Let's try a new game. It's aimed mainly at the 'adults' of the forum. (But please join in if you feel you're aging! )
Do you sometimes find yourself say or do things you never thought you would and then think "Gee, I must be getting older"? If so, then this game is for you. Post away if you dare!
You know you're getting older when you suddenly realize that you hate most popular music as much as your parents hated the rock music you listened to as a teenager.

You know you are getting older when the clothes you wore as a child have been in and out of fashion at least once since then.

1. When you sit down to put on underwear.
2. When you shave/otherwise de-hair your ears.
3. When you realise that you could be parent to the other members in your fencing 3-person team.
4. When you go to PTA one time too many.
One time I found myself at training being #2 in age where many of the other could have been my children. OTOH, #1 in age at that very time could biologically have been my grandfather. Would have been tight, but yes, possible.
You know your'e old when you read this thread, and start thinking how true all of this is...

-When you hear someone call a remote control a "clicker", but they don't know why.
-When you give someone the universal "crank" sign for rolling down their window and they don't know what you mean.

You know you're getting older when you suddenly realize that you hate most popular music as much as your parents hated the rock music you listened to as a teenager.
You know when you're old:
1) when it takes you 2 days to recover from fencing PRACTICE.
2) you have more grey hair than you care to pluck.
3) kids tell you when they were born and you remembering toasting a beer (legally) to something or another.
4) you REMEMBER at least 4 different US presidents.
5) you used to play music on an 33 rpm LP, or a 45 SP (72's are too old for me).
6) you remember seeing the real Elvis on TV.
(and the list could go on...)

the fall of the Berlin Wall was a significant emotional event in your adult life, and you realize there are lots of young adults who barely remember it... (or understand its significance).

When the first TV you can remember was Black and White.
How about when the B/W was NEW and only 1 channel!!! Neighbors came over to watch too. Oh, and someone had to constantly mess with the antenna/rabbit ears.
