Default I am 50 going on 21

Went out for a few beers and have the munchies. Grabbed a pack of this feta cheese (from NE OH) made with grass fed cows milk I picked up at the Kent farmer's market. My God is it fantastic.

Try Dr O'hiras probiotics for the candida and although a drug, Nystatin might help.

Saved1 Congrats! Being 50 "going on 21" ;-) You'll be able to appreciate this:
The majority of students in universities today were born in the late 80s........They are called youth.

They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena Cherry or Belinda Carlisle. (possibly not a bad thing of course....) For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.

AIDS has existed since they were born.

CD's have existed since they were born.

Michael Jackson has always been white.

To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.

They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from last year.

They can never imagine life before computers.

They'll never have pretended to be the A Team Red Hand Gang or the Famous Five.

They'll never have applied to be on Jim'll Fix It or Why Don't You.

They can't believe a black and white television ever existed.

And they will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile phone.

Now, let's check if we're getting old...
1. You understand what was written above and you smiled.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a night out.
3. Your friends are getting married/already married.
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing comfortably with computers.
5. When you see kids with mobile phones, you shake your head.
6. You remember watching Dirty Den in EastEnders the first time around.
7. You meet your friends from time to time, talking about the good old days, repeating again all the funny things you have experienced together.
8. You're starting to dance like your father/mother..............God forbid!!

I remember buying gas during a Milwaukee gas war for 22 cents/gallon!!! Filled up my VW for about half what a single gallon goes for now here in California.

you need a script for nystatin: Incredible shrinkingman I remember turntables, B/W TV, dial phone, TV going off the air at 1 am. I also remember drinking mad dog 20/20 and in the early 80s in college 5 bucks meant you went out, 10 bucks meant you crawled back. I remember in elementary school: a dime was a soda or a candy bar

Ha ha, funny post, I'm 30 and can relate to most of those comments, particularly pretending to be the famous five (pretty sure that shaped my whole attitude to life), red hand gang (is this a reference to the Just William series - love this) and the A team!

Yesterday was thinking about the toilets that were in my first school, Victorian style cisterns and horrible nonabsorbent greaseproof toilet paper. Myself and my boyf were laughing at the thought of how children would react these days to that kind of thing!

Greaseproof toilet paper, heck, that's no worse than pages from a Sears Roebuck catalogue which was standard bath room stationary.

How about recording cassette tapes?

I was born in 81 so I did recognize all of the things listed above - I grew up going watching the changes happen... what about the days when you called someone and they didn't answer, you knew they just weren't home? What about if you wanted to get directions, you ASKED? What about when you wanted to know about a product, you asked your friends and not consult with any user reviews online.

yeah no internet and no mobiles is probably the biggest change of all. I was a teenager just as it was changing like you. I remember only two of us in a massive group of friends having mobiles and everyone having to ensure that you had at one of those people in each separate group in order to meet up!

If you wanted to know something you had to go to the library and have only the limited resources there! now libraries seem to have even less books and are very noisy
