Did you know that 1990 was 20 years ago?

[Swede]

And that 1980 was thirty? I gotta start paying attention.

[MrCoffee]

1. Wow, it's later than I thought it was.

[Bucky]

2. What's weird is that when I was a kid in the 70s, the 1960s seemed ages ago.

But today our social dialog is still frame referenced by the 1960s. We have a hard core group of Beatles fans at the school I teach at--some of these are kids whose parents were born after the Beatles broke up. I can't think of any generation of Americans who had a longer lasting impact on how their descendants saw their world.

3. yep

That's the year I met my wife. We've been living together for almost 20 years, married 18. Man, that seems like a long time now.

4. Wow, I just realized how OLD I am!!!

Gosh, the 90's seem like yesterday!

[Bertha Venation]

5. Yup. Harder for me to believe: I'll be 50 in '13

Jesus.

[MorningGlow]

6. Well that just ruined my day

:rofl:

Let's just say 1990 was when I completed my master's degree.

One of my favorite famous guys (see sig) says that he's always surprised when he looks in the mirror and sees some old guy looking back at him. I feel the same way. ;)

7. I was born in 1986. I'm feeling OLD!

:rofl:

[TZ]

16. Ugh.

I graduated HIGH SCHOOL in 1987! GET OFF MY LAWN YOU WHIPPERSNAPPER!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. Whippersnapper!

[The Doctor.]

8. I hate you.

I remember 1990 like it was a few years ago.

13. Me, too.

That's because 2001-2008 was such a bloody nightmare, my brain blacked out those years. It's like having repressed memories.

[canoeist52]

9. Jeesh! Why didn't somebody wake me? Must 'a hit the snooze.

Is that bacon I smell frying??

[MissMillie]

10. NPR did a great story this week about the "phenomenon" of time seeming to go faster as you age

[raccoon]

18. Whaddya mean, SEEMS TO, it really does! nt

[MissMillie]

20. I wouldn't know

I don't age.

I'm timeless.

[DarkTirade]

11. No it wasn't.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

12. 1990-1991 were two of the best years of my life

They do seem so distant now

[wysimdnwyg]

14. ugh

fuck I'm old...

[old mark]

15. Wait, it's only 1989 now.......

isn't it?










mark

[canoeist52]

19. It must be.

'Cause that's the date I keep wanting to write on my checks.

[old mark]

21. I think I am seriously late for work.........nt

[barb162]

17. Yeah, time flies, huh?

It doesn't seem possible that 1990 was 20 yrs ago.

[baldguy]

22. 1999 was 35 yrs ago.

[LeftishBrit]

23. Scary, shows how old I'm getting!

Plus the fact that from a British political point of view, 1990 is the year that Maggie was kicked out - and it's a shock to realize that 20 years on so LITTLE has been done to reverse the harm that she did.

[trof]

25. Meh. FDR was prez when I was born.
