I think anyone would be foolish and remiss if they didn't take the opportunity to learn from an older generation. On that note, at what age should I start carrying around a spare pair of underwear?

If you've gotten to the point where you need to ask, then you should probably start now.

Puhleeze, no disco ! That music genre ruined my decade of excellent music...1970's. Damn you BeeGees and Donna Summer!!

I think i'm very respectable to any age of any person, and hope i'm treated the same. i know i'm youngish(23) but i like to think i'm being taken serious

a reply to: Greathouse

Lol

how you doing man

Like I just kicked life's puppy . Yourself ?????


But one thing I always do is tip my hat to a middle-aged guy with a newborn .


Are you guys going to have clowns at her birthday parties ? Lol

I'm just glad that there is such a wide variety of ages and genders here, it makes for much more interesting conversations and opinions.

But then I'm a weird sort that likes everyone I meet for at least a few reasons, and understand that most cycles can and will change with time.

I'm in my mid 40's so that may have something to do with it.

And I definitely don't like strange kids on my lawn lol.


Cheers!

What I'm amazed by is that you've figured out how to post on the internet, or at least your care-worker has been kind enough to show you.

And one more ...how about Party Phone Lines? no no...not those 1-900 numbers from the 90s, good golly the old school , pick up the phone and ASK for what number ya want.

" those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it "

Which is why history always repeats itself. That's why nothing gets better. The young uns think we're as useful as toilet paper and we are the only ones who will ever make mistakes. They, on the other hand are the wise, strong one's.

What's that other old saying? "Youth is wasted on the young"?

If they're all that, why do even they revert back to the "old" sayings?

Personally, I think everyone on the planet who is born starting tomorrow should have to Benjamin Button their way through life.

How f*****g interesting would that be?

And one more thing........there is a difference between angry and grumpy.........young and old. If people can't tell the difference .........

a reply to: LesMisanthrope

Lol was there before the internet, during it's conception, and was on computer boards and BBS before there were anything close to a global network.

It's the old folks who makes the kids toys.

:p

Hate to pee on your parade, but Toni Tenille filed for divorce a few years ago. Muskrat Love? I never did get that.

Apparently Daryl didn't either.


So there's your last chance Greathouse. You kids aren't getting any younger.
