Uh oh. Every one of these made absolute sense to me. I must be getting old and my mind is DEFINITELY slipping.

12. You realize that your baby sister is the same age you were when you married.
13. You have skin tags. And those bitches are GROWING.
March 31st, 2009 at 5:04 am
8.5 out of 10 means what, then?
Shit… I don’t want to be old. I’m only 30!!!
March 31st, 2009 at 5:24 am
You only have one chin hair? You’re still a kid:)
March 31st, 2009 at 5:43 am
Hey, quit writing about ME.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:15 am
I’m embracing the chin hair because the damn thing won’t go away.
*sigh*
Still better than the alternative, I’m afraid.
Hope you had a smashing birthday!
March 31st, 2009 at 6:41 am
Number 9 made me pee a little laughing!!!!!!! (Am old.)
March 31st, 2009 at 6:41 am
And it’s my birthday too! Well, it was on Sunday. Happy Birthday Flutter!
March 31st, 2009 at 6:58 am
I’m 25, which is MID-twenties…so I’m totally a legitimate adult, right?
March 31st, 2009 at 7:00 am
Shit.
I’m old!
I’ll go buy some Depends, now….
March 31st, 2009 at 7:27 am
The chin hair. That is my downfall and it makes me feel like a granny every single time it pops up.
March 31st, 2009 at 7:28 am
Have you walked into the room, turned slowly in a circle, and looked confused because you can’t remember why you went in there? How about run through fifteen names before you get to the one you want?
Stuff to look forward to!
March 31st, 2009 at 7:31 am
looking for a new twaddle. maybe i’ll try ebay. i must be old, this twaddle is worn.
crack me up, thanks for the laugh
March 31st, 2009 at 8:54 am
Thanks for this – I shall begin to watch for the signs!
March 31st, 2009 at 9:09 am
Weak bladder, twaddle, and prominent chin hair. Oh, you sexy beast you!
March 31st, 2009 at 9:33 am
Thanks, I didn’t think I was that old until I read this.
March 31st, 2009 at 9:48 am
Must you post about me?
March 31st, 2009 at 9:53 am
I wouldn’t say your mind is slipping. I’d say it’s EVOLVING.
But then, that’s just me…
March 31st, 2009 at 10:43 am
You start growing hairs on your toes!
You develop what we here in the UK call ‘bingo wings’ – Those upper arm flaps of skin that only older ladies who play bingo should really have!
They flap when you wave your arm in the air – Just like wings, only much less elegant…
March 31st, 2009 at 10:44 am
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a chin hair ~:)
March 31st, 2009 at 11:11 am
How about when you go to get your eyebrows done and the very nice Vietnamese lady says “we do lips too?”. Awesome.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:23 pm
When I’m telling some story about playing poker, it’s always “some kid” who made a stupid play. And it always turns out he’s at least 25 or 30.
Check, check, check all the others. And give me my walker back.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Shit. I’m only 26. And. Yeah. Why are you making me feel SO OLD??
March 31st, 2009 at 3:25 pm
I am there, too. Twaddle and all.
March 31st, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I was just complaining to someone the other day that I was going to have to download a TV show from iTunes to use a gift certificate I got for Christmas because “…I have no idea what happened to all the good musicians, but have you HEARD any good music lately? I mean…it all sounds the same to me when I turn on the radio…all mostly crap.” AND…I can not for the life of me figure out why people would want to pay “good money” for jeans with holes in them (oh dear…I can remember this argument back in the 80′s…)
March 31st, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I HATE the peeing thing…
March 31st, 2009 at 5:42 pm
What I love about you is that this list is so fresh, so true, so hell yea, baby.
March 31st, 2009 at 5:58 pm
You lost me to the alarm! HA! Wtf was that? A burgler?
OK, listen to me, one inch BLACK hair from neck. Did no one notice it GROWING there? Doodes!
I’m so with you, Flutter.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:00 pm
shit i hit old several years ago then. sigh
i hate those stupid chin hairs. I have one that grows in my mole on my face too. little buggers.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:00 pm
oh here’s another one for ya
0. when you start considering buying a compilation set of CD’s from ‘your’ time like say the 80′s and 90′s. Ack.
