Tell Us Something That Happened To You That Made You Feel Very Old.

[JRhoBurton]

I can no longer tune my guitars by ear. I made a thread on this, but I'm not going to bother looking it up. Hey, I'm old, I can't be expected to do that!

Another one. I was at a John Densmore book signing a couple years ago, had a good time talking to folks in line, but no one knew what the Doors RtR tape was that I had for him to sign.

I went to the restroom and emptied the bladder. I knocked it on the side of the urinal a few times and zipped up....walked a few paces out the restroom and peed a little bit more......sigh....

I don't remember.

I don't remember.

Btw, does Noah have all of the animals on the ark yet? Thar's a big ol' storm a comin'! Better get in!

I'm 44, going on 144.

Whatever you do, DO NOT look at yourself in a quick-mart bathroom mirror. Those fluorescent lights will make you look positively disgusting.

See 3:59 in...

Gnesen, while I've experienced this lighting phenomenon first hand, ol' George wasn't far from my mind when I posted that.

RIP, my man. You were less a comedian and more a prophet.

The other day I was thinking about how I came to my present church in 1985 when I moved here for grad school. Now the church was built in 1963, which just happens to be the year I was born, but so what? Well, it turns out that not only is that a long time ago, but I've also been a member here for over half of the lifetime of the parish (and me). Where did the time go?

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

My roommate and his gf call me "grandpa".

I used to have red hair and beard, but my beard turned white way before my hair did. I was delivering my mail route and walked up to a house where two little kids were playing. As I walked past them, one said to me "You're old!"

I laughed and asked him why he thought I was old.

He answered "You have white hair and wrinkles. You're old."

To me it's a sign that I survived what life threw at me. But it did make me feel old.

My balls finally hit the commode water. Damn gravity all to Hell.

My roommate and his gf call me "grandpa".

People at my office call me that sometimes. I don't feel old, but to youngsters starting a career in their 20s, I'm ancient.

My balls finally hit the commode water. Damn gravity all to Hell.

Oh, the humanity. I think they have trusses for that now.

Maybe you could mod one of these.

The way my kids seem to think that if it isn't on an electronic screen, it doesn't exist.

I am sitting here looking at a Yamaha CR-2020 and a couple of pair of JBLs (L-100s and 4312C monitors) and it is just like they were brand new.

Play the right music and those could make you feel young again.

I work at a plastic, (injection molding co.) today, a tech/setup guy asked if the parts were to hot for my, "old man hands".

There are signs at Casa Wildcat that El Gato is aging a bit...

• When I walk down a flight of stairs first thing in the morning, it sounds like firecrackers going off around me.

• Having to read anything results in a five minute search for the reading glasses.

• When I leave the house, I have to plan my trips around having access to a restroom if I'm away from home for too long.

• My youngest turned 18 last month. I swore she was in kindergarten last year.

• Walking into a room, and forgetting why I went in there in the first place.
