Ants Over 35 Thread

[OklahomaMama]

reminisce about mood rings, pet rocks, toe socks...
discuss our various aches and pains, invasive undignified medical procedures....
whatever floats your boat!

anyone interested?

:evil ;) :p :lol

edit: i feel the need to type actual words because a post made entirely of smilies looked weird to me. now i feel better.

[Dads_obsessed]

Would I scare you away if I told you I was a senior in High School when you were born? :p :lol

[UJCdream]

the oldest guy i've been in a relationship with was 12 years older than me... so... i guess not. :lol

[Dave G]

Old bastard checking in

[WineSnob]

I guess I am an "in between" ant. I am 31... But like you said, I don't FEEL 31. As for sexual peak at 35, I think I am scared now. You mean it gets worse than this???? :ugh:

[OklahomaMama]

i should amend this to include folks over 31 ;) april, you're more than welcome here.... and by "it gets worse than this"... does that mean you're jumping kenny too much as it is? :lol

welcome dave, you old bastahd! :p

[dancergirl40ky]

i've always thought it profoundly unfair that women hit their sexual peak at 35

I don't have a problem with it :evil

I guess I am an "in between" ant. I am 31... But like you said, I don't FEEL 31. As for sexual peak at 35, I think I am scared now. You mean it gets worse than this???? :ugh:

I wouldn't call it worse :p I call it better.

[OklahomaMama]

how are you this fine morning, sweetie?

[dancergirl40ky]

Doing just fine, had a fun night out last night, and have my house completely to myself this morning. Life is good.

[eelall]

I guess all the old folks went to bed ;) :p

:monkey

Yep :p

and yea to Crumbo for being at least as "old" as I am :ggoat

[vhinds]

I'm over 35-hi!

[u4ea]

OK, I'll bite! Gotta put my false teeth in first though:D !

Hi - I'm Karen and I'm gasp....38!! *shakes hands* Nice to meet all you other "older folk"! I actually feel like I'm about 17 most of the time though.

[vhinds]

I'm 37 but I am about 17 in my mind and behavior, always, as well!

[Dancingclancy]

Hi there -- 38 years young here. Wasn't high school just a few years ago? :)

[u4ea]

Just because we are over 35 doesn't mean we always have to act like it. For example, I just ate two pieces of apple pie for lunch, just because I felt like it.

Do you think that the opposite is true? Are there 17 year olds out there who feel 35? I doubt it. If you're out there, reveal yourselves. :p

Now feeling sick. Why didn't somebody more mature stop me?

And yes, it feels as though high school ended about four months ago. Ah...memories, memories: flock of seagulls, boy george, horse drawn wagons, ....;)

[OklahomaMama]

hey, this is great :)
i just KNEW there were a few more "grownups" out there :thumbsup

it seems the general concensus is that

a) we don't FEEL old, therefore we are NOT old (yaaay)
b) where the hell did the past 20-25 years go? :freak



TOPIC: how do we feel about the songs we danced to at prom being used in commercials? or worse, the "OLDIES" radio station?

discuss, ya'll

[OklahomaMama]

lest we forget how far we've come :lol

i'm the dorky looking chick (top row, right side... Brenda Schardine)

[whyibesowhite]

i'm not 35, but i drove in a 35 mph speed zone on the way to work... HEEEYO!! zing! ... ... yeah, i have nothing. sorry guys.

[u4ea]

Hey,

That looks just like my yearbook! What grade was that? I forgot about those hairstyles. One girl in my class curled the front of her hair back so that it looked like two sausage rolls hanging down by the side of her face. I tried, but I could never get it to work on my hair. I was so jealous. :lol

[dancergirl40ky]

^^You often make me laugh :)

[OklahomaMama]

we are sexy
we are free
we're the class of 83!
:bounce


gawd, it's just WRONG that i remember that :lol

i just dropped my son off at a freshman orientation camp at the University of Oklahoma

[u4ea]

^^You often make me laugh :)
But are you laughing at me or with me???:monkey

As I read through this list, I realized I knew nearly every single one of these songs (as in, I could sing them to you right now!:eek: ). How pathetic is that?

Emergency. Will now listen to DMB to wipe out Lionel Ritchie loop running in my head. Ahhh.... that's better.

[OklahomaMama]

TOPIC:

kid's cereal....

remember when the only time you ever SAW a cereal commercial was during saturday morning cartoons?

remember when the word SUGAR was boldly emblazoned on all the boxes of "good" cereal? now kellogg's is proud of HALF the sugar :freak what the hell?
we thrived on that weekend sugar buzz, eh?

remember when cereal boxes had prizes in them? good prizes too! like that little boat that ran on baking soda and your mom would slap you for messing up the entire kitchen?

remember (if you were poor) you got that huge bag of non-sugar coated fakeass sugar crisps? they tasted like little styrofoam puffs and stuck to the insides of your mouth. i damn near choked to death when i was 9 on that crap

remember those bitchin license plates in honeycombs? except they only put like ONE freakin' state in there so you had no chance in hell of "collecting all 50!" bastards

[Dads_obsessed]

wooo hooo....Dads here,

Got my Styx albums, Got my Angel Flight pants on, got my pouka shells on, (yes, we were wearing them way before you youngsters) I'm ready to parrrrrrrrrrrrrty......

wait a minute,,,, I think I just pulled something....nevermind....:lol

[OklahomaMama]

oh no!!!! poor tim :(

but do you have your Members Only jacket and a splash of Polo???
:D

[OklahomaMama]

and deck shoes... don't forget them!

