<p>blucroo,
When our S went off to college we asked him how he intended to pay for his very expensive private education. So he went to the Registrar’s office and filled out the form which automatically allows his grades to be sent to our house. ;)</p>
<p>My son and daughter also signed off so we can see their grades. We see midterm as well as end of semester.</p>
<p>We are waiting until after midterms to see if the information is volunteered. I am fairly confident that it will be, but if not, we will try momof3sons’ technique.</p>
<p>Didn’t you feel old when you and spouse were the oldest couple in the LaMaze class? Didn’t you feel old when the youngest couple could have been your HS classmates’ kids?</p>
<p>I deny being an *alter kaker<a href=“an%20old%20and%20complaining%20person,%20an%20old%20fart,%20an%20old%20s___”>/i</a> although I can get cranky. Being surrounded by 40,000 young people on a daily basis keeps you young.</p>
<p>My 12th-grade daughter is the one who feels old at the moment.</p>
<p>She plays in a community youth orchestra that includes some musicians who are only in 9th grade. The conductor handed out a new piece of music that had a dedication on it saying that it was written in memory of the people who died in the Columbine incident. She was stunned when one of the younger musicians asked “What’s Columbine?”</p>
<p>One generation’s news is the next generation’s history. But my daughter didn’t think a new generation would come up so fast.</p>
<p>TSDAD: OK by me; if you deny being an AK, then you can’t join the club.</p>
<p>I first felt old when I found an oldies station on the radio, and it was playing music I grew up listening too. Unfortunately, that happened at least a decade ago.</p>
<p>I decided to retire from by first job when I realized tht I was older than some of my colleagues’ parents.</p>
<p>I first felt old when I stopped in at an antique/classic auto show and found that it featured a lot of cars that my parents, relatives and friend’s parents drove when I was a kid. And that, too, was many years ago. Also when somebody called me “sir” on the street.</p>
<p>yeah and if I hear “ma’am” one more time…</p>
<p>I got an AARP application the other day. While I did feel a little old I was also stoked because now I can get some righteous disounts.</p>
<p>ebeeeee,</p>
<p>I agree about Ma’am being a killer, but I also hate Miss. I remember when Goldwater ran for president, when it was cool to smoke, POW bracelets, when a TV show being in color was special, playing LPs backwards for hidden messages, when McDonalds changed their number sold weekly, I’m not a Miss. There should be a greeting somewhere between I just started to shave my legs and I can’t bend over to shave my legs!</p>
<p>Im just waiting for when my daughter and I are mistaken for sisters 
like the old dishwashing soap commercials
However- that is liable to be a real mood killer for my daughter!</p>
<p>emeraldkity4, hilarious!</p>
<p>THAT commercial’s a real blast from the past, eh?</p>
<p>AARP apps are for young people–in their 50s.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ll be 50 on Sunday</p>
<p>I took great joy in delivering AARP applications to my wife as she approached 50 … some how having them arrive for me is not nearly as funny!</p>
