Guess what, fellow ’80s kids? We’re ALL hitting that magical milestone of 40 this decade! Yes, the big 4-0 is just around the corner for most of us (I turn 40 next year) and some of y’all are already there. There are plenty of undeniable signs that time is marching on and a lot of those signs are currently on Twitter.

Recently, the Twitter universe got buzzing with the hashtag “#SignsYoureInYour40s“, and oh boy, did it strike a chord! Here are some of the gems that had us nodding in both agreement and disbelief:

  • “Junior High Dance Flashbacks”: Picture this – you’re cruising down the supermarket aisles, and suddenly you realize that the background tunes are straight from your junior high homecoming dance. “This Is How We Do It.” Do what? Buy groceries?
  • Hangovers vs. Recovery Time: A night of indulgence now translates to an all-day hangover affair instead of a quick bounce-back. Ouch.
  • Age Restrictions and Laughs: The cashier at the store asks for ID before selling you age-restricted stuff and then chuckles, making you question if you’ve got some sort of Benjamin Button situation going on.
  • Kids, Kids Everywhere: Your social media feed has turned into a bulletin board of your friends’ kiddos and their latest achievements. Where did all those baby photos come from?
  • The Calculator Prophecy: Remember that teacher who insisted that you wouldn’t always have a calculator nearby? Well, I guess they didn’t foresee smartphones and watches.
  • Mystery Injuries: You wake up with aches and pains, and the biggest mystery is figuring out how they got there in the first place. Did we wrestle in our sleep again?
  • Directions in Time: Your navigation lingo includes “Let me MapQuest it.” Raise your hand if you’ve mastered the art of deciphering those turn-by-turn instructions.
  • The OG A.I.: When the phrase “artificial intelligence” comes up, you can’t help but think of Clippy, the helpful paperclip from Microsoft Office. He was our Siri before Siri was a thing.
  • From Jeeves to Google: You reminisce about the days when “Jeevesing” was a thing before we all resorted to the almighty Google. And yes, the ancient art of Googling was once all about the encyclopedias.
  • Birdwatching Bliss: Watching birds at the feeder becomes a serious source of enjoyment. You’re officially a bird enthusiast.
  • The Noisy Rise: When the simple act of standing up is accompanied by involuntary sound effects – ah, the sweet symphony of joints reminding you that you’re not a teenager anymore.
  • The Way We Fixed Our Gaming Consoles: Is your copy of Mario 3 not working? Don’t worry, I’ve got the perfect thing to fix it…

So, here’s to embracing the ’40s with open arms, laughter, and maybe a few extra stretches before getting out of bed. According to these Twitter users, we might be a tad older, but we’re still rocking it in true ’80s style!

These Celebrities Have An August Birthday

People born in August are either Leo (August 1-22) or a Virgo (August 23-31). For most of the month, that ferocious Leo energy takes center stage. Fire sign Leos are represented by a lion. They are passionate and theatrical, so it makes sense that a lot of successful actors and television personalities are Leos. This sign brings about natural leaders and are known to be loyal, putting their hearts into every endeavor. However, these positive, strong traits can be impaired by their ego, pride, and jealousy when they start to fear threatened. Definitely sounds like a celebrity!

In the last ten days of the month, Virgo season begins. Virgos are earth signs represented by a maiden. Virgo is the only sign to be represented by a woman, the goddess of wheat and agriculture. This speaks to Virgo’s deep-rooted presence. By nature, they are logical and practical in their approach to life. This earth sign can be known to be a perfectionist to a fault, but they aren’t afraid to improve through their diligent attitude.
