    1. Friends from high-school are becoming grandparents or watching kids graduate high-school.
    2. Everytime I see one of those "you must be born before today's date in "INSERT YEAR" to purchase alcohol" signs

    The fact that kids starting high school this year were born in 1998.

    Also, some of my friends are having 2nd children, moving into houses, having mortgages, etc.
    And here I am, moving into my parents basement with my fiance and 2 dogs. HUZZAH!!

    I graduated from my IT degree the year Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web :laugh:

    Can you imagine doing an IT degree, or in fact anything, without a readily-accessible internet?

    Edit: I hate the fact you can't edit badly-spelled topic headers :explode:


    I listen to music with people who can ACTUALLY SANG, The Writers are Creative and Original and don't Sample: Like Aretha, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Supremes, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cook, ARETHA, ARETHA, ARETHA!!!

    That I am old enough to file for Social Security this summer, some of my grandkids are old enough to vote. On the flip side, I rocked till 2 a.m. last week to an awesome band that plays current music, and a 14 (maybe 15) year old driver wanted to drag race me (my Charger really) on main street the other day. You are only as old as you feel.

    Hmmm. My kids consider techno the grandfather of dubstep.

    My first car was a 1980 Chevette and I had a boom box with D batteries in it because the radio didn't work.

    I can remember having "party lines" where you had to share a phone line with 2 or more neighbors in the small town I grew up in. (You could actually pick up the phone and hear their conversation.)

    We had those too and a family friend STILL has the old Rotary phone that came with those. My son had no idea ho to make a call on it! :)

    Another fact: the fact that i've been using the internet for the last 17 years and trying to explain to younger people how it has changed and that it wasn't always this fast and that webpages didn't look like this...

    Remember playing Larry on the computer without our parents knowing on the Tandy 1000.
