When kids I knew when they were 2 are now working behind the bar....

When a song comes on at work and it reminds me of clubbin' days, and we figure out what year its from....and someone pipes up with "ohhh, thats the year I was born".

Im not growing old gracefully..at.all.

What sucks is when you are the oldest person in your unit. You are even older than the parents of your troops. It really sucks that they expect you to keep up with these kids in PT. Probably the worst are the gasps when they catch you undressing. It appears gray body hair really freaks kids out. I'm going to start shaving it off (again). BTW, what's with this stuff that older you are the lower your balls hang. I'm seriously starting to worry about stepping on them.

Ducksnuts - Growing old gracefully? I've seen your pics. You're about 26 or 27, right? Geezzz

I recently saw some photos from my year twelve formal (trans: senior prom) ... there are ashtrays on the tables.

Went out for a meal yesterday for the birthday of a family friend. My 16 year old niece has recently discovered alcohol. Not in a big way: she's very sensible. She's always been allowed a taste/small glass of what the grownups were drinking, so it's never held huge attraction for her. But in the past 6 months she's started having an occasional drink with her mates. Usually an alcopop like Wicked.

Anyway: I went to the bar to get drinks for me, mum and the girls: wine for me and mum, coke for youngest niece....and a bottle of Wicked for eldest niece. That made me feel old :P buying a 'proper drink' for a girl whose nappy I used to change.

Juju and I went to the buffet for lunch and the cashier gave me the senior citizen's discount without even asking me if I was a senior. Sheesh.

I love you, Sarge :) ... Add 10ish

. . .ish??!!??!!??

I'm being elusive!

...ish.

I've decided I prefer zip up cardies to button up ones. Now THATS old! :lol:

Why would this preference be considered as old?

Cardies? cardigans?

Maybe because she's thinking of these...the old mans cardigan.

Or especially this one...
