The way the underside of my chin is looking is a wake up call. I think masks have made my underchin area more saggy. I am actively contemplating researching procedures. Probably won't but kind of tempted.

The first house I bought newly-built (1976) is now considered "Mid-Century Modern" ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/shocked.jpg.gif) My eldest is turning 40, HOW ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) I thought that I was still close to 40!

- When grocery store baggers call me ma’am and ask if I need help getting my items to the car - when I see my male high school classmates and realize they now totally look like their fathers - when, 10 years ago, (I was 40) , my aunt exclaimed, “OMG, my niece has crow’s feet! I feel old!” (I thought, “well, now I do too! ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) )

I am a hockey fan. This year every single player on the team is young enough to be my child. Several are even younger than my youngest who is 22. I found gray hairs in my eyebrows and a few of my eyelashes are gray. WTH? And like someone above mentioned, my DD wears some styles I wore at her age and they're considered retro. I told her if I ever see stirrup pants come back, I will cry. Okay, I had to go check the Stars roster. With the exception of Joe Pavelski, Blake Comeau and Anton Khudobin, they were all born after I got married. And those three could still be my kids. I just wouldn't have been married when I had them. And apparently because I have a garden flag.

Whole Foods plays the greatest hits from my high school years in-store. omg Whole Foods started playing Vacation by the Go Go’s yesterday and it was so hard not to completely dance in the aisle (as I grabbed my kombucha 😆) They were playing Tainted Love yesterday... more than a couple of us were clearly singing along behind our masks.

Getting old is like puberty in reverse. With puberty your body changes and you get boobs and pubes and it is exciting. Getting old you get saggy deflated boobs and thinning pubes and it ain't any fun!

I now feel badly for how many times I sent my two older sisters birthday cards that said, Another year older, another year closer to looking like mom.
I'm so turning into my mom.

I'm horrified by how old people who say they are my age look. I cannot possibly look that old. Yupppp. I keep forcing my kids to promise me that I don’t look that old.

I make an involuntary grunting noise when I get up off the floor I saw that on the Progressive commercial that other day and thought, yes, old people do that and then found myself doing it later that day. I laughed for way longer than I should have.

Today is my husband's birthday. I yelled, "Happy birthday!" while he got up early for work. He said, 'Thanks, and I guess it is a good one since I am on this side of the dirt." So there you have it all of you old people. You are on THIS side of the dirt.
Last night I dreamed I was buying a wedding dress and getting married to my second husband. (I am currently on the first one.) I was walking through maze to find it and there were clear plastic shower curtains on either side of me. The clerk told me I looked young for a second wedding (haha) and picked out a dress that looked like my first dress (in 1987-poofed sleeves-now making a huge comeback, thank you). So I am clearly dealing with aging in my sleep. I choose to ignore it when I am awake.

If kids these days like middle parts and mom jeans, it seems like they actually want to start dressing like their moms! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) I prefer side parts. But that's because the middle parts remind me of the 70s and Marcia Brady! And although I hate jeans and only one two pairs, they may be considered skinny jeans. Not sure because I buy all pants too big because I don't like tight fitting clothes. And I can't stand "mom jeans"! They are so 1990s to me, but my daughter bought a pair last year. I cringe when she wears them (haha!).

I often find myself going to bed at the same time I used to leave the house to go out on the weekend. My college daughter last weekend was going to her friends house to hang out after she picked up her other friend from work at 11:30pm!

I start many conversations with my small group of team members at work with “back in the olden days, before any of you were born, and I started working here”. I’ve been at my job since 1985. These coworkers are between 25 and 32. I feel ancient!

I watch these two Collage kids react to music they have never heard. Stuff like CCR, Bob Seger, Neal Young, you know all the good stuff. They don't even know who they are! I'm old.

On YouTube there are some younger people that listen to “older” music and record their reaction to them. Some of them have never heard Elvis Presley sing or have even heard of the Carpenters. That really makes me feel old!

That really makes me feel old! one of the videos I watched (the youtube channel is two guys who are twins, I think?) they were listening to Whitney Houston sing "I Will Always Love You" for the first time. THAT one *really* made me feel old. If they haven't ever listened to Luciano Pavarotti, or Dolly Parton, I can let that slide, since they're more 'specialty' genres of music. But Whitney Houston? c'mon, now, kids!! lol. it is really fun to watch their amazed reactions to the musicality of what they're listening to, though!

The twins listening to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" is amazing. All of us who have BTDT know the percussion explosion that's about to happen but their reaction to it is fantastic! Definitely worth a look!

I waited behind an older gentleman at the outdoor pharmacy window today. He reminded me of my dad - the way he stood it looked like he was half sitting, if you know what I mean. I felt very kindly toward him as he shuffled through every card in his wallet, looking for his discount card. He couldn't find his card so was going to call his wife. The pharmacy tech asked him his birthdate. He is two years younger than me.

Most professional athletes look like little babies that cannot possibly be old enough to play sports professionally.

Probably won't but kind of tempted. I could deal with saggy. It’s the goat hairs that get me every time! And they’re right where I can’t see without a flashlight and a magnifying glass which just sucks. I need my DD to get a little older and more proficient with a tweezers and then that task will be delegated to her! ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/giggle.gif)

i have another one... i have to EAT with my reader glasses on. when the hell did THAT happen?
i had to get one of those hotel mirrors on the accordion thingy to attach to my bathroom wall to put eyeliner and mascara on* (one side is normal mirror/other side is, umm, bigger mirror). and when i use it, i only focus on eyeliner and mascara because i don't want the other "stuff" to look any bigger thanks.....
*luckily, this is only an issue when i actually *wear* mascara and eyeliner, like 6x a year (and not even that frequently in the last year - thanks worldwide pandemic!!)
