I agree! In fact, it makes me laugh when they think three years ago is old. (Not making fun of them but genuinely amused.) I was amused when someone asked me what a phonograph record is. I remember phonograph records like it was yesterday. Prefer CDs though. Records get scratched and cassettes get twisted up.

You know, they say that if you stopped going out as much as you used to or you avoid going out even if you make plans to do it, then you're categorized as being depressed. That's the problem in the first place! "Experts" and media have been so wrong, so many times, about so many things, that they claim to be right about. They really do ruin people's lives.

Grandma was the actress that played "June Cleaver" on the 50's show Leave it to Beaver. Her iconic character there was the most feminine, pearls-wearing, housewife Mom there ever was on a show with a typical 1950's all white cast. Her speaking jive to the cool dudes on the plane in Airplane made that gag extra hilariously funny. There were layers to the joke.

Nice touch to have the teen experts critique your performance! Love it.

I’ve been an empty nester for 14 years now and I really miss the company, the conversation and the slang of younger people. I could probably volunteer somewhere but being an introvert and ADHD positive makes it slow-going. In the meantime I’m going to watch more of your videos.
