Blackhorse Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 at 36 I'm finding myself getting up earlier and going to bed later. Anyone else experiencing this? I only wish I had experienced this phenomenon during college or during one of those crazy excursions up to Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundminen Posted December 20, 2000 Author Share Posted December 20, 2000 Jeez, who dug up this old thread while I was away? Yeah, ok, I'm sorry I used the rather crass "old fart" phrase.

Victor Semensi Posted December 20, 2000 Share Posted December 20, 2000 For grogdog and any other old time computer gamers out there these are the 2 sites I use to get old C64 and Apple IIe games and emulators: ftp://arnold.c64.org/pub/ ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/ You can also do a search using Dogpile.com or another simlar search engine using 'C64 emulator' or 'apple IIe emulator' as your search criterion. Happy gaming Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawyer Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 At 53, I have officially joined the Rommel Club, since he reached that age before self-expiring. BTW, I ain't opening the door if I see a German staff car pull up in front of my house. On the bright side, I can never die young. And all the younger folks out there can only hope to be where I am now someday. As my uncle used to say, "The only people older than me are dead." Geezertruppen. YES!! ------------------ Only the Lawyer knows what Evil lurks in the minds of men.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elysian Posted December 21, 2000 Share Posted December 21, 2000 Lol -- "shuffleboard commandos" is my favorite... Just thought I'd add my lurker-self to this list, 27. BTW -- I hear you 20's guys when you talk about feeling outta the loop. Hopefully I'll follow in some of your wise footsteps and have my fear/anxiety of aging dealt with by my 30's and just enjoy my kid self! (Love CM by the way, I used to fantasize about a game like this when playing text-based games on an HP 125 back in 1980) Elysian P.S. To whoever mentioned Jane's Addiction, I hear ya!

Guest Michael emrys Posted December 24, 2000 Share Posted December 24, 2000 57 two days after last Thanksgiving. I didn't feel out of the loop until I hit 34, then the ground fell away beneath me and I came to in Seaside, Oregon. Don't ask. Happily I'm somewhere else now.
