37. I still have a 1200baud pocket modem somewhere.

Are you even OLD enough to remember BBS????????? Either I'm really old (NO COMMENT), or your pic makes you look like you're 18 (I couldn't go younger than 18 because if you are, you shouldn't be vaping ;) )

I've been creeping around here for a bit over 4 years. So I'd have to be at least 22, but since I got my BS 14 years ago, and am not in fact Doogie Howser, yup old enough.

You pass ;)

You just described my .50 cent calculator lol

LOL

You know, we managed to put men on the Moon with computing power less than a 386... Now, we have iPhones, iPads, Androids, Smart TVs, Netflix, Hulu, XBox 4, and on and on and on, and what do we do with 'em? What stars have we really reached for? {sigh} Yes, I'm old enough to remember Neil Armstrong taking those first steps....

Sorry, post derailment.... Back to our regularly scheduled programming :)

One girl I knew said if I stood sideways and stuck my tongue out I would look like a zipper.


when I first enlisted in Uncle Sam's Misguided Children....I was 6' on the dot...and weighed a whooping 127 pounds. I had to prove I was physically able to handle boot camp and get a signed "weight waiver" from the doctors there.

That's either a pic I screenshot to send my sis as an idea for her cat, or the pic she sent me of him after he got his new outfit. Frank looks just like the first cat, same big, round, green eyes.

He looks just like our Tuxie, though her eyes are more towards gold. She's "Tuxie" because when this emaciated, bedraggled tuxedo kitten turned up, I started calling it "Tux" -- then my husband discovered that the kitten was a she, not a he, but the name was stuck, so "she" became "TuxIE". :D However she has a few very distinguishing features -- one hind paw is pure white, and so are her whiskers. :D

I was into Under the Dome the first season, but they're taking too much liberty with the story and dragging it on too long. That may just be my opinion, but I kind of lost interest.........Now True Blood, that's one I've never lost interest in and I'm going to be sad when the series ends next week for good..........

I think I'm more into the Dome this season than last; frankly I don't remember the book that well, so it's kind of new to me, which may be why I don't notice or care if they're departing radically from the book. But King is the Exec Producer, so it can't be going *too* far afield.

We kinda fell out of True Blood because of the season they took off; I figured they were done, and when our discounted rate on HBO expired, I just cancelled it. I figure we'll catch up on Netflix at some point, watch the whole thing start to finish.

We got Showtime earlier this year when they offered us a great deal on it, so we got to see the start of Penny Dreadful, which was such a wacky mix of so many genres and characters and storylines and pure gothic, I flat out loved it -- and I called it, on the wolfman, from about halfway thru -- they had everything BUT that, so I figured he must be that -- I also called it on his consumptive ladylove becoming the Bride of Frankenstein. :D I have to wonder if they realize that the Frankenstein tale was looooooooong before Victorian times. There was a truly amusing moment where the guy playing Dr Frankenstein quotes a poem by Shelley. :D
