For work, I had to get copies of everyone's driver's licenses. Out of about 60 people in the office, five are older than I am and I"m old enough to be the father of at least 40 of them. It's more of a "wow" feeling than an, "I feel old," feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 The Sabres are working on their own version of a "playoff drought." The players born in 2000 maybe can't remember the last Sabres playoff game 8 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707BillsFan Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I work in a jail. I used to look at my HS graduation year as a barometer of my age. Now I see the 2000 kids come in and think to myself, dang...I was doing this job for nearly a decade when you were born. Job security...often times its the kid of a past "client" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Want to feel old? Consider that someone who is too young to remember the shuttle Challenger tragedy is now pushing 40 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 High school kids were born after 9/11/2001. Next year high school graduates will have been born after 9/11/2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider that someone who is too young to remember the shuttle Challenger tragedy is now pushing 40 years old. I vividly remember that day...I was in my twenties. We were unloading a semi flat of building materials when it went up, the Island Center in Tampa. It was a clear day and when I and my crew were watching most all of us exclaimed at the same time that something was wrong. All it took was good binoculars from that far away, just such a clear day. Could actually see it without them too, just not as high def. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could name some of the troublemakers in school and he would tell me that he'd arrested their grandparent/relative decades earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I had an old college roommate in town for a long weekend. What would have been just an ordinary (probably on the tame side even) weekend back then....almost killed me. There’s a reason I feel old....I AM old! But we still had fun!!!

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Gonna be a real hoot seeing Millennials (born after 1980) hit mid-life, 40...

frostbitmic Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) OLD ? .... I came home from the grocery store yesterday and never left the house afterwards. I know I had my glasses on when I came home, have no idea where they are now. I have searched everywhere in the house including the fridge and the freezer as well as the garbage cans. (how pathetic is that) I hadn't even been smoking or drinking, that changes when I get home from work today. @#$& ageing Edited June 25, 2018 by frostbitmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I represent that statement! but I’m not convinced anyone ever called me “special” I remember feeling old when I realized my coworkers weren’t born when JFK was shot.

All_Pro_Bills Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 You know you're old if you and your friends went outside and played a game of pick up football or baseball without parental supervision. We came home when it was dinner time. Kids now under 12 have spent maybe 15 minutes of their life without their parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, "parenting" has become highly structured, often not to the benefit of anyone. I have a good friend who is a high school teacher in WNY; he tells me it is a constant problem dealing with kids who think the world should revolve around them, b/c that is how they were raised by their parents.
