You know you're getting old when...

You know you're getting old when your six year old enters the room and asks, "Daddy, do you know that "ole timey" commercial about how to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?" My son's class had watched the commercial in class today and received Tootsie pops afterward. I related the commercial with the owl to him as I remembered it and he confirmed that it was the correct one.

Now I really do feel old.

I think the only TRUE old people are the one who remember "See the U!sa in your CHEVrolet", LSMFT!!!, or Burmashave signs.

Can you be old at 30? :lol:

I sure feel it. Someone said do you wake up aching? Well im old then. Not really I live with pain all the time so do I get a pass on the qualification?

you know you're getting old when you and your sister are sitting there watching a show and there is a dad and his teenage son on the show. I commented that " he's really cute." I looked over at my sister and she knew that I was talking about the dad and not the son...

I felt old that day...

your pastor is preaching a sermon on mentoring using the example of Elijah and Elisha and then asks the congregants to determine if you are an Elijah or an Elisha and you do not know into which category you fit.

Who remember the first in color TV show..
NBC's..
"Arthur Murray's Dance Party"

We couldn't wait for Saturday Night to come to view.. Color.

With the majectic wing span of the Peacock spreading across the screen.
And added to that color was the beautiful colorful evening gowns the ladies wore. And the men so handsome in their outfits.

(taken from google)

Beginning in July 1956, just as NBC was ready to revolutionize television technology, the Peacock was also just beginning to spread its feathers. The colorful Peacock logo in slide form was flashed on home screens at both the beginning and end of colorcasts, inviting the audience to discover the new color revolution.

Does anyone remember the Paper Mate Pen commercial that advertised the pen that would not skip when writing with it. The animated character would have his pen skip and would say something like "dirty, rocka-mocka" and then you would be told to use a Paper Mate Pen.

In answer to the question to know how to tell when you are getting old, the best way I have ever heard is when you are on stairs and you drop something, when you stand up you can't remember if you were going up or going down.
