<p>Even though I have a kid going off to college in the fall, in 1975, I was only 6 years old. That’s what happens when you’re a teenage mom.</p>

42

<p>Holy cow, irishmom! I graduated college in '75!!</p>

43

<p>1975: Dating the cute bartender (drinking age 18…)
2006: Refusing to pay for course for son to become a cute bartender…at 18.</p>

44

<p>1975: Standing in line for Rolling Stones tickets
2006: Going online for Rolling Stones tickets</p>

45

<p>1975: graduating high school, figuring college was a breeze!
2007: figuring how the hell the kid found a major more selective than med school…</p>

<p>On seeing drummer-looking guy:</p>

<p>1986: Get my number.
2006: Get a haircut.</p>

<p>What else the class of 2011 has never seen: rotary dial phones.</p>

<p>I’m college aged, but I can identify more with the older folk’s 2006 sentiments than the 1975 ones.</p>

<p>I graduated college in 1973 and was just speaking to one of my son’s friends who just graduated last weekend. He was telling me of a trip he is taking to SE Asia and was especially looking forward to seeing Vietnam. I told him how interesting…when I was graduating college I was doing everything possible to not visit Vietnam.</p>

2007: one piece with long skirt - and a coverup…and a large hat</p>

<p>I’m class of '11, and we owned a rotary dial phone when I was younger. I suppose India’s way behind the US in technology, though. Rotary dial phones are so much fun.</p>

<p>“Location: Why, do you want to stalk me?”</p>

<p>If you are worth stalking then why not? ;)</p>
