Ahhhh my oldest son got a job, joined the National Guard, and moved into his own house a few months ago..That was a HUGE deal for me.. At 6'3 220 lbs, this MAN is still my lil boy..I cried to be honest ..lol
Now my oldest daughter turns 16 tomorrow...All of a sudden Im feeling old...
Just had to vent somewhere.. Oh and btw the first person to tellme Im old here is getting a visit!!
Geez....I will never get the job as an age guesser at a carnival. By looking at your pic, I didnt think you were a day over 25. I lose again....pick any prize from the top shelf.
Wait til she starts to date, turns 16 , or moves out...all good things in general all things to make ya feel old in my lil world..then again maybe im not in the right "world" over here..
Probably it's not, been to the states and spent quite a while there, and quite honestly, was not exactly my cup of tea, coffee or glass of wine, but the people on CS seem different.

back up a second !!! was it you that felt old or were you realizing that they had gotten older?!!!
i did the feast yesterday and here to visit is my 34 yr. old daughter, my 23 yr old son, and his girfriend of 5 years, and my 12 yr old daughter who has just crossed the threshold into puberty ..and really REALLY in 3 weeks we watched a transformation that is astonishing ! and marvelous ! and frikin scary!!
we listened to alman bros. eat a peach , and aretha and Tbone walker and NIN and all kinds of R&B and i don't feel far away from that part of myself at all... (on most good days) i still have a bit of a shock when i say out loud i am 52..when did that happen anyway??!!
but yea i guess now that you mention it, i have my dayz as well .....

Your not getting old! The kids are (LOL)....My son is leaving in January for college and also informed me that he is going to be a daddy..He is 5'8 and weighs over 200 pounds also. But he will always be my little boy...My daughter just turned 20. Talking about feeling ancient!!!
Actually I think it may be a little of both.. feeling older because i realized they were older..i dont know..it just hit me suddenly..seems like yesterday they were taking their first steps, saying their first words...great memories
Missy this is in response to your OBTW. Is that a promise HUHUH. Just kidding Missy, I have never told a lady that, nor would I ever. But Ladies make me feel old at times, when I read their profiles. Sometimes they make themselves out to be super lady and when I see the age cut off, it seems like after 60, you are no longer dating material.
