I'm 45. In college with 20 year olds. They are good kids. It's like hanging out with my niece, who just turned 20. It's the other 40-something student who is annoying as hell. He doesn't shut up thru out the entire class.
Also, kidney stones are a bitch. Worst pain of my life. Never had kids, but people say it's not as bad as kidney stones.

Just wanna say that it's so cool to see that a few of you guys are mature age students. I'd like to pursue higher education one day, but I'm not ready for it yet with the way my life currently is. Back in my day we used our phones to call people. And that was all they did. And we had 6 or 7 channels. If you missed a show you had to wait till summer when it got repeated. In Australia we didn't get cable until 1995, only a year after I was born. During the times when my family didn't have cable, we had roughly 5 free to air TV channels and it was hell. Imagine telling people 20 to 30 years ago that you could watch almost anything you wanted, whenever you wanted without buying VHS/DVDs.

Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife. You had a shoebox? Luxury. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.'

I'm turning 39 tomorrow and I matched on a dating site with a 25 year-old. That made me feel old... and a little Jerry Lawler-ish.

Actually, I turned 39 today. Forgetting that it's your birthday is definitely a sign of getting old and past it, right?

Missed a couple of days of work last year because I threw my back out...reaching for a small stack of hand towels.

I think Gen X goes from the late '60's to like '81-'82? It gets a bit nebulous, especially as late Gen X and early Gen Y/Millennial overlaps. Millennials are people that came of age in the new millennium so 1982 is generally considered the starting point ending in like 1996. As someone born in '82, no it's not. Before "millennials" were a thing, we actually didn't have a generation. There was a whole article written on it and everything. People came up with different names for the people born '79-'83, because we didn't have one. My favorite was Generation Catalano. But yeah, no one can seem to decide where I land, and the closest thing I ever heard to making any kind of sense was Generation XY cusp. I decided I can choose whichever one I want to, so I did. The fact that everyone classifies this group of us as definitely one or the other is hilarious to me, because the sheer fact that no one is on the same page about this indicates what I've been saying since all this crap started: we don't have a generation.

I'm right in the millennial timeline age-wise but I don't relate to it at all. I feel like I'm more of a boomer. I've always been a "young people today!" sort of person, even when I was one of them.

Today I cleaned out my phone contacts for the new year.
This year I deleted seven people’s numbers because they had died in the last year. I only got rid of five because I don’t talk to them any more.
