How to know you aren't young anymore...

While there are literally scores of ways to know that you aren't young anymore - and most of them unpleasant - I just discovered a pleasant way to know you're no longer (as my Mother In Law would put it) a "young'un".

I received a PM from someone (I'll let her give her identity if she wishes) on here inquiring if I had a son by the name of 'Nathaniel'. I affirmed that I did, indeed, have a son by that name and was then informed that she was a member of the Church where he was preaching revival! They have been in revival for quite a while and it looks like it will go quite a bit longer.

He's 18 years old and has all the passion in the world. Great kid who lives to be used of God. Good looking, too, just like his................ Mother.

Was a pleasant surprise to suddenly feel older without feeling bad about it!

i've always wondered what it felt like to be "old".... i guess i'll have to wait a few years to find out.... hehehehe

Constant pain...somewhere...

You know you're getting old when teenagers start call you Mr. (lastname) instead of your first name.

In my denial years, I told everyone that Mr. (lastname) was my DAD!

I know what you mean...someone called me Sister Cyprus, and I started looking around for my mother! OUCH...that hurt.

Blessings, Rhoni

One of my co-workers who is older than me by 20 years called me, "Mr. Davidson" once. I corrected her.

I want to see old age but I don't want to get old and I think I am pretty far from both right now so I really don't have much to worry about.

I just wanted to rekindle this old thread!


Where's Rhoni these days anyway?

Once I was talking with a girl about Walter Hawkins and Shirley Caesar and she summarily dismissed all of the Gospel Greats of the 1980's and beyond as "old style", further quipping how that she can't stand that old gospel stuff.

I almost felt old for a brief moment-- then I realized she was just trying to get under my skin.

All I have to do is look in the mirror. :-(
