I was sitting with my kids watching cartoons and Some goofy crap With talking blue whales and a mentally disturbed (It seems) kid making all kinds of weird sounds for 30 minutes...

I said... "Man whatever happened to shows like Voltron"

They said in unison What is Voltron?

I felt old.

That was like, ten years ago... so 28 lol




OK, I looked it up! No wonder I didn't know it -- it's a 'boy' cartoon! :laughing:

At what age did you have the first "I'm too old for this" moment?

- Was it at 13 when Care Bears were no longer cool?
- How about at 21 when 18 and older clubs became kiddy land?
- Age 30 when you realized your body isn't quite the same?
- The first time you heard someone's car stero -- as they drove by your house -- with so much bass it rattled your windows?

My favorite line from Lethal Weapon: "I'm too old for this sh*t!" :banana:


Never liked Care Bears in the first place.

Not much of a club person anyway. never have been.

My body hasn't been the same since I was 20...lol

I would be guilty of having a stereo in my car that is similar to the one you describe. However, mine is used to listen to Metal music...lol


I definately wouldn't expect those examples to apply to everyone. winking

At least you have good taste in music; drive through my 'hood any day! tongue2

I never say it in regards to my adventurous wonderful blessed life. But I do use it in references to others. The truthful "I'm getting too old for your drama induced bullsh!t that you brought on yourself".

Getting "too old" is an option, IMO. I have elected not to go there.

Sorry, it hasn't happened yet.

I lied. I'm not sorry.

I think you are like me though -- I've never put up with drama to begin with ... winking

Maybe I am a cold-hearted person for having that attitude but I've always shut the door on people that display an ounce of drama.

- When I was 5 I was too old for nap time, but they made me lay down.
- By 16 I was too old for cartoons; but I watched them anyway.
- At 17 I thought I was too old to be in school but stuck around for the diploma.
- By 25 I was too old to date 19 year olds. Resistance was futile; our maturity was so similar.
- Around 27 I wondered why all my favorite childhood movies & cartoons are appearing next to the new releases on my DVD shelf.
- Started feeling old at 29, decided smaller age gap was more appropriate.
- Now I`m 31! I`m gettin too old for this $H!T ...

Earlier this winter, my Stetson hat blew off my head, over the roof of my car and down a embankment and in to the river. I scrambled down the snowy/icy embankment in the dark, was my hat floating in the water headed downstream. I grabbed a tree branch, snagged the hat, flipped it up on the bank. Knocked the water off it and began climbing up the snowy icy bank. I was yelling and swearing the whole time. I was not gonna lose that hat. After I got into the car I thought that was stupid, you could have slipped, fallen into the icy river, twisted an ankle, hurt myself in a number of ways.
A few mins later I thought.
"Damn, Dude you still got it, even at 50"

Damn Dude(ette), THAT`S a story & a half.. I hope when I`m 50 I got it like that. I never liked limits. "No means no" is a differen`t story but DON`t tell me I can`t do something. I`m not going to attempt the impossible but I strive for the very difficult. Go ahead & say I can`t; I can use some more motivation.

We`re never too old unless we believe we already lost.

I always get someone trying to fight me at bars. Now days, instead of swinging I go "man, I am getting to old for this."
Yep. Punches to the face and body hurt more as we age.

I think the very first I am too old for this
was about age 5..When my parents wanted me to still believe in the tooth fairy.. I was like yeah right...
I am way to old for this.

I know the first I am way to old for this was at age 8 when a family friend was telling me a "story" and swearing it was the truth.. I remember looking him the eye and asking him if he remembered how old I was.. I was too old for that stupid of a story...

Had one of those moments last night when I got my "Dear John" phone call. What was the problem?...apparently I should only be flirty and romantic (I am not talking about sex talk)while actually in bed.....my bed is in Texas...her's is in China....I really need to take my friends advice and just start trying to treat women like dirt...but, I am too old to change my ways.

I sport a tee shirt that says if it is too loud you are too old.....This pretty much says it for the way I feel. The day that I stop doing the things that make me happy is the day I start to be too old....and guess what that day will never get here~ laugh
