SaffronDuchess -> How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/1/2013 3:32:34 AM)

You're older when ....

it never crossed your mind that there could be a kinky facebook (even if you were an internet pioneer and met your better half through mirc chat in the 90) (for all you young ones: that was before cell phones, facebook; in the dark ages of the internet. Back then email was cool.)

it doesn't cross your mind to look for people you meet on collarme on fetlife (sighs - don't ask)

Oh, and last not least, older ppl like me are less likely to figure out that those cool emoticons that other ppl have in their posts are right there in front of your nose. Gosh in spite of me not wanting to get older I do sense a certain lack of trial and error attitude. Can anybody relate?

MasterCaneman -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/1/2013 9:24:14 PM)

Get off my lawn.




NoBimbosAllowed -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/1/2013 10:42:24 PM)

as you stand naked looking in the mid-length mirror and realize you need the full-length mirror to see your BALLSACK, you hear your own voice in your head screaming

YOU'RE

OLLLLLLLD

BEEEEEATCH!




garyFLR -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:12:23 AM)

You realise you're old when you find yourself wandering around Asda's, naked, with a pair of underpants on your head, & your carer is saying 'come on dear, come back to the home & have a nice cup of tea & a Jammy Dodger, Neighbours is on in an hour'.

Old age sucks! I can tell you [:)]!




AMaam4bois -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:27:38 AM)

What sux worse than aging, is age-ism. BDSM is a place to honour the Elders...




garyFLR -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:54:29 AM)

I certainly hope so [:)]!




TNDommeK -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 12:06:25 PM)

Oh dear God! This is what I'm looking forward to?
I'm already on the coffee one!
I would totally take a metal detector to the beach....or anywhere for that matter.
AHHHHHH!

:)





Hillwilliam -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:08:05 PM)

The second thing to go is your memory.
I forgot what the first was.




igor2003 -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:30:53 PM)

I keep hearing people talk about "hashtag" this, and "hashtag" that. Then they write some word and put a pound sign in front of it. Does that mean I'm getting old?




jlf1961 -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 2:47:23 PM)

My first grade teacher was a cool dude named Socrates. And togas in winter are fucking cold as shit.




freedomdwarf1 -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 3:02:47 PM)

Some other things that remind you that you're past your sell-by date -

When "PC" meant a new Personal Computer.
When a mouse was a furry thing running across the kitchen floor.
When a "floppy" was something you suffered after a drinking binge.
When a 'smart phone' was a phone that had a re-dial button on it.
When a weeee was something you did in the toilet.
When a tablet was some sort of thing you swallowed.
When a keyboard was used to play music.
When a tower was a place where people lived.




Lucylastic -> RE: How to tell old ppl from young ones .... (10/2/2013 7:13:29 PM)

I remember when
Q>"whats the difference between a woman and a computer?"
A> " A computer will happily take a 3 1/2 inch floppy"
Was new
(I heard it on a commodore BBS )

Oh the good old days of mirc. I remember a Christmas day when both my partner and I were chatting on our laptops on there and totally confused a guy who insisted that 2 different people could not be online using the same IP address. Kept us amused for a couple of hours. There were certainly some weird and wonderfull folk and I can't tell you how many times I was banned from one of the UK chats.

Wish I was back in those days. Not because mirc was good its just that I realise now how bloody old I am
