You're six years older than my big sister. (And sorry, she's taken.)

At what time does one cease being a young pup? Though I was born in '62 and can feel 50 kicking at the door (or window, I cannot tell), I still would like to consider myself a "pup". Does it count if my dear old dad was stomping in the jungles in WW2. He joined before long before the rush after Pearl Harbor.
And no, I cannot ask him where I stand either. I lost him back in '78. Fred |

1974 here. Don't give up hope Paul..trust me..I am one ugly cuss and my wife still loves me...:D You've got to have me beat in the looks department! And, as for the other issues, well, she's bipolar, so I know a LOT about that. Just gotta find the right person.
In any case, Targan, AARP is known as the American Association for Retired Persons...or as our politicians know them "don't touch my Social Security or Medicare if you know what's good for you, Sonny!" Our Altekakers in droves. |
I lost my grandfather 6 April 2004 and my grandmother 21 January 2005. I had spent the last three and half years of their lives taking care of them. I had moved in to their home and provided 24/7 healthcare for them. Granddad had stopped calling me his grandson, and only referred to me as his SON. Grandmom was the same way. Begging my parents to come see them was an almost daily occurance, and everytime they would go to their house, they would drive right by my grandparents home.
My life had become nothing but taking care of them, sleeping just a couple hours a night with a monitor by my head listening for the two of them in case something went wrong. I have friends who can't believe all the things I have done for others, and keep getting hurt when people take advantage of me. the last convention i was at, someone told me that they had expected me to become a cold heartless bastard. but i just try to be the best person I can be. i try to do the right thing, no matter what. no matter how much i end up getting hurt, i still try to do the right thing. As for ARRP... it's been doing things that it's members totally don't agree with and is actually totally against the best interest of their members. I have been getting ARRP letters begging me to join, and i'm only 38. I sent them an email saying that I would only join ARRP if they would stop getting involved in political debates, and actually worked to get the best deals for retired people... They still haven't responded to my email.. |

Been out of the loop for awhile...so I'm catching up on the topics. :D
1965 here...and yes...I even still do a little RPGing now and then...me and another old dog player buddy tell the ladies we're having a 'poker night' but instead brake out the game chit instead LOL. |
1986!
Year of the (in)famous Chernobyl nuclear disaster :o |
1973 and not afraid to admit it. First started playing T2K when my cousin got the 1st Edition during the heart of the cold war. I'm still a gamer and I still have some 2nd edition books from the early 90's waiting for a chance to play.
On a side note regarding age: a few months ago one of the cashiers at work looked puzzled when a co-worker made a "dirty old man" crack directed toward me. She said "You're what, 27 or so?" I just smiled and told her she was my new favorite. |
I'm feeling my age at the minute :mad: New term has started at the uni where I manage the bars and this years crop of freshers weren't even born when I started working bars :(
|
1981 here and it seems that the kids who come into work are dumb as mud these days.

Group,
Born in '68, ran "Kalisz" in summer of '84. Not too long ago I was in a T2K game set in England (sort of "Going Home" Lite) and mentioned because it was a rear area it wasn't like we were in the "Fulda Gap" or anything... the GM (who was in the US Army) didn't know what that meant. Tony |

Possibly they sent him all around so he'd be out of the hair of the other Marines who were doing real stuff? At any rate the GM was my friend Eric "BigeHauser", who is a good guy and usually sharp as a tack (for a young whipper-snapper). I guess he was just having an off-day. Tony |
