Got my nails done today. Nail tech tells me she once dyed her hair pink in her early days in beauty school. I say "Oh, like the gal in Grease."

Her: "what?"

Me: "like in Grease-the movie"

Her: dumbfounded look

Me: " Grease. Olivia Newton John? John Travolta?"

Her: "I've never heard of it."

Me " I think it was out in about 1979"

Her: "Oh, I'm only 21."

Me: Officially felt old for first time

I mean, didn't necessarily expect her to have seen it, but I thought we were still in a generation that might have heard of it. I joke about feeling old all the time, but it's just that...self deprecating joke...but that really did make me feel old.
 
So is grease the word or is the bird the word?
 
First time I got the 2 day hangover.

That fucker.
 
I don't remember. The first time was so long ago and there have been so many instances since then, I have lost track.

Basically I'm too old to remember the first time I really realized I was old.

Ain't jokin' neither.
 
I have a small hangover from a few glasses of white wine. It may be more lack of sleep, but 20 years ago I would have been able to have drank 2x as much with half as much sleep.
 
Slight hangover today from several glasses of white wine (ok, the better part of a bottle) with not an ideal amount of sleep. 20 years ago I would have been able to drink 3x as much with half the sleep and feel fine.
 
When my kids asked me why I'm watching Tom & Jerry instead of SpongeBob.
 
Every morning when I wake up and I can barely feel my legs.
