You've still got vinyl 78s of Johnny Ray's "Cry", Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Don't be Cruel" and Tommy Steel's "Water,Water Everywhere" and what's more, you still own a record player that will play them!!!

Yep, I believe that would definately classify that you are "getting old":eek:

Wish I still had my little green record player my granny got me for chirstmas when I was about 8 yrs old.....that was the good old days:amen:

10. You notice you're an inch or two shorter than you were 20 years ago.
9. You're asking whether it's better to get bifocals or reading glasses.
8. You go to the weight room and have to ask some to lift the barbells off of you.
7. You pick out some pants while shopping and the salesman say's you need a bigger size.
6. You're playing cul-de-sac football with your 11 yr old and his friends and it's time for a half time break after 5 minutes.
5. You drink one beer and have to ask someone else to drive.
4. The local dance hall announces Disco night and you get excited.
3. You actually eat brussel sprouts.
2. You bought something on T.V. from Ronco
1. You place that call to Enzyte.

You still have an 8 track tape deck (and it works)
You have a reel to reel deck, but no DVD.
You still have your old Beta VCR, and wonder why the video store doesn't carry Beta anymore or even VHS for that matter.
Your record player still plays 78rpm records and you have some.

You get annoyed when you hear cars drive by with music blaring out the windows...
You are amazed when you hear the "young kids" are heading out to START their evening at 9 pm...that's supposed to be bedtime!! :o
You find yourself laughing at ALL of these because they are oh so true!! :p

You haven't stayed up New Years Eve for the last 5 Years.
You are continually turning up the TV volume and finally turn on closed caption.
You have your son set the clock on that newfangled electronic device.
Your bones and joints tell you of impending weather changes.
You can't decode cell phone IM messages.

Hey Fab 40 friends, gotta tell you this one that made me "feel my age"...

I work at a hospital, and a couple weeks ago we had a high school senior as an intern. She was born in '88 and so we were asking her about news events from not that long ago. She knew all about Power Point and functions of computers, but had no idea what an LP was. She knew all about rock groups i'd never heard of, but didn't know who John Lennon was. But what really gave me premature gray hairs...she had never heard of OJ Simpson!

I felt like I was an old relic when done talking to her.
