What point out of nowhere did you know you were getting old?

Was hanging out with some college friends over the weekend doing our fantasy draft. We stopped by one of their houses for lunch. He has two young daughters. They both thought that I am in my 60s.
Edit: I turn 42 in October

 

I like that this post was liked by notboldjustold who has only posted twice ever

 

I got throw up drunk on Fruitopia and Bacardi. I guess in my 19 year old brain they seemed like good things to mix together.

-guy talks about a time he got drunk

 

Had the reverse happen. Some guy was talking to me like I was some youngin and said a few things like "oh kids your age" and "your generation such and such".

had to interupt him and ask "How old are you?" He came back with 42. "Bruh, I'm older than you". He thought I was in my 20s, he looked mid 50s.

 

Eh, looking younger has always been good/bad. More just relaying a story. I'm sorry I've triggered you, you clearly look like your near death when you're just barely middle age

 

You know you're getting old when one day you realize that the reason you haven't had a Fruitopia in awhile is because they stopped selling them 21 years ago.

Same thing happened when I saw a Mars bar at Cracker Barrel.

 

Realized that I was routinely doing a deep calf stretch on both sides to complete my morning shower.

 

Think I strained my glute earlier turning to go down the hallway to my office.

 

When I started hearing people call hot dogs "glizzys".

 

When I started to go from an attack the rim basketball player to a jump shooter

 

I go with the hamstring stretch and touch my toes. Helps rinse the under carriage, which is an added bonus.

 

Sometimes I'll just step and turn and strain something on the top of my foot

 

I’m sitting in the floor watching 30 Rock, because my daughter turned our living room couch into a tent city.

I’m not sure what thread this goes in.

 

I had to explain what a phone tree/call tree was to some youths at work yesterday. They couldn’t grasp that we didn’t just have a group text to let everyone know a practice or the game was cancelled.

 

This is a thing?

 

yes

 

Every time I attempt a forward pass in ncaa 25

 

I completely threw my back out...putting my shoe on. I could barely move for two days. What the fuck.

 

I was pulling up my boxers one morning getting ready for work and had a sharp pain on the right side above my ass. Thank fuck I worked in a hospital and the Dr. said I had a muscle spasm. Got 2 shots in the ass and I couldn’t move without pain for days.

 

If Dazed And Confused was filmed today it would be about the high school graduating class of 2007.


Also, in 6 years the 80s will have been 50 years ago.

 

As a 2007 grad. This upsets me

 

I'll add the first time my kids saw/realized a commercial and asked what the hell is this shit, can you fast-forward it

 

10 year old still never watches regular TV (other than Tech football) at all because of commercials
Even wrestling or something he really gets into, but commercials come up and he finds something else to do

 

At first, I thought you meant the flowchart that you have to follow to get a live person on the phone with the insurance company.

But I do remember spending the night at a friend's house whose mom was a teacher and seeing the sheet of who called who on a snow day.

 

I was supposed to attend the Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech game at Bristol motor speedway.

fuck both teams so it’s a wash.

 

I think somebody mentioned taking leftover napkins and putting them in your car. Today I even commented to my wife how this restaurant had the “nice napkins”.

 

I pulled a muscle in my neck drying my hair after a shower and now I can’t turn left or right

 

You’re a blast at parties, aren’t you?

 

I like to think so

 

The Blink 182 artist radio station on Spotify is incredible stuff.


My 7 year old said it's old people music

 

They came up on a "Classic Rock" station I was listening to somewhere in the last year or so.

 

I found this shit hilarious

 

Teddy B now coaching Miami Northwestern #Miami Hurricanes

 

Imagine trying to tell them about the tv guide channel. And if you got sidetracked and missed a certain channel you had to wait another 5 minutes for it to roll around again.

 

tell them about the tv guide

 

I've known for a while but I just got some steroid trigger point injections in my back that are making me feel soo much better, but have me all worried this evening about my blood pressure spiking from the steroid that I took an extra metoprolol when I got home

 

He's probably not old enough to remember that

The just straight scrolling though 50 cable channels with no guidance at all was the between two a day practice routine

 

good luck sleeping

 

Going on vacation and coming back and the channels were all different numbers now

 

I felt a little boomerish today using the Chevron app for the 1st time to fill up with gas.

I actually watched a youtube video on how to do it beforehand

 

Beer will hopefully get me through

The extra metoprolol was actually recommended by the NP or whatever he is

 

Funny to have a nurse sit there and tell me my blood pressure is running a little high while I can't sit straight up because my back is in so much pain

 

What happened to your back?

 

man that 2013 sugar bowl was such a fun rewatch

 

I’ve slept the same way my entire adult life: on my side with arms tucked under my head/pillow. I am no longer able to do that because I wake up with terrible pain in my elbows and shoulders like I threw 150 pitches overnight. A few weeks back, I wrenched my elbow so bad ***sleeping*** that I couldn’t grip anything for 2-3 days and had to have my wife open the Talenti during TV time.

The struggle is real when age strains your UCL in your sleep.

 

I get random hip pain from sleeping on my side when the top leg is having to go too far to make knee to knee contact. It's super cool
