Hey everyone! I hope your doing well today. I was just thinking about when I was younger-in my 20's I would always get carded (had to show my ID) when I went in to get my husband's dip or my cigs. I always took it as a compliment because I looked young!
Then something happened...I hit 30 years old and no one carded me anymore for things! 
(Yes I know they are always supposed to-but they usually don't if you look old enough).
I am sad that I no longer look young enough to be carded! 
When did you stop getting carded?
The pic is of me 3 years ago

I got carded last weekend in Tampa when I went out to a bar with friends to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I just looked at the bouncer and said, "Are you kidding? Look at my hair. It's starting to go gray." He turned bright red and just waived me in.

@LovingMyBabies I hate being carded now because I keep my drivers license buried deep down in my wallet somewhere, and it's always hard for me to dig out and show! haha

I can believe that. You are very youthful looking-and yes, that IS a compliment!
I got carded until I was 29 or 30 and then it all stopped.
I remember when I was 49 a waitress taking our order while we were eating out asked if I was ordering the seniors breakfast-I wasn't 55, and still am not. I was upset and asked my husband not to leave a tip, but of course he did. And then a month ago we were both offered the seniors meal, and neither of us are 55, but we took it and laughed quietly with each other.

I sadly have not gotten carded in a couple of years and I will be 30 this year. 
My husband who is already 30 only recently started to not get carded. I feel so old ughh! I loved getting carded. Made me feel like I still looked young. Not anymore I suppose.

Good lord you don't look anything near 30. I usually tease the till worker telling her she has spoilt my day but not asking me for mine. They usually fall about laughing!

@garymarsh6 Lol that is too funny! I am more on the serious side which is why my husband is perfect for me because he is a jokester and keeps me laughing. =) He helps me to stay young mentally too-but not too young.

@LovingMyBabies Don't be like me though and keep your mental age of 8. I can't help myself! Even my grand daughter told me the other day when I was teasing her (she is six) One day you will grow up! That floored me I can tell you!

I always afraid of wearing jeans. Whenever I go and ride the police catch me and ask for all documents. I am really afraid of it. I do not want to mess up the thing stopping the things and give an opportunity to them to check my ID etc., So whenever I go on my bike I wear some casual dress and that too do not keep the shirt tucked. This is another problem as the stomach is totally flat and they would take me for a student of 28 years.

I just responded to a comment on my post about Social Security where someone said I didn't look my age. I was carded up until I was almost 30. I was called a little boy when I was 18 (which really ticked me off). But when I got older it was fun having people guessing my age because they always came up younger by at least 5 years.

@LovingMyBabies I certainly didn't like being called a "little boy" when I was 18. And I let the girl that called me that know I was not a little boy.

It has been many many years since I got carded. I was probably 30 the last time I got carded. Since the legal age here is 19 I felt quite flattered.
