Re: I Knew I Was of a Different Generation When _____________ (Fill in the blank. I'll start...)

When I told the receptionist at my hair salon that she looked like Ali McGraw. She has never heard of Ali, Ryan O'Neal, or Love Story. It's official----I'm old.

Re: I Knew I Was of a Different Generation When _____________ (Fill in the blank. I'll start...)

when a friend asked me if I ran home from high school to watch Clark (I think -- the one with the music) and I had to admit I did not have TV in high school -- and she is in her sixties.

When I realized if I were to pretend to be younger than I am, I have to remember what I should not be able to remember -- i.e. the Hindenburg explosion, WWII, the first A bomb, Kennedy;s assassination, the first man on the moon, shall I go on?

One of the ministers at the retirement village where I live said he was conducting a funeral a week or so ago and apparently the teen age grandchildren wanted to speak. He said they all had their speech on their IPads or Iphones and did very well 00 he was the only one with anything written on actual paper.

I started getting funeral/burial plans in the mail. The first one I got, I wrote in a Sharpie "Uh, I'm only 43 years old" and sent it back. lol

When a young woman in my husband's office (whom he thought had a bit of a crush on him) said: ""I love to talk to you -- you remind me of my father!""

When the 10 year old boy turned to his mother in the thrift store with an 8 track tape in his hand and asked her what IT was! I then realized how times had changed!

When I asked if anyone remembered "Conelrad," and almost no one did.
