Ageing Thread

not to like, call you stupid or anything, but yeah - you're gen x.

Its kind of sad but it is almost getting to that. 56 years old and lets see, three surgeries on each knee, four surgeries on my back, two on my right arm, three abdominal surgeries, one crainiotomy, two cranial gamma treatments, multiple eye surgeries (none cosmetic), several broken bones over the years, plus all the normal childhood things.  The freakiest for me was when they had to do the steroid injections into my eyeball for bleeding around the optic nerve.  Nothing like a hypodermic needle aimed at your eyeball to get you a little nervous.  BTW I trust you had a good time at the show as well?

Wouldn't this be the Millennials or whatever the 1980 and on generation was termed?  Gen X'ers are what, 34 at a minimum these days. 

im referring to RB (gen x) thinking that twenty-somethings (millennials) are attracted to wealth, not age/appearance.

LOL Me gen-x!  That has to be one of the funniest and most absurd things written on this forum ever.

I am actually more baby boomer than anything.  Born 1955.  Then again I am not all that into labels.  <Most of them are rather silly and just go to further divide society.

Being part of the baby boomers doesn't please, I have no need for the Rogaine, little blue pills or the Eagles, etc...
i'm fairly certain at one point i was at the very beginning of Gen-x, but it appears the "experts" can't agree on when it actually starts as seen in the wikipedia article.  Wasn't Henry Rollins at one time considered Gen-X even though we was born late 50s?

Tom Tomorrow had a This Modern World comic years ago that featured him lamenting to Sparky that he didn't feel that he fit into either the boomers or Gen-X. He was born in 1961 (same year as Rollins) and felt that the media had him wedged in between the two demos. Sparky declared him a "wedgie".

I'd post the comic but Tomorrow's archives are down.

[kosmo vinyl]

ooh i like that... being called a wedgie

[kosmo vinyl]

I was surprised to find out that Ian Brown turned 50 this year, thought for sure the Stone Roses would have been in their 40s.  So a prototypical Gen-X band are actually a bunch of wedgies

I knew they were older.  They were an 80's band.  Around since the early 80's I believe.

61 is a baby boomer.  He isn't a wedgie.   He should just embrace his baby boomerness.

You being a baby boomer does explain your musical taste.

well that pretty much seals up this week's POTW.

Why is it everyone on the 9:30 board considers themselves young looking and hot, then when you actually meet them, they are total dorks (meself included)? Get over yourselves! 

you can be young looking and dorky.  I don't do board meet-ups. I did one once on another message board and I ended up having this female live with me for 10 months due to that meet-up and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
