Rudynate

It doesn't mean you're in denial. It just means that you haven't allowed an age difference to isolate you from each other. But then, you allowed "reality" to ruin your "illusion." I like to run around with men who are half my age. That doesn't mean that I think I'm just like them, or that I'm not as old as I am. It just means that I don't think an age difference is a reason not to have somebody as a friend.

When my father was older, I took care of him. I was surprised to see that he was uncut. But, in retrospect, it made sense. He was born at home in an immigrant community where everybody spoke German.

A boss I had didn't own a vehicle and didn't drive - he took cabs everywhere he went. It seemed really wasteful to me, but after I did the math, I realized his transportation expense was probably way less than it would have been if he owned a car. My husband and I started hiring a car and driver to take us to the airport because it only cost a little more than a cab, for a lot of additional luxury and convenience. Then the rates for the car and driver went way up and we went back to cabs.

Western New York, when I was a kid, was pretty rural and fairly old-fashioned. Even in the late 50s or early 60s, one encountered outhouses from time to time.

Another thing I remember is banks with ornate interiors - some looked almost like churches. My favorite was Rochester Savings Bank -all marble, polished granite, brass, mosaic and stained glass. When I was 13 or 14, I opened a savings account there just to have a reason to go in there regularly.

I have pretty clear memories of events that happened when I was 3 yo, but not before that.

No, nobody was fat. Sure, guys got guts as they aged, but really huge people, commonplace now, were very rare. In his 50's, my father had a completely flat stomach.

Wordstar is truly from another era. Pre-DOS even. I don't think of Netscape as being that old. I worked pretty closely with several of the founders of Netscape. A web browser is still a web browser, although modern browsers have capabilities unimaginable in the early 90s.

On hot summer days, the ice man would give us chips of ice. Even though it was only ice, we all just loved it.

My grandfather was born when his father was 61, in 1885. The father, himself, was born in 1824. There's a family plot in a tiny country cemetery in western New York. The cemetery has a number of vets from the War of 1812. One of the major disappointments of my grandmother's life is that the DAR wouldn't take her as a member because she couldn't document an ancestor that was part of the Revolution.

I think they may still have them in the rural south. When I used to visit my mother in Starkville MS, most of the retail was closed on Sunday.

The yellow ones were "Top Value" stamps. Star Markets gave those out. There were also "Plaid Stamps." I think the A & P gave those out.

Even wordperfect allows you to save your work as a .doc file. Of course, .doc files have been rendered obsolete by the .docx format.

Most pe Most people had turntables that played at 78 or 45 or 33.33 or 16, although I have never seen a record meant to be played @ 16RPM. The children's record players that I remember from early childhood played at 78 and 45. It is worth noting that turntables are available again. There are people who just think that the sound quality from an analog recording cannot be beat, so manufacturers are producing analog equipment again. Have no idea what speeds these turntables play at, but probably at least 33.33

Everybody had a turntable with that speed. Record albums made for that speed were called "long-play" records.

There was all this talk about "blue laws" and what they did and didn't allow to be sold on Sunday.

smoking and non-smoking on airplanes was a fairly recent innovation - late 70s. My landlord was a snobbish older gay man who quit smoking because he felt like a second-class citizen sitting in the smoking section - whatever works. I clearly remember air travel in the 60s and early 70s before they had separated smokers and non-smokers

We had Kresge's, Newberry's and Grant's. I used to do chores and errands for my mother and a couple of the neighbors for pocket money. I would go downtown to the lunch counter at Newberry's and get a ginger ale and an order of french fries. I think it cost 49 cents.

When I started college, my roommate got me an inexpensive calculator as a Christmas present. At the time I thought, "What a dumb present!" Little did I know how much use I would get out of that little calculator that had only cost a few dollars.

When first-class postage was 4 cents and you could mail an unsealed letter for 3 cents

How about before ZIP codes were introduced?

When we got our first dial phone The ice man making regular deliveries to neighbors who still had iceboxes Milk delivered in a horse-drawn wagon Utility bills on punch cards that said "do not bend fold spindle or mutilate" When most doctors had their own offices that were usually in old converted houses When most people only had one car When most people still had old radios in their living rooms that they stopped using when they got their first TV When most people had wringer washers and hung their laundry out to dry When my parents had friends over at night to play Canasta When everybody smoked everywhere and nobody thought a thing about the dangers of second-hand smoke The Jack LaLanne show Eisenhower's presidency The Cuban Missile Crisis When women wore hats to church When my mother got dressed up and wore white gloves just to go shopping

D = I come undone over a hairy ass.

Boys in the Sand was the first feature-length gay porn I ever saw. I was just enthralled by Casey Donovan.
