Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1985. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? (Sorry) Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list. Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading.


Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

The ONLY thing I really like about this post is the bit about chocolate

Age is a state of mind. In my state of mind I'm still healthy, hale, and about 25 years old. I'm not wise, I'm not smart, but I'm not gaga at the fact that technology has exceeded me . (p.s. I don't have colitis)

I absolutely agree. I thought it was amazing to see the things we have witnessed in our lifetime though. I remember listening to my parents and my grandparents and being amazed at how many things happen in our lifetime(s).

I agree - I turned 45 in June. When my parents were 45 I thought they were much more "mature" than I am at the same age! My body feels 80 some days but my mind is still working on 20 most of the time! My kids think I'm nuts!

I'll take "NUTS" over "OLD"! LOL
