Feb 01 13 08:00 pm Link When you don't easily admit your age. Feb 01 13 08:01 pm Link Spam used to be eaten. Text used to be the words printed in a book or paper. Cloud was the white fluffy thing in the blue sky. Folder and File used to be the brown envelope inside the steel box. Smiley used to be the yellow cartoon on a T Shirt. Dropbox used to be where you put your entry details for a cereal contest. . Feb 01 13 08:05 pm Link Ismael Barrera wrote: No, it's when you are quite happy to admit your age. Kind of a "I've survived all life threw at me and I'm still standing" (albeit not quite as straight as I used to). Feb 01 13 08:05 pm Link Over what hill? I don't remember any hill.

Feb 01 13 08:59 pm Link I was flipping channels the other night and stopped on MTV, they were ACTUALLY paying music videos. So i thought, lets watch a few and see whats going on. I don't get it. I watched 3 in a row and not only were they soul less Casio keyboard like tunes with maybe 5 total lyrics that repeated over and over with a dull chorus but the lack of actual music and meaning was astounding. I knew I was old right then and there. /get off my lawn Feb 01 13 09:01 pm Link cinema photography wrote: Total crap! ^^^^ Feb 01 13 09:08 pm Link When I look in a mirror and realize that I don't feel like I look! :-) Feb 01 13 09:09 pm Link Lohkee wrote: Never, never, never!!!!

Feb 01 13 11:12 pm Link when you stand at least five feet away from any microwave that is on. when your cell phone's (or any phone) ring tone has been--and will only ever be--the factory default. when you're too blase to care if your balls sag into the toilet water while you're taking a dump. (some old fart told me that one once, and i almost vapor locked) Feb 01 13 11:43 pm Link When your kids start getting gray hair. Feb 02 13 12:02 am Link When you tell people you are or have been a sexagenarian and they are not sure quite what you mean. But the most annoying thing is having breakfast and then 10 minutes later not being able to remember what you ate. And then sometimes having a second breakfast because you feel you may have forgotten to eat. It also becomes annoying when you hear so many ads on TV blaring about the joys of fighting the effects of ED by using their wonderful pills but being careful if the results last more than 4 hours !!! I must admit the greatest pleasure is waking up in the morning and realizing that you are still very much alive, and then wondering why so many nice women smile at you in the street.. The worst part of getting older is when "so many" dear friends or people you have admired are no longer around..... Or have suddenly died. Also, its disturbing when your wife has to reassure you that you are not yet "gaga" !! Then..... that 3 1/2 LB DSLR you love with the 200mm lens is SO HEAVY its getting hard to shoot with and your model wants to help you carry it.. Feb 02 13 02:16 am Link When it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night - in the words of the song. Feb 02 13 02:43 am Link Your kids wonder why you think the sound volume in the cinema is suddenly too loud. Your kids 'go to the Cinema', whereas you used to 'go to the Pictures'. Your kids don't know what 'playing outside' means, or what 'conkers' are. Feb 02 13 03:03 am Link When the hair in your nose and ears needs to be plucked almost as often as you shave. When you look forward to going to bed so you can sleep. When an 'early night' means a good book, reading glasses and a nice malt whisky... ...and when you realise the models you shoot regard you as a 'grandfather' figure, no longer as a 'daddy' figure... Feb 02 13 03:04 am Link How about when you know where the following phrases come from and you remember watching the episodes on TV? (When there were only 13 channels on the TV and not of all of them had programming) "Vitametavegamin" "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!" "Sit On It" "Nanu Nanu" "What's you talkin' bout Willis"? "Sweat hogs" "Yabba Dabba Do!" "What's up Doc?" Feb 02 13 07:04 am Link Drew Smith Photography wrote: Holy crap.
