LOL! That's a great list -- I'm 39 heading into forty-land, and I can relate to quite a few of those!
Happy TT!
Well this one proves I'm not:
You become (too) particular about lawn maintenance
and if you saw my lawn you'd understand why :-)
Pfew... I'm not middle-aged yet, what a relief! I just turned 39 last week. :-)
My TT shares 13 things to do or see in my hometown Velsen / IJmuiden in The Netherlands.
Hilarious, the one that made me feel middle aged was using my compass on the rearview mirror! Use it all the time, never thought I would.
Middleaged? Apparently I'm pratically elderly!
Hm, to think I complain about some of these things now and I am only 30. lol
Glad to see you enjoyed my blog...I have some more stuff to put up tonight regarding the update on Kevin Everett's condition, among other things, depending on the results of the Cubs/Astros game.
It seems I am escaping middle age then! However, I have always watched news programs, for as long as I can remember.
Oh my aching back! Am I middle aged???;)
I'm 27 and I'm already complaining about MTV, and I watch the news most mornings...
I'm close to 30, I'm already middle-aged? Shit, I've been for few years now! Ha Ha Ha
Happy TT!!!
I'm guilty of #4, God help me.
OMG this is almost my life. I love my mini van, don't diss the mini van. LOL, good list, made me smile- really!
ROFLMAO...ok, im not EVEN going to say which one of those pertain to me;) Happy TT.
Eek! I do a lot of those now!
But I've been complaining about MTV for eons. Bring back the music!!! (and they wonder why no one watches?)
#12 mostly....well, actually, all of these!! And don't forget to save all the coupons for hair dye!!!
Happy TT!
Oh, dear, I'm so old. :-)
HA! I'm 32 but that list made me feel old..lol.
We are very near the same age....and I agreed with most of those. What does that say about me??
Thanks for visiting! Happy TT
Oh, my! That is my life! I'm so ashamed...
Great list!
:)
Merrie
Great list! It scares me a little that I identify with some of the things in the list LOL
I'm in trouble because I'm totally relating to No. 7. Yipes. Great list.
I'm only 27 and I can relate! Except for the mini-van.
Happy TT and thanks for stopping by!
Bring on the leg warmers and the scrunchies...I'm middle aged!!
I do miss the music videos, though.
*sigh*
Nope, not there yet *g*, and I'm 41. I watch local on the 8s, but for some reason I get the travel version, not the local. Happy TT!
Ain't it the truth. Also, you start using phrases such as "Back in the Seventies" and "In MY day." My blogging partner, who is 10 years younger, often makes statements beginning with "In YOUR generation..." Sigh.
I am not old, I am not old, I am not old. LOL
Oh my. I am only 25 and can relate with way too many of those. LOL
And there is something odd about these????:>
Yikes, I am there on most of those already!! Great List!!
Those are soo true. My hubby is all over #1!
Great post!!
my 13 is up
http://momworksathome.blogspot.com
Love the list! Especially number 2.
Hey! I'm only 23yrs old and can still relate to some of those things; MTV not playing music videos anymore. We don't get MTV but we do get MuchMusic (basically Canada's equivalent to USA's MTV) and they're bringing on more reality shows *grumbles*
Ok, so I'm nowhere near middle-aged yet. But then I knew that before, because my credo in life is:
"You can be young only once, but you can be immature forever." :)
Happy TT!
Eight out of thirteen isn't bad, right? :-)
Had to laugh about the lawn, we have dubbed my mil a lawn snob. It's awful!
I am so with the IRA Comment. How funny! LOL!
I had a great laugh reading your T13! That is just very true especially the lawn maintenance. Happy TT!
Yup, #4 is certainly true for me!
lol the only one that fits me is #11; and I turned 50 this year...possibly well past middle age ;-)
i'm 30 and already doing #6!
Well, I'm not there yet, but I already do #8. LOL!
The scary thing is the last one. Oh ya, I've been thinking that since I had kids.
Hehe, #3 and #9 especially made me giggle. I do some of things on your list, though, and I'm not middle-aged (yet!), so you're not alone! Happy TT!
Mine is a list of random things about me. http://stephenanderin.blogspot.com
LOL, your list was so true. Thanks for visiting my TT.
With just being 20 I'm definitely not middle aged by age and by by signs luckily neither, hehe.
*whew* I am relieved to say that I have not hit middle age yet. :)
Happy TT!
It looks like I'm well on my way to middle age.
Yeah... back when I was a kid the M in MTV stood for music.
Happily, my lawn proves I'm young.
Wow, I thought I had time having just broken into my 30's recently, but the news shows and local on the 8's says that it might be rapidly approaching. :)
Happy TT,
~X
LOLOL Too bad I can relate to TOO many of them! LOL
Happy TT.. my list is up!:)
Oh, boy, I am sooooo guilty of #12. Seems I can't leave home w/out the information! What a hoot! Great idea for a TT!
Just returning a visit....have a great weekend!
Great list. I do a few and I am only half way to 50. :)
I'm safe, most doesn't apply to me!!
Thanks for visiting!!
Funny! i'm getting there :)
What happens when you're 25 and you fit the whole description? And when exactly is middle age? I'm thinking it's 50ish right? I've got a long way to go...
Happy TT...now I'm off to deal with this sudden bout of depression I'm dealing with...
lol.
