Yep, several of my relatives sported those when I was a kid.   And I still look at pre-lit trees as new-fangled.  I also wonder where Tinsel went.

One of my triggers is when I go to the GP complaining about something related to getting old and my doctor says" Well, these things happen as you get older...".    


...and yes, I know what that picture is, and we used to have one. The color wheel is still somewhere in the basement.

A pre 2000 Saturn 4 door with 4 pimply faced kids wearing flat billed hats and flashing gang signs at traffic and bopping in their seats listening to some horse shit rap music.

We upgraded to a tabletop fiber optic one years ago. (1990s?)

But we always buy a real tree too.

Every time I hear a new name for a "new" music genre.

There are 5 musical genres, mother fuckers.  Classical, rock, metal, blues/jazz (call it either call it both, call it 2 different things go fuck yourself, they're the same genre), and country.  If it doesn't fit in those 5, it's "other."  That's it.

The number seems to grow exponentially.  When really it's just a lot more "other."
Rap/Pop? Other
Choir hymn?  Other
Gregorian monks?  Other
Mongolian throat humming?  Other

I'm confused are we bitching about young whippersnappers or reminiscing about cool shit from our youth?

I fucking hate most new music.  Niki Minaj, FUN, Justin Beiber, Selena Gomez...This is me when that shit comes on the radio.


Reminiscing:  GI Joes and Micro Machines.  My poor parent's feet

I was getting my hearing checked a few years ago.





The girl working the counter was smoking hot, early 20's and very friendly/chatty with me.  I was like, "still got it, she digs me".







Then, when we got my results, she said (very loudly) something to the effect of:  "Oh, hey, you still hear pretty good for a man your age."



























She was just being friendly.







She did not dig me at all.

We had one. I was, and still am, allergic to cut trees. We have a realistic fake now but I want to drag out the aluminum for the Gkids.

Also allergic to those fucking scented pine cones all the stores have out. My kid gave us some two years ago, I handled them not knowing I was allergic and wound up in the ER in respiratory and cardiac failure. 3 days later and it's Epi-pen and benadryl on hand forever at Christmas time.

"Country" people wearing camo, when they haven't hunted a day in their life.
"Country" people driving zippy jap cars.
"Country" people having acting "country"

I have lived on a farm my whole life, hate country music, drive a beat up truck, wear my boots only when I have to. I hunt, I fish, I shoot. Don't dip. Don't wear camo. I am more country than 75% of the "country" people claim to be. This whole "country" fad just drives me up a damn wall.

I realized I was getting old when my countertop microwave broke last week...

Instead of just replacing it for $50, I am in the processing of updating my entire kitchen. Got my over the stove microwave done last weekend, and just installed a new stove/ oven tonight. Gotta finish my trim work, then paint the cabinets, then paint the walls, then maybe do new countertops. Must be getting old!

Most current "country" people picked up everything they do from television and pop culture.  When I was growing up hardly anyone wore or even owned camo.  Most guys wore jeans, overalls, or khakis when hunting.  You didn't see the brodozer trucks either.  People dressed up to go to town or church.  They kept their homes looking nice.  "White trash" was a grave insult, now it is synonymous with "redneck" and considered "cool".
