Mostly it's my body that makes me feel old, creaky and rickity, and of course the mind that can't remember silly things. Other than that, it's the people coming into the workforce. They look like they should be starting high school, not a job!

You hit me right on the head with this one. Yesterday hubby bought me a new 3 wheel adult trike. They delivered it and I went for a ride and found they had put the basket on wrong and it rubbed on the fender. So I got the tools out, and worked that ratchet wrench on those four bolts, moved the bars and then put it back together. They were on there so tight. Today my shoulder and arm feels like they are 110 years old. I thought I was in better shape than that, I do all the work around here for the last year. This is the first time I got this sore. My feet give out all the time, I just set down for 15 or 20 min and they are good to go.

When the kids call me granny.. Other then that I never feel old.. And My Mom never has either.. the other day the doctor commented on her jeans.. they are Calvin' Klein regular jeans .. It's all in the mind set.. I don't know one of you here that seem old or outdated.. to me.. Love D

Pops has always been fond of saying: you know you are getting old when the cops and doctors are younger than you--you are REALLY old when the President is younger than you. I see young cops and docs all over the place, sigh...

Toots maybe they had plastic surgery... We can make believe.. Love D

I never feel old. I was 16 when I had my first son. He always teases me on how "old" I am getting, he had fun this year when I became an official "Senior". I remind him, he is not to far behind me! Age is just a number, many think I look young for my age, what does that look like? We all look different at every age. Old and young come from within us, it is in our hearts and minds. I love having 7 grandkids, makes me feel younger then ever!

I can think of 2 things right off the top of my head.. one is telling people my son is 30, when it feels like I should still be 30! (where did the time go??) Another is when I see doctors who are actually YOUNGER than my son! Wow..what a slap back to reality! ;-)
Oh.. one physical thing.. I do so miss my knees! :-) Can you relate?

i always feel old when i get those aarp cards in the mail, and when my 84 year old father buys me senior vitamins. lol, hugs to all us old folks, lol

I just remembered something that really makes me feel old! FALLING DOWN. I don't remember falling down being so bad as a kid. You fall down a million times and get back up. But as an adult it is horrible.

I laughed at the falling down.. I tried rioller skating not to very long ago and it really rocked me when I fell.. You right It seems like a long way down.. Love D

when I walk past a mirror and think I saw my mom. that's a confidence killer for sure.

I agree. I have no desire to get an Ipod. now I know I am old LOL

Elderhostel and reduced prices.. ;o) MS doesn't make me feel old, because it is a young person's disease..

LOL - am SHATTERED at the moment after looking after my three teenage grandchildren for five days! BUT, what made me feel really old was the fact that now, my neck, shoulder and back is SOOOOOOO much better because they did all the lifting and carrying for me...:) .... have to accept the aging process I fear..:)

I feel old when I walk out of our walk-in closet and face the huge gigantic whole wall made of mirror, and not see my mother nekked, but my GRANDMOTHER!

Somehow, I bypassed looking like my mother, I look like my grandmother! Ack!

Also, after a drive that lasts for a couple of hours, even with heated squishy wonderfully supportive seats.. I walk like I have a corn cob up my backside! I get so stiff if I sit in one place too long.

And, movies. The other day I pulled out the Ray Milland and Grace Kelly movie, Dial M for Murder.. which is a great flick, and asked my daughter if she'd like to watch it with me. She had heard of Grace Kelly, didn't know why the Monocco Princess was in a movie and who the heck was Ray Milland? A Mallard duck or something?

She had NO clue.

Which gave me a clue. I am old. I am getting really old!

However, other than the aches and stiffness.. I feel just like I did in college.. only dumber for some things and a lot smarter for others!

I guess it's my body giving out and my mind not being as sharp as it used to be!!! Also, the older I get the more like my mother I get!!!
