šŸ’„ ARE YOU OLD? šŸ’„

Thatā€™s pretty cool. And I guess youā€™re one of the few people who could successfully use shipoopi in a sentence, and you know exactly which state Gary is in. :wink:

I donā€™t have any special involvement, I just heard it (on the LP) about fifty times while I was growing up. And I know what my mental soundtrack will be for today.

  1. Yes,
  2. At a certain age there is a list.

Reading the ā€˜post your animal picturesā€™ topic. Posting a pic from the youngest one. And getting all teary about thinking about all the other cats, dogs, small pets, loved and gone.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

The sun is the same in a relative way but youā€™re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorterā€¦ never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled linesā€¦

The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought Iā€™d something more to say.

Yes. I can remember when people used encyclopedias, land lines, thought Bill Cosby was a role model, and had to get our porn in print form.

I can remember when my phone number was a WORD plus 5 digits! And calling long distance meant dialing ā€œ0ā€ and telling the operator where you wanted to call and they would call you back when theyā€™d made the connection for you.

About a month ago I was watching a couple of Nick & Nora movies (the Thin Man series) and there was an off-hand comment during one of their parties which resulted in the camera stopping for a second to register the subtle bug-eye look on Nickā€™s face before continuing to pan around the room. The comment? A drunk-to-the-point-of-sentimentality man asked Nick if he could call his mother, to which of course Nick said yes, and then you hear the man saying ā€œhello operator, Iā€™d like to call Californiaā€. Back in those days (before my time!), a 5 minute call from one coast to the other could cost nearly as much as a monthly rent payment. And now, most people watching that movie wouldnā€™t even realize the joke.

I am old because when I say ā€œermahgerdā€, Iā€™m not trying to join in with the gersberms meme. Iā€™m just complaining about how my GERD is flaring up again. Pass the omeprazole, please.

  1. Iā€™m old, and will be for the rest of my life.
  2. I turned 30.

My wife explained when I finally turned 30, that unlike all the previous fretful birthday aging crises I had been through beforeā€¦ This was actually the one that counted. 30 was actually old. To everyone under 30, I was old. Everyone over 30 was already old.

30 is old?
