    You realize Clueless is going to be twenty five years old which you saw as a incoming senior in high school while the vast majority of your students are clueless (*pun intended*) of what is it and the few that do mostly don't get it.

    You remember Mary Lou Retton as an Olympic gymnast and she’s doing menopause commercials on satellite radio.

    When you're watching Eminem perform at the Oscars and realize your in the same age bracket as some of the people in the audience rocking out to him.

    You're lying prepped and ready for your first colonoscopy, the doctor enters the room and your first thought is "wow, he looks really young":p

    When someone references how much they love Starfighter and you think they mean The Last Starfighter.

    Starfighter is a gay webcomic, I now know.

    When you get certain aches, pains, or discomforts in your body, but you are super relieved that the pain is on both sides of your body and equal. Because then you know it's just natural aging.

    Pain or discomfort on only one side of the body causes significantly more concern.

    My doctor @MotivateR5D4 said it best. When you are thirty something, things hurt but you know why. When you are forty something, things hurt but you don't know why.

    When your ability to spell words deteriorates. I used to be a savant level speller back in the day. Now it'll take me 3,4,5 different guesses before the red underline goes away, and my attempts are so bad sometimes I can't even right click my way to a proper spelling.

    I'm OK with spelling but my handwriting has gone downhill. It's more of a scrawl these days.

    Well, all the millennials have to show for is AOC, so not much better on the other far end of things. We still have a little bit of time I suppose.

    Apparently LPs are back in. Wish I'd known...we had original Beatles (Mom), original Elvis (Dad), and my beloved SW soundtracks (with the ORIGINAL Ewok song...) Think they all ended up at a thrift store thirty years ago.

    Ha, I was in the emergency room back in January and said this OUT LOUD to the Doctor. I think the painkillers were responsible. He laughed and said, "Thank you for that."

    Vinyl is definitely back in the UK - HMV (DVD/CD store chain) has a vinyl section in my local store.

    Yeah, really don't get the appeal of vinyl.

    Listen to music, clearly in a digital format

    Or listen using a needle where any minor slight minuscule imperfections will cause an incessant fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff as the song is play

    no thanks

    I've read it's due to the sound quality. I still have some old vinyl albums (pretty sure the SW OT soundtracks are in there) but I don't have anything to play them on. I have an old stereo in the living room but the turntable part doesn't work. (AM/FM does so I use it for that).

    You might be able to get good money for those vintage vinyls, if you don't want them anymore. Conversely you could get a record player, they're pretty cheap thar days.
