Me too K zoo. I didn't watch color TV until I went to college in 1975. (68 too).

Boco...don't matter what happened to Danes...mine were Swedes!

BP,you must be a decendant of Ulf the Quarrelsome.

I'm sorry Boco...it was just too much to resist.

I'll buy the first round at FHA come January.

Thinking this just today. Back when the missus and I were just getting going and struggling and well we're here now and just a different kind of struggle for us now. The more things change the more things are the same or is it the other way around, I really don't know these days. Maybe the grands will figure it out one day.

I don’t know how often it happens, too much thinking, but I graduated high school in ‘72 and this year I turned 72.

I would say she is as smart as a bag of hammers,,,but that would be an insult to the hammers.

That has nothing to do with what I posted.

If she is what you thought of when you read my post...then I hope you voted for her....beacuse she is definitely on your mind.

Phones connected to the wall, then pagers, the first big box car phones that had to stay in a car to a phone in my pocket with more powere and ability than my first PC. Dial up internet, at home to 5g in my pocket. AI and the acceleration of technology. From production to weapons and tracking an entire population.

Things are only going to progress faster and faster as the information flow does.


On a personal note years used to seem to take forever now they fly by. Intrest have drastically changed nad focuse is more outward. For example I get great joy from things I never paied attention to before. A good example is watching the kids in the 4 h program grow. and mature watching their success and growing understandings abilities. Like posting art from kids I dont know being proud of them and their ability.

Same age as swamp except born in March all I know is like my mom always said the older you get the time flies faster

my whole family was/is math people and computer scientists. This was "coding" when I was little, and now my old phone has WAY more computational power than the whole world back then. And I'm not old. I also work in IT academia and the progress is scary. Ironically my professions, which I used to make money with, have been made obsolete by computers and AI. Nothing good ahead for me anyway, the last few years have been a joyless blur, time flies. I think I've lived enough and should free up space for others... get run over by a train maybe

My dad (1910-1998) once wrote: From the old dishpan to electric dishwashers; From the old woodburning cook stove to microwave ovens; From handtools to robots, from scratch to computers, and from quiet roads to crowded streets and freeways; From bullets to nuclear missiles; From pristine to the polluted.

He was describing the changes he had seen in his life.

....and from my small corner of the world....(Hey Tatiana....nice knees)!

K-zoo I was born in 1955 in Pa. My dad 98 still uses the backhouse in nice weather. All of us that want to go back to our youth need to come to the Lord Jesus and to be born again in spirit. This old worldly body is going to death, but we need to be with the creator in the future after we leave this world. Only thing I know that gives me peace.

A person cannot forget something that stupid. And to think millions of people did vote for her.
