I get told that I'm a dinosaur.. by people the same age as I.
My best friend said I was a museum piece, a throwback to another time.
All because I said that I was taught to hold doors open for ladies, bow slightly, remove hat, pull out chairs for ladies, and on the first date you present her with a rose, a pearl necklace, or both.
The above earned me the moniker 'old man'.
*scratches head*

I dunno, I was only 20 when I got saddled with it...


Yes, They seem to love to move the boundary fence of GenX-ers.
Last I knew, 1975 marked the las year of Gen-X births.
(Unless they change that too!)
And I was born in 1975, so in a way I am part of the last gasp of GenX.

Yes, it is somewhat depressing as an explanation, I agree.
But it was GenX thatbrought a Young Republican wave as well.
(We're also much more cynical than the Boomers.. Libs hate cynics since they usually tend to not care about ideology as much as stark reality.)

That is SO romantic!!! Sounds like out of a movie. That is the world I want to live in - with gentlemen like you. Speaking of, I love movies but can only take a few modern ones. The actresses I used to like have all turned Commie. My favorite old movies are Hitchcock or anything around that time ... especially Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman - now they were classy people. The President and First Lady remind me of them.

The wanna-be king and ketchup are more like out of "Dumb and Dumber".

Who is this "they" and who gave "them" all the power anyway?

Hmmm.....1975, huh? Dawn was born in 1978. What does that make her?
