Caribou Coffee had a trivia question about who was initially cast to play Indiana Jones. Answer: Tom Selleck (couldn't get out of filming obligations for Magnum, P.I.). I took one look at the question and quickly answered "Tom Selleck! Mmmm, I loved Magnum!" The CHILD behind the counter stared at me blankly, having no clue who either Tom Selleck or Magnum might be, and had to check the trivia card for the answer. Sigh.
I now look forward to Friday nights because a new Tom Selleck show is on. But it's on too late of course. |

1) Gave my daughter a lace t shirt dress and told her that it was the sort of thing that mommy wore when she liked Madonna 2) Had to explain who Madonna was 3) Had to say that no, she's not exactly like Lady Gaga, more like a hipster Britney Spears 4) Had to explain who Britney Spearswass 5) Smiled politley when she told me that Taylor Swift is the best singer in the world.
She likes to wear the dress with 'jegging's |

Yes, they also took place during a 25 year old's lifetime. Now if you had said you were alive during JFK's assassination, then you'd be old. |

Seriously. Go away young person. This isn't a thread for you. It's for people who watched Sonny and Cher growing up, and who remember events like Watergate. |

My grandmother LOVES Gaga. She gets all excited when it comes on the radio. I think it's because she is Italian and loves other famous Italians. Same reason she adores Madonna... I feel old when I see a child I babysat as a newborn or infant and all of a sudden they are a getting their license, or a senior in HS... I feel REALLY old when I get off the phone with my baby sister and wonder if she is alright because she seems to be partying too much on the weekends. I think I was much wilder than her when I was her age but I am still truly concerned for her and feel that she is making poor choices... I realize that I have a hand in the conversation when we are all scoffing at my aunt's parenting style, and realize that I am a more responsible mother to my infant than she is to her high schoolers. Never thought that I would be able pass that judgment on an "elder generation" with full approval from my parents and grandparents. Weird. Does that make me a real adult now? |

I feel old because for the first time in my life, I was annoyed with daylight savings. Yesterday was the longest day ever!
Nobody told my 7 month old that she should sleep in an extra hour, so that was lost on me and after taking care of her all day and cleaning the house while DH watched football I couldn't wait to go to bed. I sat there thinking "ok, it's only 8:00, but it's really like 9:00...can I go to bed yet?" Last year this time I was using the extra hour to sleep off my hangover. |

I was alive when JFK was assassinated. I had a black and white TV. I had a transistor radio. I took a hotpot to college (my roommate brought the popcorn popper). Gas cost 32 cents a gallon. I walked to school or rode my bike. In elementary school, we practiced getting under our desks and covering our heads with our arms in case of nuclear attack. My HS friends had 8 tracks. And CB radios. I sunbathed with baby oil. |

10:20, hope you weren't too hungover last year... if you have a 7 month old you must have been 4-5 months pregnant!
Totally second the rocking out at Giant. And that going there on Friday night is a night out for me. |
