Status: offline 		Wow. At the grocery today we ran into someone. At first I thought it was a buddy we haven't seen for many years. I was thinking to myself he has aged well considering he has lived the high life for..... forever. Then I find out this is his SON ! He remembers from the time his age was in the single digits.

Now if that isn't tripped out enough, the phone rings and it IS someone I haven't seen in 20 years. Naturally I figured guy number one got on the phone and eventually my phone number got there.

Nope, it came from a totally different source.

The question is - Am I allowed to feel old now ?

And does the world seem to get smaller for everyone at a certain point in life ? Maybe it's something with the moon or something, I have no idea, but this blast from the past is uncanny.

Now the second dude is coming over tomorrow and he used to be a concert going crazoid just like the rest of us. My roomie and I both have known him for a long time, and in between the bullshitting and whatever there will be some time for a few tunes. I did warn him though that we can bring the cops faster with audio than anyone dialing 911. Perhaps I should've left it as a surprise, but he might want to bring earplugs to avoid hearing damage. (at our age)

Just a tripped out day, anything like that happrn to anyone elee lately ?

Status: offline 		Since I moved to AR from WV, I don't ever really run into people that I actually know. However, facebook has really made me feel my age. I graduated from high school 20 years ago and have never had children. When I see old friends (my age) and they're posting photos of their kids at prom and/or going off to college, it really hits me that I'm pushing 40. It's like "How can I have stayed so young and you have grown kids?" Then, of course, just attending the 20th yr. reunion reinforced it as well. It's really unsettling for me to think that, had I chosen to have children, they could be adults by now. I still feel like I'm in my twenties. How can this be????? So, yeah, Termyn8or, I feel ya, man

Status: offline 		i had the experience of running into somene i went to jr and sr high school with. i recognized her but was shocked at how freaking old she looked. she is six months younger than me, but looks about ten years older. i connected with some old friends on facebook and was amazed at how old we all look. the mind plays interesting tricks on us all; we think of old friends as we knew them, then time catches up and kicks us in the ass. funny how that works.

I would like to see that.

How old IS old?

Feel whatever you want.   Consider the wisdom that comes with age.

Status: offline 		The only thing I like about Facebook is that all the girls from high school who are writing me after all these years all look so much older than I do and they are all jealous.

Otherwise it is a bore.

Actually I could figure them out.   I could tell when you were normal  mode- or danger mode.

I hope you are sitting down for this one.   I went to the DR.  (eye)   They had year books in the waiting room.  (small town)

Guess what- ALL the pics were in color!  All of them.

I think out yearbook had black and white and maybe 12 pages of color.  Also- I seen they let kids where t-shirts with writing on them.  We never would have done that one picture day!!!

Status: offline 		old is about 90 i say. as for "how old we all look" we all seem to look like i remember our parents, lol, not like how i remember us when we all hung out together.

as for the grocery store, since i relocated i don't know anyone locally. i'm just another middle aged mom of teenagers getting that shell-shocked look at the registers just like every other mom. damn, teenaged boys can eat!

Nope, moving 1600 miles away from where I grew up sort of does that though.  I do however run into people I haven't seen around here all of the time.  I hate it.  I like things planned.  I just don't like running into people spontaneously and ruining my plans for my day. 

people around here are starting to learn that as well about me.

I always avoid year books otherwise the government knows what you look like.

I'm all too aware.
How do I avoid it?
