    I am not even that old, but this made me feel old. When a group of kids said that the 90s music is considered old school. And they wanted to have a 90s themed party. Wha????

    My dad just emailed me to let me know that he was just talking to my fifth grade teacher, and she let him know that I was in her very first class, and now, after 19 years, she's switching jobs. I couldn't believe it had been that long....

    Sometimes when I tell stories to my kids, I can start them with 'this happened over 20 years ago'.

    People who where born in the 80's can drive :)

    Lol, they have been able to for quite some time. Even the latest born in 1989 are 23 now. Maybe you meant mid-90's?

    I was in the storage unit the other day looking for a dry bag. I figured it would be in with my old camping gear. I pulled out my old backpack that I had taken to New Mexico during one of the best trips of my young life. I dumped it onto the floor and picked up the dry bag I was looking for, it had something in it. I pulled out a Nalgene bottle from back when they still had the mountain lion on them. It was yellowed and kinda nasty looking. Then It hit me that this bag had been transferred around from family member to family member, never opened since the last time I used it in 1994!!

    The part that actually made me laugh is that as I picked up the bag I knew what other bags, straps and camping utensils were going to be in it 18 years later. It "feels" like I closed the bag and put it into my parents basement just last year...Didn't I??

    Kids born when I was a sophomore in high school just graduated from high school this year.

    In Back to the Future Marty went back 30 years to 1955, if that movie were made today he would go back to the year 1982 :noway:
