I actually just bought a couple 200 page CD holders for a bunch of movies & tv shows on CD I have I don’t feel like trashing yet but don’t want the boxes they came on

I never really listened to music on CDs tho.

I still have my CDs, DVDs, and VHSs! I don't plan on getting rid of them. We need to keep the hard copies of things because digital things are taken away or lost so easily.

I feel old when I'm watching sports on television and have distinct memories of the coaches as players, knowing exactly what positions they played and which teams they played for and when.

I’m feeling old at 69, but that is mostly health problems that are normal. Mentally, I haven’t changed much since 40, but it does take me a bit longer to learn new skills. Closing in on 40 was a time that was a little troubling. You are not old and not young, but you look at the future a bit differently and wonder more about life choices in ways you didn’t when 25. Don’t worry you have another 40 years or more, God willing.

So far I'm the oldest, WAY older than 69, buy not tellin'.

Wow, after reading this, I feel like I am probably the youngest here? I didn't realize how young I was until today! =O

My grandmother is 92. She's so old though that she can hardly do anything anymore. It breaks my heart seeing her like that. I am actually amazed she is still alive, given her worsening condition. She's my only living grandparent, and I thank God every day she's still alive that I get to talk to her from time to time.

She once wisely told me: "You're only as old as you feel!" Because age is just a number, right?

Wise words from a lady as old as prehistory.

And that was when they were playing in their school teams... :scratch:

Never mind my post didn't go along with my pledge to be a ray of sunshine....

I'm so old that every time I go to the doctor, some staff person tries to give me a stack of papers on advanced directives

Any one else?

I graduated from high school in 1982. Believe me, you are young

My youngest of four was 2 that year.

I think we are the same age. Which is not old, by the way. But yeah, I definitely get it. LOL.

Me too! Unfortunately, many VHS tapes tend to degrade rather quickly

Three of my grandparents would be in their 100s, and one would be 97, if she was still living. My last grandparent died in March 2016. Seems like yesterday.

Sadly, all my of my great aunts and great uncles are also deceased.

I listened to CDs all the time until I moved onto the iPod! Now, I just use YouTube to listen to music!

Don't worry, they will realise that there are other people about who know what a CD is, and then they will just think you are older than them.

I noticed that I was getting older when younger people wanted to know about the excitement on the day my Dad came home with a colour tv. Then some years later I encountered a ten year old who did not believe black and white tv had ever been an actual thing.

Yikes! Has he never seen The Wizard of Oz? Or the Andy Griffith show?

You're a spring chicken Riley! My parents would now be in their 100's if they'd still been alive, let alone grandparents.

They'd have been in their 140's!

I’m still shocked I’m no longer in my 20s

My parents are in their 60s and 70s.

If my dad’s oldest brother was alive, he would be 85 (or 86).

I am older than I ever have been before, and tomorrow I'll be even older.

Bob Crowley · Mar 16, 2026

I'm in your parents age range, just over 70.
