Well. . . nothing quite so long. . .
I had a co worker ask me a couple of weeks ago, it seems like, "Can you believe it's May already?"
To which I responded, "Nope."
This was May, 1999. Doesn't seem that long ago. . .
I'll tell you what gets to me. Sozobe kinda hit on it earlier. I see someone that looks like a person I knew years ago, went to school with maybe, but I have to remind myself that it couldn't possibly be my old school chum because they would look my age instead of like this twenty year old I'm confusing them with.
That's kind of a hard one to swallow.
You tell a chick you were in the service - she asks which war?
Since Equus took mine regarding the liquor store...
When you run into an old girlfriend from high school, who was dumb as a post, but beautiful, and she's married, a lawyer, and making far more money than you, or is that me....heh heh...
About 15 years ago, I went to a high school reunion and wondered who all the middle-aged people were, and what they were doing at MY high school reunion. I can't imagine what I'd think if I saw them now.
High School Reunion
High School Reunion
By BumbleBeeBoogie - 1995
A telephone call came from out of the blue---
We're getting together and we need you
to help us organize a reunion of peers
after an amazing span of fifty years.
As I drove to the restaurant in a suburban town
childhood memories, long forgotten, were found.
At our '57 ten year reunion I'd seen classmates last
and eventually lost track of them and of my past.
As I entered the meeting room, I gasped with surprise,
at white-haired people with bifocal-covered eyes
and stiff joints and waists no longer thin,
bald pates where thick brown hair had been.
I looked in their faces for signs of their youth
as I struggled with the unwelcome astonishing truth.
What were all these old, old people doin'
at my high school class fifieth reunion?
... people in those trendy shirts with (presumably) their year of birth on them start to really get you down.
<mutters: nineteeneightyTWO!?>
On this board, a young'n didn't know right off the bat who Steve Martin was. My housemates last year didn't know who Cheap Trick were.
I think it's fun that the clothes I grew up with are in fashion again. Hipsters, crochet, flower power.
I don't know what's wrong with you guys but when I look in the mirror I see the same 20 year old with a few "character' lines......

Oohhh, and this whole eighties retro thing! Its starting to really boggle the eyes! I mean - like, sweet Moroccan girls in headscarves wearing the belt I got frowned about by uncles because it was too punk! And the hippest kids in town reverting to wearing **** that really aint funny when you had to grow up with it! I mean - sweatbands! Really!
NO!!! Not leg warmers!!!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze, say it ain't so!
Are they wearing legwarmers again???? With pumps?
leg warmers yep. with pumps, I've only seen in the magazines. Look up Delia's catalogue on a search engine.
I've seen those leg-warmers again.
They didn't look good the last time round. They don't look any better now.
I even saw someone ... oh, i can't bear it.
When my daughter asks why are old films & TV progs are in black & white.
When I wind up the grandfather clock & I'm can't keep up with it & I'm always at least 30 mins behind it.
When I showed my daughter how to do long division & multiplication, she said can't you use a calculator dad. I told her we didn't have them when I was in school. So we learnt to use our brains instead
