It was like I wrote it. I remember when I thought 30 was ancient. And yes, I expected Paul McCartney to fall hopelessly in love with me and want to marry me. I too am fascinated with FAX machines and what they can do. And lastly - I used to imagine George Washington coming to my time and what he would think. Riding in a car...using a telephone - he would have not known what to think!

I turned 30 in 2000 and that seems awfully long ago. But from where I sit today, 44 isn't so old!

I've even calculated how old the kids will be by then, and what if I have another one, then how old will that one be? Will I have more kids after 40? Then when I'm 50 the youngest kid will only be 10! AHH! I will have no personal life forever! I had my first kid at 24, so I can say I have never really "lived" my own life at all. Can you understand my concerns? :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516571233579403525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-52658623608627796812014-07-31T19:49:54.874-05:002014-07-31T19:49:54.874-05:00I think our founding fathers would be very surpris...I think our founding fathers would be very surprised by how things turned out here in more ways that one! I'm a year younger than you; I remember so much about the hype of Y2K, LOL, but what I don't remember is how fast the time has gone since then! Fourteen years, where did it go? <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-50383465580190440352014-07-31T16:15:13.642-05:002014-07-31T16:15:13.642-05:00I understand what you are saying about the FAX mac...I understand what you are saying about the FAX machine technology. That has always fascinated me also. When our daughter and family lived out of the country FAX-ing was the cheapest way of communicating. So even though I didn't understand how it worked, I was very thankful for it. :)Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916346102440260126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-1506550685967660402014-07-31T14:07:07.873-05:002014-07-31T14:07:07.873-05:00I think we were all surprised to be here with the ...I think we were all surprised to be here with the Y2K scare! <br /><br />Yeah, it makes me wonder, too, would our founding fathers be pleased with the way things are going in the country? I'm with you... I think not so much. <br />Now it's up to us as individuals and as families to protect the freedoms that are slipping away.
