Excuse me while I get a cane and rocking chair and bore people with stories of what life was like during the wars (Grenada and the first Gulf War). I suddenly feel old when the phrase "back when I was a kid" is used by someone in my generation.
Dude, we are old now. It sucks but at least we have more money (hopefully) then we did back then and we can now eat ice cream for breakfast, well I do.
