    -95 was just like a decade ago, right?

      As far as I’m concerned, it’s been 1998 or so for years now.

        Yeah the thing they don’t really inform us of as kids is that while you may live for several decades after “starting your life” (ie finishing schools, going to work), but that it weirdly feels shorter than the few odd years in school.

          Having a kid really sped things up for me. It felt like just yesterday she was the little baby that I could hold in the crook of my arm and now she’s 14.

            Looking forward to that, unless I missed it already.

            Luckily we men have a tad larger window, but I always imagined being with someone pretty much exactly my age, but that’s not like a criteria or anything. Just aways had that thought.

            If I want that I should really hurry up some. My own father didn’t really the ability to play with us and I’d like to be able to physically play with my kids.

            Oh completely unrelated rant, sorry, I’m just jealous.

            The last decade feels like it has gone by faster for me than some years in school. And nothing much to show for it, except a decade of aging on my face.

              I had the rare good luck of finding someone early and being with her, but waiting until our 30s to have a kid.

                Yeah. I’m happy for you, friend.

                My luck is pretty much the same as Donald Duck’s.

                Eh, perhaps some day. Never say never and all that.

                  Yeah, I would definitely never say never. I have a friend who is an awesome guy. Really likable and good looking. Not an enemy in the world. He could never stay in a relationship. He just got married last year at age 45.

                    That does instill some hope in me. Thank you for the reassurance.

        True story: Just the other day, I saw kids dancing to “I put my hand upon your hip, when I dip, you dip, we dip”. That took me back 😅
