not really me but you get the idea.......  Cashier: "May I see some ID for the beer?" Me: "Sure." (holds up license) Cashier: "Okay, you're cool. I see the '1'." Me: "The '1'?" Cashier: "The '1' at the beginning of your birth year." Me: "Oh God..." Cashier: "Happy New Year!" |

Last time I was carded as I was getting my ID out my Blockbuster Video card fell out.
"Nevermind, you have one of those, that's good enough."
(That's a joke)

Now that's funny I don't care who ya are. I haven't been carded in AGES even in those places that require carding EVERYBODY. My Emmylou hair and turkey wattle betrays me. Though I might be hiding the latter soon, growing what ya might call a beard. But your Blockbuster card made me think, when did ya last clean your wallet? I regularly go look in mine, there must be SOMETHING I can toss, it's way too fat. It's a biker wallet, you know the one made of thick leather with the chain loop (chain long gone). Too full for either snap to close. No space left for money after all the plastic inside. (Hafta carry a money clip.) No, not so much bank cards, but grocery and other club cards, business cards, vehicle docs, CCW and a pack of these cards:   |

Last time I was carded it was for a specific Sr. over 65 discount. I looked at the young lady and said "are you serious? I have grandchildren older than you." I then showed her my VA medical card, she looked at me and said "oh, you were in WWII." Now I really wanted to slap her but could only laugh, so uneducated it was pathetic.  |

I have not been carded in decades. But my wife was carded regularly up through 40. She loved it. But I'm like..... So what, I'm Methuselah? Yes sir, I'm afraid you are. Or... that's not the name on your ID sir! |

"oh, you were in WWII."
When my dad was working at TSA taking knitting needles from little old ladies one of his younger, more urban and less educated co-workers asked him which side he fought for in the Civil War.... He never could figure out if the kid was serious or joking. |

He never could figure out if the kid was serious or joking. 10 years ago, or so, we took my grandson to SeaWorld. He was getting one of those caricature drawings, and the artist was asking me about my Air Force ball cap. After explaining to him that it was a gift from a friend who's daughter was in, and that I was a Navy man. He proceeded to ask me about being in WWII. (He was serious) |

I haven't been carded since I was 30 or so (I had a baby face up until about then). I HAVE gotten senior discounts without the clerk checking me or me asking for them, but they were YOUNG kids...

About a year ago I was carded at Walmart for purchasing spray paint.
On New Year’s Eve Barbara was carded for buying some party favors for our 20 year old daughter because in the package of hats and noise makers they had the hand help poppers that when you pull the string it pops out streamers.

A couple of observances along the same vein... Ever notice how much longer it takes as the years go by to scroll down to find your year of birth, when registering for appointments, purchasing travel docs, etc online? I've always been very close with my daughters, even now when they are into their 30's and married. When we visit them or they come down to visit us, they still like to hang out with me at the lake or go fishing, to concerts, restaurants, etc. Just to stave off any raised eyebrows or comments from servers or other folks we come into contact with during these outings, we usually find a way to let them know we're father/daughter right off the bat  I look my age...I'll never be mistaken for a young'un again. The Mrs is only 4 years younger than me...she's aged a lot better Lots of little signs like this that we're no longer the young men (or ladies) that our mind lets us to believe we still are... |

By little signs do you mean like when “the mind says yup, go ahead, you got this and the body says sure why not, go ahead I dare ya or just pain nope it ain’t gonna happen and you’ll be sorry”. |

Ross, does that include time spent on the throne messing with games on the cell phone, or is it restricted to just "business?" |

That's funny right there. When I was a young man Ohio was a 3-2 state. At 18 you could buy 3-2 beer and at 21 you could buy regular beer/wine nd liquor. My hair started receding very early so I was buying the good stuff at 17.
