Guest Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I realised 20 years ago I was 13 and suddenly I don't feel so old. It's weird to think about how a little bit of time changes who you are. 20 years doesn't feel so long. A lot has happened in 20 years, but as a 20 year old I don't feel old, so why should I at 30? 40? 50? 60? all young. why even is 80 old? we came up with quantum physics in 1920. That's literally 100 years ago. Anyting under 100 is therefor, young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 wait the internet says kindergarten is 5 years, is that right? I thought I was 6 in kindergartne. if I was 5, then I was 10 and in 5th grade, when I was social with my class of 9. I was 18 in senior year at high school, so grade 9 I was 15, grade 8 14, 7 13, 6 12 5 11 so I was in 4th grade. Who was I socializing with in 4th grade? I was such a loner in 4th grade. maybe I was friends with isaac and his dad? that might've been what gave me the memory of the turn of the century. wow, he would've been 8. interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 In the late 1960s, we figured that we would look like this in the far future (like the 2020s) when visiting the spaceport for our Lunar vacation. Are we there yet? We could drive this to get to the spaceport: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is too close for comfort. Went into a restaurant for lunch on Monday and, at the end of the meal I was given a card to fill in. One of the questions, with tick boxes, was how did you hear about us? Options were all various social media platforms and “other”. I ticked “other” and wrote “walked in off the street.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I thought he was in his 50s.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
