You know you are old when

Thanks, I’ll look for this. Oh wait, my sub ends in 6 days. Well, I’ll look for it when I come back.

Instead of telling people I am 55 years old, I just say I’m level 55.

That is indeed troubling
However the artist is probably 22 and a cassette player must be like some ancient caveman mural he/she doesn’t understand

…but likes it because it’s retro, and fits in with the character’s theme.

As I look on the shelf over the monitor, and tilt the Radio Shack TRS Model 100 portable computer into view, trying to remember, does it have 128k memory, or it it 256k? MS DOS… Very thankful I took the batteries out 20 yrs ago… just checked…

True but if you are gonna go all retro get it right

I heard a comedian the other day say that this new generation of kids are not taught how to read or write cursive, which means us “oldies” will have a “Secret Code” of communication which only us will be able to understand! :grin: :+1:

This is true

It wasn’t part of my daughter’s curriculum

However they taught it to them for fun

I doubt mine can use it or read it however.

Really? Holy crap

This reminds me of something I’ve wondered for a while: What was the defining genre of the 2000’s?

40s: Swing
50s: Doowop, Afro-cuban Jazz, etc
60s: Rock and Roll
70s: Improved Rock and Roll, that we now call “Classic Rock”
80s: Punk/Rap
90s: Grunge/Gangsta Rap
00s: ???

Really, what is it? Auto-tune garbage?

LoL, so you would press the brake, expecting to disengage, but it wouldn’t, so you would press harder, and it STILL wouldn’t and you… Been there!

Did I mention I’m a blonde?! :joy:
