I missed this because I wasn’t a member/guest back in 2008.

If it isn’t too late to add, I was decanted in 1960.

\*\*Stephen (“Steve”) and I would agree. 🙂

**1951 here. Sex life??? Refresh my memory, what’s that?**

As is my second oldest nephew, on September 3. He has a lot to look forward to this year. I think. His one older brother had to have this great experience exactly one year ago tomorrow. At the most recent family gathering I attended, both of them and their younger brother (August 2, '65) were making jokes to the next generation (my grand-nephews and -nieces) about not having mobile phones and having to walk 8 miles to the nearest pay phone. 😃

Not to be outdone, I reminded everyone that I had to walk TWELVE miles to school and back. And it was UPHILL both ways!

… And then my jokes got really silly. :rolleyes:

1. 

I can’t believe you kids born in the '80s and '90s are even old enough to be out of the house unsupervised. Our freshmen were born around 1995, when I was 30!

Get off my lawn!

Apparently I missed this thread the first time around…

I’m another ‘Summer of Love’ 1967 baby. It wasn’t quite planned that way, though…I was a 20th anniversary ‘surprise’ for my parents 🙂

No, you get off MY lawn.

1945, exactly 3 months before the first Boomer.
