Playing the historian’s variation of the “6 degrees” game, this kinda blew my mind: In 1972, I was introduced to a sweet, 104 year old lady who took care of four generations of my family. Years later I did the math and realized I had spoken with a women who knew my ggg grandparents who were born in Virginia in the 1780s. So here in the 21st century, I’m only 1 degree separated from knowing people who lived in the 18th century. Not really here nor there, but just kinda shows how “ancient” history isn’t really so far away. So to bring it home, “you know you are old when: you knew people who knew people who could’ve known George Washington?” Edited November 10, 2023 by PrairieDog 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 When you check in at your doctors office and the 20 year old receptionist gives you that "you're my grandfathers age" look when she asks your age. It's odd, in my mind I still think I'm 30 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really my experience - a number of young girls still act like they wanna, not go home with me, but catch my attention. As if they instinctively would like to be noticed and appreciated by an old musketeer. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start looking up recipes for Pot Roast on line, or Shepherds Pie. The Benefits of Prune Juice. The best brand of tennis balls... to put on the legs of your walker. I guess the unsolicited ads I get on my computer are based on my searching for those things and not "How to train for marathons." "Are there really only FIFTY shades of gray?" etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Dolly said she was doing a rock album to go with her introduction into the Fall of Fame, I was amazed at the list of rockers wanting to help her. There's a lot of respect for her.
