real soon. THAT is very hard for me to accept. Capt. Kirk going up into space soon does not help any. lol

My g/f & I are incurable SF addicts. Wish I had more time to read these days.

One of the things that I always appreciated about RAH's stuff is that generally you didn't get much detail about the general time. The Lazarus Long stuff is an exception, and that all started the better part of 100 years ago.

I do remember that I enjoyed reading stories that went back in time as opposed to going into the future. Who wrote what, I don't remember. I have read quite a lot of books in my lifetime. lol.

2000s? My grandkids were born in the '80s.

You know your old when all your kids are retired.

Between my g/f & I, our combined SF libraries fill 5 bookcases, each 3'x7'.

You can remember when all that Amazon sold was books.

(Actually, wasn't all that long ago, but I know some people that don't know or remember that.)

 

[timothy]

Or when all Netflix did was mail order DVD rentals ( 1998)

 

[DanHoo]

You remember getting a touch tone phone...



Even before your phone service was ready for touch tone phones.
