You know your getting old when this happens.

When you do not know how to work you 20 year olds radio because there are too many buttons and you complain about the noise level.

rofl good one

when you have to explain to your child what the game PONG is lol

When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.

I guess I'm not the only one to remember the old Atari 2600 games console where the games consisted of moving brick shaped things around brick shaped obstacle courses avoiding other brick shaped things, all the while being amazed at how great the graphics were.

It's odd to think that the console I regarded as so cool as a child now has antique value to collectors. Presumably other older folks... hard to see today's teenagers regarding them with anything other than contempt.

When I bend down to tie my shoe and try to think of other things to do while I'm down there.

When you find going to an antiques roadshow is as exciting as how you felt about going to a Duran Duran concert.

You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales ". (Woo ooh!)

You know you’re getting old when you finally get it all together and can’t remember where you put it.

LOL!!!! Nice one!

When you say 'hello' to someone in the street and it takes the whole journey home before you remember what their name is.

You miss place your keys, or when your called mame

Yah--but I've been trying to remember this one woman's name for over 4 months now!!

When you recall how your car's music system was an AM/FM radio.

I'll do you one better--does anyone remember the little crystal radios?? Little round things with an earjack. I'd dive under the covers and play with it and listen to all sorts of music I was not supposed to listen too! Do you remember the Wolfman??--really blew me away when I found out he was white!

When you download some music and put it on a CD, and you say you've "taped" it off your computer

 

[wolfee]

When you get fed up of these new modern digital radios cos they don't have dials that you can twiddle around so you can find exciting foreign stations after dark - and you even miss those noises made by the interference at night, and even those funny bleepy things on shortwave - what's the point of having a radio that doesn't have any of that????

 

[1Sam24:12]

40's old???

I've done that but with tv shows.

 

[wolfee]

When your kids ask you about those funny big CDs

When you still think 80s music is futuristic

When you see things you remember from childhood popping up in history books

When you go into an electrical shop and you see all these weird gadgets and you think - "What on earth are those???"!!
Where are all the tape decks??

Or when you go weak with excitement at the thought of going to a garden centre, and you would prefer to do that rather than going to a rock concert

When every conversation you have revolved around someone's illness or death.

I grew up in a small town where most people seemed to live to a really great age. I think what kept them young for so long was meeting up in town and talking about their diseases all day
