3 times one feels old

[acroyear]

1. when you visit a doctor.  any doctor.  for any reason.
2. when you ache and there is nothing you did to make it ache but it aches anyways.
3. when you're around kids 20 years younger than you.

that pretty much covers most of it.

observations from an occurance of #3 just a little while ago:

1. its "dating" again.  back in the day, it was "going out" because dating implied such a commitment!
2. girls are called "chicks" again.  "babes" has retreated yet again.  I can't remember - did "dolls" come before or after "chicks"?

"Dolls" was way before "chicks." But "broads" came in between them both.

Huh. I thought 'dolls' and 'broads' were contemporaneous. (They're both used in Guys and Dolls)

Ya know... there's a dirty joke in there somewhere...

I may have to dedicate my life to finding it. ;)

When the college graduates that our company hires saunter into my office and call me "mam" and mean it, they are not just being polite, is when I start to feel old. Also, when my big toe aches when it rains...what's next? will I be predicting snow storms w/ arthitis? :-)

my headaches have predicted snow for the last 15 years...
