Doug Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 I joined this forum and started listening to World’s Finest Podcast when it began, while I was in 6th grade. I graduated college last month and am starting a career as a National Accounts Manager later this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Randomly thought about Almost Famous while driving home. Specifically why I like the movie as much as I do. I was 15 when I saw it, so was the main character. He was all about rock music and I was at my height of being an Aerosmith fanboy. Makes all the sense in the world. Then I realized I am now older than every single character in the film, sans the mom. How did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Random thought of yesterday: 17 years ago this month, I had my last haircut. Which, seeing as I am 34, means I have gone half my life with long hair. In that context, I feel old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Even then, it was short, but not like it is today.) These days, the bald spot and receding hairline means long hair would not look good.

slothian Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I miss my long hair. I'm not re-growing it because I work in law and there are certain expectations etc etc. But man, it was a real aid in my student days in terms of getting female attention.

Molly Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm growing mine out for obvious reasons. We'll see what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I can't grow long hair. (HA HA! Bald joke.) My hair is naturally extremely curly, so when it gets long, it gets puffy. Example: For a good number of years as a kid I had a rat-tail (because it was the 80s and early 90s) that went down to my butt. However, you would never know it because it curled up so tightly it only looked an inch long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran for prosecutor the next year, and won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-T Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Another entry in the “I can’t do that at my age” category: My 6 year old asked me if I could make the hula hoop go. I could do that pretty well in 1987, when I was 13. The results in 2020 were not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 The local rock station considers "No More Tears" to be "vintage." I feel personally attacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-T Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 I have a picture of me at 2 years old in front of a giant box TV. The picture was from 1976. I was explaining the TV to my sons - the one where you had to walk over and turn the dial to change the channel, where you got three channels over the air and could only watch something when it was broadcast. They were lost on how it worked. No Disney Plus? No streaming? How is that possible? They are 8 and 6. The rotary phone attached to the wall was even harder to believe.
