For whatever reason, I have been feeling OLD lately. Definitely an all-caps kind of feeling. Rather than whine about it, I present my method of coping for your viewing pleasure. Yup, it’s a list:

Top 10 Hints You Might be Getting Old
  1. You can’t ride a roller coaster without taking drammamine first.
  2. You know whether or not it’s going to rain by listening to your knee. 
  3. When channel surfing, you pause on the Face Cream info-mercial promising to erase those wrinkles; then have to force yourself not to pick up the phone when they say you only have 15 minutes left to get the deal.
  4. 30 doesn’t seem old anymore.
  5. 40 doesn’t seem old anymore.
  6. [For women] Going anywhere without make-up is not an option.
  7. [For men] Rogaine doesn’t seem so implausible anymore.
  8. The parents of the cute little family next door were born the year you graduated from High School.
  9. Your child asks you how old you were when the dinosaurs went extinct.
  10. The kid working at the local 7-11 calls you ma’am/sir.

Do you have any to add?
