Leave room for me! When I was eight, my teacher asked me to get something from another classroom. I was so pleased to be asked, I leapt up, ran to the door, closed it behind me, and forgot what I was supposed to be doing. Backache set in at seventeen. I've never liked loud noise and I complain about everything. Reply #2. Jun 18 13, 5:57 AM |

Well, I sure don't know any songs in the top ten, and my husband would probably say I'm obsessive about feeding the birds. I'll probably add some more later, but I need to go put nectar in the hummingbird feeder. ;-) Reply #3. Jun 18 13, 6:45 AM |

My favorite comment on this subject is the old song" Oh, my, my youth is all spent, My get-up-and-go, got up and went, But I won't complain, I'll just sit here and grin, And think of the places my get-up has been. Reply #4. Jun 18 13, 6:53 AM |

I might as well not bother with the Ascension Quest. Looks like I’m not going to live long enough to finish it. Reply #7. Jun 18 13, 3:52 PM |

That's silly though, I've been doing many of those things since I was 16. Gardening, wildlife, wearing comfy clothes, drinking gallons of tea:S And number 21? I don't avoid lifting heavy things because I'm worried about my back, I don't lift heavy things because I have an enormous strapping teenager who does it for me. :) The wisdom of old age, I am a little old lady, my role is to stand and point and command 'Make it so' Reply #8.

I complained a a friend about getting old, and was told "You are not getting old, you ARE old".........now I know! The person who gave me the benefit of this observation is actually 3 WEEKS younger then me! Lol Having lived the Biblical "Three Score years and Ten", I reckon I qualify for "old" now! Reply #9.

I'm fat & have some hurts at the age of 34. I know that I'm getting older when the little kids that I used to know are getting bigger & older & also when my nieces asked their mom who were the "Smurfs". Reply #10. Jun 23 13, 5:50 AM |

I knew I was getting middle-aged when I found myself telling my daughter that the original version (of whatever song she was listening to) was much better, and I really did look at a policeman one day and feel shocked about how young he seemed to be. Then one day I had to sort through CVs of job applicants I kept thinking people must have made typos on their birth years. But most crushing of all was quite recently at a party when I danced -- and realised that I could no longer co-ordinate my hips, legs or arms. They were like crazy out-of-control killing machines. Life is just so mean! Reply #15. Jun 23 13, 11:56 AM |

I don't like noisy places anymore. I don't know any song from top ten. Younger coleagues feel obliged to call me ma'am. I use to say "back in my days". I'm interested in antiageing cosmetics. The worst part is that I like to mix whith younger people(maybe 5-10 years younger) and hearing that "ma'am" just kills me. Reply #16. Jun 23 13, 5:23 PM |

Me? Old? NAh! Don't make me cackle! I do get a little miffed, though, when my 13 year old son and/or 15 year old daughter are referred to as my GRANDCHILDREN! :) Reply #18. Aug 07 13, 8:10 PM |
