| I went to the Lionel Richie concert Friday night. I was not a huge fan, but the songs keep playing in my head and bringing back so many memories. You couldn't escape his or the Commodores songs, and now I'm nostalgic for my awesome childhood and youth. And I feel old. |

OMG yes, it was! I grew up there and really can appreciate it way more as an old fart now! |

Several years ago we visited my college town. I was at the drive in movie with my kids, waiting in line for snacks, and in front of me was a very excited new college freshman. We started chatting and I told him when I graduated. He pointed out "Wow, I wasn't born then!" Yep, I'm old. |

Every time they announce that a rock star is celebrating a milestone birthday.
Mick Jagger is 80. I still see Mick as a sexy rock star. In fact, he's the same age as my mother, who is...old. |

Just thinking about stuff like when people had beepers before cell phones were a thing, and you’d page someone “911” to let them know it was important and to call you back right away.

| I'm smarter and happier than I've ever been. It makes me feel old and old is good. You couldn't pay me to be 20 again. |

it seems like the most idyllic place to grow up but I can see how small it must've been to a teen. Its like something out of a lifetime original movie! reminds me of the college thread comparing Midwestern lifestyle and east coast college hustle. |

The most unimaginable part being that since we didn't have cell phones, when your parents ran late to pick you up anywhere, you simply waited. You had faith they would show up and the world didn't end. |

| Paid 27$ for a burger fries and a shake (yes it was a large) and thought it was outrageous. Then I realized it's not 1984 when a burger at Wendys was four dollars (maybe two dollars I don't know I'm too old to remember) |

As a teenager, I remember telling my Mom to think of a price that she thought was reasonable— “then add a zero ”. I’m now at the point where I double my own imagined “reasonable “ prices. |

| Going into a hospital and seeing all these doctors in their late 20s and early 30s. The guy doing my vasectomy is a decade younger than me! |

An intern (at least 5 years ago, this isn't even a new story) wore a Nirvana t-shirt to some casual weekend activity. I made some comment about when Kurt Cobain killed himself and what a huge deal it was at my high school. She had a funny look ... and I said, wait, you weren't even born yet, were you? Nope. She's wearing a t-shirt for a band that was literally dead before she was even born, it's like some retro old-school thing.
I remember my mom playing music from the 60s and 70s, thinking how OLD it sounded. But 90s music still sounds good to me now! |
