Happened today, I guess I have been in denial for awhile, but it is too far gone to put it off any longer.
We moved from one state to another, and I went on down to the DMV to register the cars and do all that official type stuff. I handed over all the title paperwork for our various cars and when she got to my pickup, she asked if I would like to register it as an antique...
An antique...that can't be right. I mean, it was a few years old when I bought it - but I was still in high school then. It can't be an antique...
Yep, the first car I bought. The one which I had all my adult life and then some, is officially an antique. Apparently, so am I.
Now excuse me, while I try to figure out what the heck shuffle board is and how to play it.  |

Won't have that problem. Mine is in full retreat - has been since I was 21. They don't turn grey, they just fall out. |

1. when someone younger than me made General
2. when I saw a female General (or in this case Admiral) that looked really good :-) (In this case, I first met her as a Lt Commander, and she was good looking then, too.)
(Both these happened about 10 years ago...)

When I turned 64 the weight started accumulating...and now no matter what I do it won't come off.
They tell me thats what happens when you get old.
At least I still have my mind....I think....[:-eyebrows]

I refuse to give in, working on the cars these days seems to take a few more days to recover. I will be 51 this year but a swear i am 25 still.

When the grocery clerk gave me the senior discount -- without having the simple common courtesy to ask first! That was cold! [:-cold] And yes, I qualified for the discount.... [:-boggled]
Or maybe it was when I realized that I was receiving first-class, high-quality dental care from a high school classmate of my younger son.... [:-boggled]

| I was watching an interview with a WWII veteran who was 87. That prompted me to calculate .. that someone my age NOW .. the year I was born .. would himself have been born in 1888. Sheesh. |

I didn't think about it much, till I read this thread. Now I feel old! My oldest son is older than you, John.

Sean,
I'll be perfectly honest with you.
When I joined the Forum in 2008, I was 28.
I just checked my profile and I am still 28.
I guess I'll never get old.
Yuck, yuck, yuck.....I wish.

| Old, I'm not old. It just takes me several moments longer to crawl out from underneath my pickup truck when I'm changing the oil[:-eyebrows][:-eyebrows][:-eyebrows] |

When I had no idea who the people in pop culture were. I would see some pretty girl on TV and ask my wife who it was. She would tell me, and I would just go OK, and walk away still having no clue.

When did you first realize you were old?