March 31st, 2009 at 6:07 pm
I was just thinking I was old when I heard that Madonna is coming out with another greatest hits album. With what? I don’t register anything after Immaculate Conception.
March 31st, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Hilarious and true. I can’t believe that i know refer to people in their 20s as KIDs. Crazy.
March 31st, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I am old.
Officially.
April 1st, 2009 at 5:02 am
Honey, six of those apply to me. And while I don’t have a chin hair I do have an obscenely long side burn hair.
I’m 24.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:00 am
A-freaking-men.
April 1st, 2009 at 9:09 am
And I call people I don’t know ‘honey’. A sure sign of being old.
April 1st, 2009 at 11:09 am
I hear you! I’m in my thirties and just the other day referred to someone in their twenties as a kid…what??
It’s a sure sign my age is showing when some kid in their twenties calls me ma’am. MA’AM!! That just does my head in.
April 1st, 2009 at 11:10 am
ooops…that should say I, I referred to someone…
April 1st, 2009 at 4:23 pm
God I am old, I can relate to almost all of the above(no chin hair yet, thank fuck)I suppose I am 35 though.
April 1st, 2009 at 7:39 pm
shit. 8 out of 10. and it would be 10 except i am so old that i don’t need an alarm clock to wake up.
April 1st, 2009 at 7:55 pm
i think these are all things of *refinement*. i have a couple of years on you.
the knowledge we have at this age is blinding. or justice, perhaps?
shank your spunk. you are one to be looked UP upon.
April 1st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
lol. meant to say “SHAKE your spunk”
is my slip showing? *blush*
April 1st, 2009 at 11:16 pm
You’re not getting older. You’re getting more refined.
April 2nd, 2009 at 2:25 am
*phew* I’ve got 3.5 out of 10, but I know I wouldn’t be too happy for long…
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:06 am
This is no good.
I am old.
Son of a…
April 2nd, 2009 at 12:52 pm
A-freaking-men. Not only do teens annoy you, but so does the general population.
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Great! More things to look forward to. And I thought menopause was bad, oh wait– you were talking about menopause, weren’t you?
April 2nd, 2009 at 6:35 pm
are you talkin bout me?
April 3rd, 2009 at 12:20 pm
What are you twaddling about?
April 3rd, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Honey, try chin AND neck hairs. Seriously, I love being Italian and all, but this is out of control. Also, yes to just about everything else, including the restaurant thing, because now people have to talk on their cell phones about something that just can’t wait, clearly, when I’m just trying to enjoy shoveling a yellowtail roll into my mouth in some semblance of peace.
There. The end.
April 3rd, 2009 at 5:15 pm
OMG I’m ROFLMAO! WTF? I’m not old! OK, I am. But I’m not alone!! Just the “meant to say’s” were enough to get me giggling.
Thank you, flutter, I so needed this at the end of a long, ass-whupping week.
April 3rd, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Chin hair is going to be all the rage any minute now. Just you wait. With the baby boomers getting all old and stuff, it will probably be MANDATORY.
April 4th, 2009 at 9:45 am
ummm, yeah. the other day I said the word “brassiere”. I am officially turning into my mother …
April 4th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I didn’t feel like I had enough time to read all the comments, not that it matters anyway because clearly my mind is slipping and in a few minutes I won’t remember any of it anyway. Except for the vague feeling of being wholey amused. Thanks, it’s a warm fuzzy feeling. Hope it lasts all night.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Yeah, I can identify with several of these…
April 5th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
YESS!!
and i have like 8 hairs on my chinny chin chin. that grow at various speeds. so there’s always one poking out.
i call 24 year old kids, kids. “but he’s just a kid!!”
also?? what the EFF BOMB is happening to my heels? like, not my shoes. my feet. i’m growing CLAWS back here.
April 5th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I got about 6 of 10, so that must mean I’m only 60% old. Woo hoo!
April 7th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Heh. Oooh man, I am ancient.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Damn…I refuse to score myself. Damn chin hair.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:29 am
mmm hmm.
April 21st, 2009 at 9:41 am
hysterical and real
you have-no-ARE-a gift
