Missy Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The other day, I realized that I am presently as old as my dad was when he took me out for my 21st birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The other day, I realized that I am presently as old as my dad was when he took me out for my 21st birthday.Holy shit.He was a young dad. I'm like 5 years older than my dad was when I was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Yeah, my folks were 19 (Mom) and 18 (Dad) when I was born.I also recently realized my maternal grandma was my age when her first grandson was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Wow. That's crazy. My parents married young but didn't have a kid for 10 years (they didn't want any). My grandparents also had my dad first (of 8) and relatively young after the war but that would make my grandparents well into their fifties before I came along.

Missy Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 It wasn't until this past January, when we had a joint birthday party celebrating my Gram's 83rd, my cousin's 45th, and my 39th, that I finally did the math and realized how young she was she first became a grandmother. (In fact, doing it again reveals she was 38, so I'm older than she was. Huh.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 At a friend's wedding reception, a toddler said I was "as old as a daddy", and proceeded to call me daddy for the rest of my time there. S'what beards do, me reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In fact, doing it again reveals she was 38, so I'm older than she was. Huh.)Not quite the same train of thought, but my surviving grandmother (97 next month) became a Granny for the first time in 1967 (aged 47) and for a final time in 1988 (aged 68). That last one being Pandy btw.Couldn't tell you the range for her great grandchildren but her first one born within wedlock was in 2007. Prior to that, I remember her remarking to me that she was fond of them all but perturbed by the fact that "they are all bastards".Still makes me chuckle!

Missy Posted April 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 That is one amazing granny! It made me think about something, too: I'm not sure any of my maternal grandmother's grandchildren were born within wedlock. (Mathematically it's unlikely I was, I've just never cared to ask.)

Missy Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 During episode 27 of A Cure for the Common Podcast, Kellen made a casual comment about being married. It was then I stopped dead in my tracks and realized he was 16 when Earth-2.net started up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was somewhere around 15-ish, when Mike, Dubs, James, Ian and I were all posting on the Oratory. I'm thirty. Married. Two kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm 31 and I know for a fact that I was 18 when I joined The Oratory in 2003 at the behest of my friend (and oWa partner) Fishdood.But I will allow nostalgia to willingly blind you!

Donomark Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I think I was 19 when I was listening to WFP and found the site through the Batman '89 review. I remember it being my first or second year in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Valentine's Day, 2009. I'd just got an iPod and wanted something to listen to on a long walk to the comic book store. I searched podcasts about Batman and stumbled on WFP. I listened to the first episode and a later one, I think one that had a heavy amount of Harley Quinn. I think I started posting here two months later, nearly stopped after I said something dumb and I wanna say Des (rightfully) yelled at me but decided to stick with it. I feel like I integrated in pretty well after that point.While I would say I'm in almost everyway at the same point in my life that I was back then (to the point that I'm living in the same apartment complex), I dunno. Not to be sappy but I don't like to imagine my life without nearly any of you. I feel like I'd be screaming a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kscriv Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yes Mike I was 16 when I started here and I was 14 when I started posting over at The Oratory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
