In 1999, I was fourteen years old and living on Base at RCAF Comox and I remember all the fuss going on regarding aircrafts and radar systems. And everyone holding their breath when the clocks rolled over to year 2000.

Which means you were a year old when I got married.

And you were married 5 years after I retired from the military and started drawing my pension and 4 years after I got married the second time.

YOU GET OFF MY LAWN!

EDIT: And perhaps somebody will be along shortly who will top my age and then I will have to get off his or her lawn.

I resemble that remark! At least when I first wake up.

May I at least mow your lawn? Not for no freaking quarter, either. And I do not take Apple pay.

You drive a hard bargain! OK, I'll go fifty cents. But you'll have to wait to mow -- it's pretty much all ice at present.

Just have The Unc shovel it first, then mow. You might have to up his pay to an even dollar, though.

This is a little too recent for this thread, but it was hysteria for sure. Crazy time, not just for consumers but for companies. My company had nonstop consulting project for 2 years related to Y2K.

It's been the opposite for me. Kids have never really annoyed me too much. Being a grandparent of 6 great kids doesn't hurt. They keep me young.

Sounds like fun. Sadly, none for me. Daughter doesn’t want kids and my son is a confirmed bachelor.

They are fun. When I say they keep me young, I'm not kidding. Years ago after a car accident I quit snow skiing. Then my grand kids were getting old enough to start skiing and my son said, "Dad, you should start skiing again so you can ski with your grand kids". I went down and bought new equipment and got a season pass. That was 8 years ago and I've been skiing about 20 days per season ever since. The grand kids are pressing me now and I think this year they will be beating me down the hill. They love taking me on runs like "Ditch of Doom" and "Trench of Terror" so they can watch this old geezer try to navigate these windy, steep snow-covered creeks with his long skiis. I love it when they laugh at me!

I appreciate you looking out for me, but I'm old enough to negotiate my own contracts now

Llarry what exactly is it that I would be "shoveling" before mowing the grass?? It seems early in the year to be putting manure onto grass for the Spring green.
