The Totally Radical Thread for Crotchety Old Bitches

My hairline started receding several years ago. Does that make me old enough for this thread?

Yeah, yeah; I had one gray hair before I was able to post in it. Two now, right in the front. I'm going to develop a Sweeney Todd style streak, and that's not so bad.

My youngest brother is only 21 and his hair's already starting to thin.

I don't think I'd mind loosing my hair so much if the hairs around my new hairline weren't so thin and scraggly. It makes me look even weirder.

I've got a mysterious patch along my hairline where hair doesn't grow very well. It kind of makes me look like I've got half a widow's peak if I pull my hair back. This is why you'll never catch me with anything other than long bangs.

You people talked about hair so much in a crotchety old bitches thread that the ad server is talking about products to give your hair a youthful, thick, full look and a nice sheen.

My hair doesn't need to get any thicker, thank you.

I still have too high a ratio of angst to post in here.

Did anyone else learn morse code so that you never actually SAID the password to your club house?

I learned morse code when I learned some electrical engineering as a kid.

Long story.

I learned morse code as a kid 'cause my mom was a balloon pilot and she dragged me along.

I feel like I'm on the threshold of being a totally radical crotchety bitch. I'm only twenty but I have a burning hatred for teenagers after having to treat them like customers.

21, going 22 here. Already getting "back in my day" periods when looking at what my little brother is taught at school.

But on the whole idea of the topic, it's a recent trend that people legally adults are becoming increasingly childish. People don't want to grow up, as such. Being a responsible adult sucks, so people go on for years without starting to build a carreer and getting the customary spouse, 2,5 offspring, dog, car and mortage.

Being an irresponsible adult, however, is great fun.

My lawn. Those damn kids won't get off it. This displeases me.

Greatly.

An M1 Garand and an evil glare seems to work. I'm hoping an SMLE is as effective, as I'd prefer to buy British.

I find Tasers to be far more enjoyable. On many levels.

But with a gun you can also kill zombies.

Re: kids on the lawn, I didn't mind them until they dismembered the wood pile. They threw the logs into the creek creating a dam that threatened the nest of ducks upstream. I am very protective of Mr. and Mrs. Mallard they have nested there every year since we bought this house.

Re: Teaching. I work in the arts, but no matter the subject the students are all human beans. There are so many things they don't teach you in professor school. But if you are teaching an entry level class and it is mostly freshmen you have to teach your subject and how to get through college. No matter how smart they are, they are never prepared for all of the things college throws at them. And if they aren't that smart, watching them finally get it is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.

I am watching the BBC coverage of Ted Kennedy's death. The US channels just make me crazy.

A big name has died. All other news must stop.

This bugs me to know end. Lots of other people are dying, what about them?

They weren't big-name senators.

Yeah, that pisses me off. A celebrity makes a series of bad choices and ends up dead and it is a homicide. A random person makes the same set of bad choices with the same result and it is just too damn bad.

Most celebrities tend have a bigger impact on our lives though.

Agggghhh, just notified of meeting occuring in 1/2 hour on other side of town. Pitfalls of email, if he'd texted I would have showered.

Guys, do you remember when having ONE GIGABYTE of memory on your PC was a big deal? I recall someone bragging about it to me in 3rd grade.

Word to the wise: If you aren't 100% sure you like a person, DO NOT BUY A HOUSE WITH THEM!

Thank you.

Fortunately no. Heck, my first USB is about that big.

One gigabyte?

One megabyte. If you're talking RAM, that is.

I remember wondering how a smaller floppy held so much more info on it.
