That's what I've always thought, too!

Kid's hearts beat faster than adults; therefore they have a different perception of time. The smaller the creature, the faster the heartbeat, the slower time moves.

That is not necessarily true. Many obese people have resting heart rates in the 100s. Mine is 65-67bpm, my 2 lb Chihuahua is 72 bpm. Go figure. . .

I know I'm getting old. We had a rotary dial phone just one , and it was in the kitchen. We had only one TV black and white with no remote. my mom stayed home and took care of us, making our clothes. We had a washing machine but no dryer she used a clothes line in the back yard. My Dads uniforms had to be stiff starched I well remember her doing that. We had a Crosley stove, and a Kelvenator refrigerator. Our house cost $15,500.00 a 2br 1ba with a car port on a standard city lot, 1 mile from the beach it has an ocean view sort of. It last sold 2 years ago for 1.5 Million, ridiculous. I loved that old house.

When somebody posts something to an old thread you started, and you see that you started it six years ago.

And you felt old then.... :haha:

Ha! we got sucked in to the Beta-max grove in 1982. The picture was better than VHS at the time, so the pron was always a little clearer.

Seriously? I had the impression that one of the reasons VHS won (the ONLY reason according to some people) was that Sony wouldn't license Beta to adult film distributors. Or, something.... one way or another, there was pron on VHS and not on Beta.

No, they wouldn't let other deck manufacturers use their proprietary system, trying to corner the market. The picture was better on beta, and the sound was an order of magnitude better. My buddy did a lot of music recording on beta, because you had to spend a fortune to get an audio tape recorder that was as quiet as the beta. I've still got a beta, along with a couple of VHS units, in the attic.

It's 1981. I'm a 23-year old freshman in college (spent a few years dicking around ;) ). My class goes on a field trip, and I bring along a stereo/cassette player with a couple of mixed tapes I made. The song Bad Company (major hit from a #1 album) plays.

Nobody in the bus knows the song.

lol Glinda!

I just had a You're Old moment. Was watching an episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and in the identity parade round, they showed a video clip of an indie band from 1994, then when the line up came on for the team to guess which one was the base guitarist, they all looked like old blokes! I thought shit! They're my age! I'm an oldie! I still think of the 90s as kind of modern. It's so not *sobs*

Heh, I put brand new 20 year shingles on the roof so I wouldn't have to worry about it... 22 years ago. :(

Yeah, when I programmed the station presets on my most recent car stereo, the oldies station was one I put in there. When the station came on after I programmed it, it was the Eagles. Hotel California. "Hey, I remember when that came out." Awww, shit. I'm old.

Eight grandchildren.

Wait what was I gonna post in this thread? Uggghhhh