[u4ea]

bye u4ea....
damn! i get it "euphoria" right?



did you see the little light bulb go on over my head just now? :rolleyes:
yay brenda,
You got it! I even see the lightbulb *puts on sunglasses*:cool:

About your cereal question: sadly my mother didn't let us eat sugar cereal when we were kids. We were allowed to have oatmeal, cream of wheat, shreddies or shredded wheat. I was scarred by being the only kid in my grade 4 class who had whole wheat bread in my lunch. And since I grew up in Canada, we didn't have cereal with USA license plates in them. or canadian plates for that matter. I feel deprived.:(

[OklahomaMama]

aw, that sucks! you should go out right now and buy something that will rot your teeth and mind... just because you're a grown up and you CAN!


the "good" cereal was rather infrequent in my house :( if there was some, my foster mom's "real" kid got it and my sister and i ate the generic crap. *ick*
my foster mom always had those HUGE chunks of shredded wheat that came in those white papery bags... i remember thinking they looked like Kotex pads
:lol

now if i try to eat Cap'n Crunch the shit's so sweet it hurts my teeth :p

[OklahomaMama]

yay brenda,

and thanks a lot... now i've got another moldy oldie song stuck in my head

"I wear my sunglasses at night...."
:lol

[u4ea]

I think I'm making up for it now. See earlier post about eating two pieces of apple pie for lunch. Then I raided the goody bag that my daughter got from a birthday party. I guess the moral of the story is that if you don't let your kids eat lots of junk they'll become sugar addicts as adults! And now I'm washing it all down with a nice adult beverage!

[Dads_obsessed]

oh no!!!! poor tim :(

but do you have your Members Only jacket and a splash of Polo???
:D
yep!!....and I also got my V-neck valuer (sp?) shirt, my mullet hair-cut, and my brand new am-fm cassette player for my '66 Chevelle

[Dave G]

yep!!....and I also got my V-neck valuer (sp?) shirt, my mullet hair-cut, and my brand new am-fm cassette player for my '66 Chevelle

My first car was an 66 Lemans convertable with an 8 track and one of those convertors that uses the AM radio to play FM

It was a piece of shit but it sure looked nice

[OklahomaMama]

remember when KISS meant Knights In Satan's Service?

and AC/DC was going to send us all to hell for songs like "she's got the jack" & "highway to hell"?


Billy Squier's STROKE ME STROKE ME damn near gave my ma a stroke :lol

so tame compared to today, huh? :rolleyes:

[Dads_obsessed]

"if he ever hurts you, true love won't desert you.....
they we touched and went our separate waaaaaays.....

i still love you girl..."




good lord, what brought THAT on???? :lol
Awesome song!!! Senior year that song was the best!!! I'm getting chills just thinking about it.


Hey Mama, gotta run, Hill Street Blues is on, be back later!!!

[OklahomaMama]

Oh man,

I wanna know why they don't play Love Boat and Fantasy Island reruns! The plane! The plane! And I can still hum the theme from Dallas.
my entire pre-adolescent life was spent in front of those shows! Dallas was on friday night as i recall, and the other two were on saturday... then we'd wait til my foster mom crashed out and snuck back in to watch SNL... the GOOD one, with rosanne rosanna danna, samurai warrior, killer bees, coneheads, doug & wendy whiner....

http://www.angelfire.com/id/avy/1fwd002.html

[OklahomaMama]

awesome! :thumbsup

this deserves to be out in the open :lol

Are you a 70's child?
You're probably aged 25-35 if...

You wore anything Izod, especially those wind-breakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist.
You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool.
In your sophomore class picture, you're wearing a shirt with the collar "up".
You know, by heart, the words to Weird Al Yankovic's songs.
The Brady Bunch Movie brings back warm memories.
You remember the days when "safe sex" meant "my parents are going out of town".
You thought "Weird Science" was a masterpiece.
You remember any of the following: Echo and the Bunnymen, Cutting Crew, Scritti Politti, or Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark.
Your first musical purchase was an 8-track tape.
Chevy Chase was really funny in those vacation movies.
You remember "Friday Night Videos" before the days of MTV.
A predominant colour in your childhood photos is "plaid".
While in high school, you and all your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play "1999" by Prince over and over again.
You remember that music that was labeled "alternative" really was.
You took family trips BEFORE the invention of the mini-van and remember riding in the back of the station wagon trying to get passing trucks to honk at you.
You often catch yourself saying "When I was your age", "Youth is wasted on the young", "I used to be able to do that", or "What is that thing called again?".
You can recite the Preamble to the Constitution, but only to the tune of Schoolhouse Rock.
You ever dressed like a cast member of a Duran Duran, Madonna, Rick Springfield, or Cyndi Lauper video.
You actually know who Rick Springfield is.
You know the origin of the phrase "Where's the beef?".
You remember when film critics were certain that no movie could ever possibly get better special effects than those in the movie TRON.
You wanted to move to Hawaii because that's where Magnum lived.
If male: your first love was Marsha Brady, Jeannine, Samantha from Bewitched, Josie or any one of the Pussycat.
If female: you thought that Shawn Cassidy was "dreamy", lusted after "Ted, your ship's photographer" on the Love Boat or Chachi.
You don't even want to remember the hairstyles you had in the 80's.
You've shopped at a Banana Republic or Benetton, but not in the last five years, OK?
You actually remember Benetton.
You're starting to believe that having the kids go to school all year wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.
You ever asked to be gagged with a spoon.
You remember when there was only "G", "PG", and "R".
