Nice.

I think I need to go back farther in time (to the 60s) to feel old. Most of it doesn't do it for me.

Something I saw on TV the other day made me feel old ...

I was watching a game show on TV and the question was:  Frank Shuster of "Wayne & Shuster" fame had a cousin named Joe who is famous for co-creating what?

The answer is Superman, which I already knew, but what made me feel old was I know who Wayne & Shuster are and watched them all the time when I was growing up

Kids born in 1995 didn't graduate this year...some of them are still only 16, in fact. So unless they skipped a grade, it would have been the September '93 through August '94 babies graduating this year. Or depending on the cut off date, perhaps just '94.

She was born in Feb '68, 6 months after I, that makes her 45, not quite yet in her fifties yet.

But boy, does time do a number on you...I'll admit I had a embarrassing crush on her for a part of the mid-eighties. She doesn't look bad, just looks like she has had a "life". Not as charmed as I would of thought though...but it does make me feel damn old.

Oh man, Spirograph. That's brings back memories-along with the Hot Wheels track. I think I had that.

I remember when I was about 7 or 8, I wanted Hot Wheels (only because the boy I had a crush on in 2nd grade had them). Well, Santa was nice to me that year and did get me Hot Wheels-and the track but I think I had wait about a week to play with them because by that time my father & older brother (who was about 20 at the time) were done playing with them.  ::)

You can also check ebay. I did . Search under "Spirograph, games" (otherwise you'll get loads of spirograph parts included in the search)


It was funny because after I wrote my last post here, I went over to Amazon and ordered a Spirograph-like toy (the original goes for boocoo bucks), I get a phone call from my sister who tells me of all the wonderful finds she got at a (as she called it) "an emergency yard sale"-including a Spirograph. I just started laughing. She asked what was so funny. I told her that as I was talking to her, I was looking at the Amazon checkout with the Spirograph-like toy on it. So we started talking about how high Spirograph goes for on eBay. But, now thanks to her (and to you), Spirograph is on my "look-out for" list.


Nah. Not as long as it's 'only' granddaughter #1, and not #14 who's turning 9. ;)


True. Not too sure if there will be a #14 but Grandbaby #6 is due next month & Grandbaby #7 is due on Christmas.  :o :o :o  Man, 7 grandkids. Now that makes me feel OLD!

You better make sure you don't buy this item, often-mistaken for Spirograph:

IMO, its not these people who are celebrating birthdays that makes me feel a little old, its the people who have passed away given how it seems a lot more people are passing on that I've experienced than in recent years. Just look at the celebrity heaven board. What makes me feel old perhaps more than anything else is seeing my favorite toys, albums, movies, books, video games, and merchandise from the toy franchises that I played with growing up being described as "vintage", and also the fact that my parents now have some toys they played with that are described as "antique".
