I guess I'm still a little old-fashioned, although I will admit my husband and I are complete opposites and I doubt eHarmony would have put us together! It makes our marriage interesting. :-)<BR/><BR/>Abi, I'm not crazy about that term either, but I guess I'd rather be a "boomer" than a "Gen-X." We're defined by the big boom in population after WWII. I never did quite figure out what the X means.

Hated it even when I was young, and now that I'm not-so-young I <I>really</I> hate it. Can't explain why, there's just something juvenile and dumbed-down about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-25126961265324193332007-09-13T07:24:00.000-04:002007-09-13T07:24:00.000-04:00Kathy, I met my love in 1998 on ICQ and we later t...Kathy, I met my love in 1998 on ICQ and we later transferred to Yahoo messenger. We communicated like that until 2003. At that point I packed up and moved to Singapore to be with her and I have been here happily ever since. <BR/><BR/>I was married for 36 years and was never as content as I am now.

She just gave me a blank stare and her mother giggled. It turns out the child never heard about records, apparently Sesame Street is on CDs now. Boy, did I feel old! <BR/><BR/>Mensch, thank you. She has her grandma's genes. ;-)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875378679299157108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-17569784783554058302007-09-12T16:52:00.000-04:002007-09-12T16:52:00.000-04:00Grace is adorable!Grace is adorable!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700522924668572455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18370478.post-56164837391325879172007-09-12T16:43:00.000-04:002007-09-12T16:43:00.000-04:00What a cutie!It's hard to believe how fast it has ...What a cutie!<BR/><BR/>It's hard to believe how fast it has moved in the past ten years-'97 was the year I started on the net, with a 386 computer. Digital cameras didn't exist (in mass form, anyway). Download movies? Are you kidding me? Couldn't be done.<BR/><BR/>Boom! look where we are now. It is astounding.<BR/><BR/>And to think I remember a time when we could only get three channels on the TV... and we had to walk ten miles in the snow uphill to change the channel... these kids today will just NEVER know the hardships we suffered.<BR/><BR/>;-)Cathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788493827778525153noreply@blogger.com
