      If it were grey hair I would have been seeing the signs  at age 21 lol.... signs of aging for me is how I feel, mentally and physically , like, sometimes, when  I feel really really tired and run down, had a long week,  thats when I feel a sign of getting old or aging, but ...when I'm having fun and partying and feelin goooood , thats when I'm feelin younger so the signs of aging in are in reverse when I'm feelin good  ..

         Same here. In fact, I started feeling old when I realized I didn't shout at the TV anymore . . . when I started seeing things that annoy me and saying to myself, "well, who gives a damn anyway!"
         But really, in regard to feeling old, I recently attended a high school football game. It wasn't that I felt old by being surrounded by teenagers (not that it helped) but my reason for attending was because my friend's son was the senior defensive lineman. He's young for having a kid that age, but still . . .
