I don't mean to make you feel old but my mother was born in 43 and my aunt was born in 46....
that was a VERY good decade.
My Mom was born in '44, my Dad in '42.
I, of course, was born in '69. An incredibly groovy year.
Well, I guess I AM getting old but that is the natural progression of things and there is no reason to be sad. I'm just happy to be alive and hope to maintain that state for a while to come.
'69, eh? No comment.
Could it be ... YOU'RE ARNOLD???
Vat vould make you tink dat?
