    I played Legend of Zelda on Nintendo, I can still hear the sounds of Mario jumping in and out of pipes in Super Mario Brothers. Yelling out "HADUKEN" when play fighting with my son.

    Today I bought gas and it was $3.67. When I started driving, it was about $0.90! Used to get mad if I had to pay over a $1. I'm only 35, but those prices make me so OLD.

    I really wanted the "kid" that pulled up next to me at the red lights today to turn his base down on his stereo! That makes me feel old, I used to love music blaring and pumping!!

    When a local radio station had a competition between 3 DJs to play a set of three songs that are "party songs", and you had to vote for the best set. I couldn't believe the one with "Jessie's Girl" and "Piano Man" came in last place!

    Our first computer was an IBM for $2,000. My husband told me we would never be able to buy a computer for less. It did not have a hard drive and had one slot for the 5 1/2 floppy disk. Also... ALL my doctors are alot younger than I am!

    Absolutely, and if that isn't bad enough when you get to your birth year there are that many catagories beneath yours.....

    The fact that kids starting high school this year were born in 1998.
    So very true!!!

    OMG I got married in 1998! My 20 year HS reunion is next year. This sucks. I'm going to listen to Pearl Jam's "Black" and feel sorry for myself.
