Oh, can I play? When LJ was born I was a 38-year-old Navy Lieutenant stationed in Hawaii, married with a nine-year old daughter, about to transfer to the Washington D.C. area. I already had fifteen years in the Navy and had transitioned from being a Navy Chief to an officer three years earlier.
I'm sure LJ was an adorable infant and just look what's happened to her: Almost 60,000+ appreciates on Bimmerpost. It doesn't get any better than that!

When LJ was born, my oldest turned 3 and my wife and I had been married 8 years and I was 2 1/2 years into my career. We'll celebrate our 46th in a few months.

My 1st job outside the home was selling the evening newspaper on a street corner downtown. I was 10 years old. I retired 11+ years ago at age 64. I was never without out a job during those 54 years.

I was trying to keep it clean. It is really underwear that I have that are older than you. Duct tape is probably not the answer!
LJ, you are wiser than your years but you are nevertheless way far away from our lawn. Get your coat and scoot away little one. |

I was kidding of course. It's funny how we can feel old at any age. It's only when you get into your 60s, 70s, and beyond that you really understand how young we were when we thought we felt old at 38. Personally, I am fine with my age and don't regret that I'm not younger. I'm having the time of my life right now. Please hang around this thread and you will realize even more just how young and vibrant you really are! |

Okay, I certainly don’t want to derail this old fart thread, but I have to ask. Oxford comma or no?
