You know you're getting old when....

Good song. Great setting!
She's so gorgeous. I remember the song all over the radio though I was quite young. <eye flutter>
Scuttlebutt is that the song is referring to Mick Jagger. I believe Carly continues to discount that, tho'.

 

When you start groaning, when you are just thinking about getting up off of the couch...

 

Maybe, maybe not. Been an ongoing mystery since it was released.

You know you're old if you bought this album when it was released.

 

It took me a good 3 minutes to figure out this one. *chuckles*

 

When most of the movies and music are remakes of remakes..and everyone swears it's some new brilliant song or movie.

 

Was at a party at a club this weekend. 200 people in the room and the DJ had set an appropriate volume for about 500. So the missus and I dipped out. Friend of mine walking in asked if I was going. I said, "Yep. It's too loud. Apparently, I'm too old." She didn't get the "If it's too loud you're too old reference."

Apparently, I'm getting old.

You know you're getting old when your credit card is old enough to vote.
.... when you've been able to drink so long that people conceived the first night you could drink legally no longer need their fake IDs.
.... when you realize that the President is not too much older than you.
.... when you have to remind yourself that the reason the past is starting to look better is Sturgeon's Law, not the past Being better.

 

...when the easy setting on video games is difficult.

 

Thought it was Warren Beatty

I wasn't getting quite enough allowance at the time to buy a copy of the LP though I started babysitting the next year and went to town buying LP's & 45's.
Thanks for the history of You're So Vain. Boy, has Ms. Simon gotten a LOT of mileage out of that song.

 

When you have to ask your kids to "fix" the television, because you accidentally hit the wrong button.

 

When you "groan or grunt outloud" as you get up and outta your car! Then you look around to make sure no one saw or heard you doing that!!!

 

When gardening becomes a hobby.
When you hear a new song on the radio and it takes most of the song before you realize its a cover and the rest of the song to remember who did it first.

 

You can't eat certain types of foods after 8pm or you won't be able to sleep. But it doesn't matter cause you fall asleep on the couch at 7:30pm every night anyway.

 

You know you're getting old when everyone who was in your year at school has a car, house, husband and children! I pretend not to be old by only obtaining the first on the list! I always was slow at school!

 

You know you're getting old when everyone who remembers who Danny Thomas was has forgotten who he was.

 

When you tell your kids about how much fun flying a kite can be...and they laugh at you.
