I was fine in such situations until my facial hair started sprouting a bunch of bone white hairs intermingled with the rest...
It's character building.

Not far from this group on the list...
alt.binaries.sounds.78rpm-era (actually has much much more)

Most of the rest of you suck.

One knows one is getting old when one remembers growing up placing an old car generator and a battery on one's go-cart for propulsion in the late sixties, and an inverting AC backup generator was several hundreds of dollars, if not thousands...
...To today where nobody has ever heard of a generator for a car, and the AC backup device is sold in three sizes down at the Costco store or at the "Home Improvement" store for a couple hundred bucks...
Back then, a dollar would buy ten packs of baseball cards, and now, it takes $2.50, and there aren't even ten cards in the pack, and NO GUM!
Talk about society getting lame. I hope that thumpy thumpy shit vibrates their friggin cars apart!
Never thought that *I* would be complaining about kids, and noise from car stereos, but those little bastards are total retards.

That little girl was real far behind to have no exposure to the Beatles! Doesn't matter how young she was.

I use a single 15 watt fluoro for room light, and have ridden a bike to work for the last ten years, at least.
Frugal non-polluter.
I won't go there but I will mention that I now have three _great_ grandchildren.
The other OF thread(s) reminded me of some things I know that're now "trivia":
1) Considering wire specs, what do the terms scc, dcc, ssc, and dsc mean, and 2) why don't you see them any more?Sigh.

Ha, I looked it up.
Same reason that "silk screens" are generally not made with silk anymore.

True. When oldest daughter was born I was 22 and in my senior year at MIT.

No, he's here for the abuse.

Formvar doesn't soak up water, burn easily, or get eaten by bugs.
I read that the first electric motor was built by a guy who ripped up his wife's silk wedding dress to insulate the wires. Now *that* was a brave man.
