I am lucky in that my twelve year old does not view me as old (even though I am but only in body and not in spirit). When we went to Claire's to use a gift card she had she looked at earrings. Most of them had multiple pairs in one pack and I told her she needed more holes in her ears since she only has two,and I offered to pierce more for her. She didn't bite. One of the teenage girls looked at me and smiled. (her mother scowled. <BR/>I feel oldest at the gas station though, because I remember going with my father (neither of us wearing seatbelts) as a kid and the price of gas was thrirty nine cents a gallon. I told my daughter this but she was not fazed. <BR/>I believe age is mostly a state of mind (and good genes) You can not be old Hanid because then I would be too. I love you abfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-66843812838206361202007-03-03T04:55:00.000-05:002007-03-03T04:55:00.000-05:00Er, addendum to anyone wanting to read Dinah's boo...Er, addendum to anyone wanting to read Dinah's book: There are no Vulcans in drag in her book (at least the excerpt I read on Amazon, the dang thing hasn't come yet!). That I know of. But if you read the excerpt you know from whence my twisted imagination pulled that little gem and morphed it into the oh-so-luscious Mr. Spock (when he's NOT in women's clothing!), in women's clothing.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-87778946237608336902007-03-03T04:53:00.000-05:002007-03-03T04:53:00.000-05:00Oh, and Dinah?

The night of the day I had read the excerpt of your book on Amazon, I had a dream/nightmare with Mr. Spock from Star Trek, dressed in drag, in it. <BR/><BR/>He played rather prominently in the dream, although it wasn't all about him/<BR/><BR/>Anyway, when I woke up, I thought, "THANK you very much for that imagery, Dinah!" Lol.

I remember3/4 or more of all that stuff, too . . . eeeee.<BR/><BR/>I remember when the first personal computers used TAPE drives . . .<BR/><BR/>I remember when going out for fast food was a special thing (maybe cause we had a family of 6 kids lol) instead of just a common thing.<BR/><BR/>I remember watching Gilligan's Island they get rescued off the island and somehow end up back on it, specials, on regular tv, first run.<BR/><BR/>I remember REAL event tv, not what they tout nowadays - the annual Sound of Music, on TV, and how it marked my progression of being allowed to stay up a little later every year, by how much more I got to see (for years I had to go to bed right after/during the puppet show!).<BR/><BR/>Same thing for Wizard of Oz, except I got to see the whole thing as it was shorter.<BR/><BR/>Mary Poppins was also an annual TV Event, as was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.<BR/><BR/>I remember my dad making apple dumplings whenever the Apple Dumpling gang was on, and the eager anticipation of the hot, flakey crust enrobing a juicy, tart/sweet baked apple and the scent of cinnamon mingled in . . . . (dagnabbit my mouth is watering . . .)<BR/><BR/>Escape to and Return from Witch Mountain were also TV events we children looked forward to, although the latter was rarely on.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-69770944872351228382007-02-25T23:34:00.000-05:002007-02-25T23:34:00.000-05:00I'm 27 and remember most of that stuff too... even...I'm 27 and remember most of that stuff too... even though I might look too young to remember life without microwaves, remote controls, CDs, and personal computers.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes my friends get annoyed that I won't choose a different ring for my cell phone--one which I can hear over the noise of the bus, car, dishwasher, etc. But before we had home answering machines (the kind with tapes, even!) normal people didn't get all bent out of shape when they couldn't reach someone immediately.<BR/><BR/>I am totally a telephonic fuddy-duddy.<BR/><BR/>But Dinah?
