Being well beyond middle age, all of the above applies to me. I still have a dial wall set in the barn and it works. Confuses my grandkids and others.
Middle Age
- Thread starter phulklip
- Start date
I'm 63 and I have a lot of trouble keeping up with my prescriptions. Keeping them filled on time and lately remembering where I put them after I pick them up.
I wish I was middle age, some of my kids have grand kids. My son is the "old man" at his job.
Dial phone, the first phone I used you picked up the ear piece turned the crank 2-3 times and asked if it was my cousin Elanor or her sister working then told her who I wanted to talk to.
I don't do fake book, you want to know what I'm doing call me.

I'm well past middle age but most of those are still valid
And #13, what IS a VSCO girl?
A VSCO girl is a Gen Z teenager who participates in a fashion trend and lifestyle that originated from the VSCO photo editing app:
Style
VSCO girls are known for their beach-inspired style, which includes oversized T-shirts, scrunchies, Hydro Flasks, Crocs, and Birkenstocks. They also use products like metal straws, Carmex lip balm, and instant cameras.
Behavior
VSCO girls are often described as seeking attention online, and are known for saying "sksksk" and "I oop".
Origin
The term "VSCO girl" started as a joke on TikTok, but eventually became a fashion statement. The trend is reminiscent of preppy girls and Valley girls, and is popular with tech-savvy Gen Zers.
Name
The term comes from the VSCO photo editing app, which uses pre-made filters and settings to make photos look cool and vintage. VSCO stands for Visual Supply Company.

Some say that the VSCO girl trend is conformist, and that the style is so recognizable that other teens make fun of it.

Age 40 to 60 was a great time. Old age sucks.
When I encounter a young person who is trying to discredit my age or my "wisdom", and depending on my mood - sometimes I'm crotchety – I have a standard response: With an emphatic tone I say….
"I grew up in a poor family. I remember living in an Army tent and being cold and hungry. Fast forward 30 years…. when you still had baby powder in the crack of your butt I was making a high 5-figure income, driving a $50,000 Mercedes, living in $500,000 condo in Newport Beach. Ohh yeah… I have 5-years of college and Mensa I.Q. What you know about what you think you know wouldn't make a pimple on an elephant's butt.
That is a true event that happened about 25 years ago.

I harken back to my late dad's saying: If the older generation didn't pass along its knowledge to the younger generation, we'd still be living in caves." Now I find I'M saying it.
10/15, I am a dinosaur at 77, but a well armed dinosaur.
I wish I were able to come up with something that good in the heat of the moment.
I read where a youngster was poo-poo-ing an older guy about how the older generation didn't understand modern technology.
The old curmudgeon came back with...
And who do you think came up with and built all that technology?
Just wait until y'all get old
Middle age is no longer in my memory bank or where ever it's kept.

When we have "Get to Know you events" at Church, I mention that we have been attending this church 45 years. The young ones are impressed. I tell them, don't be impressed! My F-I-L has been attending his Church for 86 years come March! It kind of runs in the family.
