Coming up on 30...realising that my twenties disappeared rather quickly and that if my thirties go any faster I'll be over the hill before I've achieved anything!

I'm turning 26 next month. I've noticed that this year I began saying stuff like : "In my days...."

Damn, I feel old.

You know you're a child of the 80's when:

1. You ever ended your sentence with "psyche"
2. You watched the pound puppies
3. You can sing the rap to "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"
4. You yearned to be a member of the Babysitter's Club, and started a club of your own
5. You owned those little scented Strawberry Shortcake Dolls
6. You know what 'whoa' means from Blossom
7. Three words: M.C. Hammer
8. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales"

24. After you saw Pee-wee's Big Adventure, you wouldn't stop saying, "I know you are, but what am I?"
25. You remember "I've fallen...and I can't get up!"
26. You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

35. You remember those very stylish headbands
36. You remember the beginning of New Kids on the Block

And if that's not enough, http://www.megsplace.com/TimeWarp/child.html

Damn, thought I was doing OK until I got to number 18.

...the real pain and suffering begins at 35, when you are no longer in that "target market".

Perhaps when I arrive @ that age, it will be the 'target market' age.

I just turned 30 on the 4th.... I feel old

All of you virtual teeny-boppers are making me (1) laugh, and (2) feel old.. very old..

So excuse me now, as I head back to that sauna full of climbing babes.

Cheers

Deleted sexual innuendo

Stop it you guys....I'm 39...how do you think I feel? I remember the Monkies on tv (the first time 'round)

Sheesh

Sigh.. another young'n..

They all seem rather young don't they

This thread is reminding me that it is my birthday tomorrow (26) and that I am getting old :-(

-Mike

Oh shut up!

Happy birthday to ya.

Ya, Happy Birthday.

I don't even remember being 26.. must've been a good year, then!

(Oh, Mark blows a ki.. a sigh.. yeah, a Sigh, to Laura!)

Yes, they do sometimes.

Pity (for me anyhow) that most all of them are male.

-ml

LOL. Be careful or you'll get Tony going again!

Ah, I shouldn't have implied that I am older than they are. I stuck my foot in my mouth that time

Thanks for the happy bdays. You guys need to watch your flirting with all the impressionable young minds around here

A little harmless flirting is always fun.

Actually, I just assumed you were one of them! No woman I know is over 29. Or so they all claim..

Cheers

I know more guys that lie about their age than women. I've never lied about mine to anyone but I am glad that I look much younger than I am But I'll be 29 again, I don't mind.

Sigh.. another young'n..

Look who's talking!

I strongly suspect that the oldest people on this bbs, in descending order of age are:

tanstaafl.
henno
bonzi
schofiel

with a combined age of more than 200 years.

tanstaafl.

I feel better all ready.

"with a combined age of more than 200 years"

I always get a real kick out of that kind of statement...I see it so much in advertising in law firms and such...kinda like a company with 400 employees that have been there for a year each...

"Put 400 years of experience to work for you! - Bloggins Law Firm" ha ha
