You leave yourself notes everywhere about what not to forget to do!
You notice dampness in your pants when you laugh too hard or sneeze.
You don't give a darn if your outfit, bag, shoes don't match and are not of the latest styles.
You catch yourself saying, "In my day..."

You get a headache when the music is too loud. (And it's not even that loud anyway)

I can relate to this! I could not care less who the new singers are anymore! I only like to listen to my old music, LOL! The gray hairs thing, yes definitely, and the cellphone thing, I totally agree on. I just want a phone that functions as a phone, thank you, not a camera, GPS, and back massager! ha ha!
