Yeah, I'm close behind you, there. My daughter (who is almost 17) got her learner's permit in September. Should get her driver's license in March. I may have a heart attack in the passenger seat before we get to that point.

My son got his permit two years ago ... never bothered to go through with getting his license, mostly because the driver's ed class at his school was a massive clusterfuck.
I guess you can get a license at 18 without having taken a driver's ed class. So that's his plan now, since he'll be 18 in six months.
The other thing that makes me feel old is that my son will be 18 in six months.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

not gonna lie, I felt really fucking guilty about that when it got bombed about the time of the Tiger Woods TMZ thing and my comments helped fuel that fire.
(but y'all can't say I was wrong about the TMZization of internet sportsball blogging so take that haters)

I don't remember when I joined and there were months or years where my posting was very sporadic, but I'm pretty sure I first created an account to say that Lance Armstrong was definitely doping and that the American media was crazy to treat him with any less suspicion than Barry Bonds. That one aged a lot better than most of my uncommon opinions.

I'm fairly certain I still have that podcast...and all 20-ish of them, really. We were PMT before PMT.
August '05 for me, btw. Terrell Owens being mad about the Eagles not giving him money and dressing up in military camo made me join. Had been lurking for some time before because MemBengal invited me to drop by the Swamp with a thought or two at the end of his blogs on this archaic thing called a "Front Page."
The first thread I read was about Karrine Steffans' (nickname Superhead because she was good at sucking dick) book, Confessions of a Video Vixen. In it everyone was entertained by Chris Brown's reaction after getting blown by her: I'm Transforming!

I'm younger than you peeps, but my stepson is 20. That's just bananas to me. My wife is older than me by a fair bit, but still.

Shit, I think I first joined around '03, but could be off. I moved to Alabama in August of '03, and think I joined prior to that via Bill Cross pointing me to a Wink and the Gun article that linked to the swamp. Left in the second or third great rift. About when every thread turned in to the same crap and it just frankly got boring. Life was too busy and the world was too big to have to stress about that bullshit. But this place was social media before social media.

I thought I was March '03, but that couldn't be right if Bobby Fivesides joined then. You were an elder statesman around here long before I joined. Maybe I was March '06? When was Hood to Coast? I'd been around long enough before then to seriously consider joining you guys.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

In my head I remember Pentagonz and I joined the same day from that link that Grant Wahl shared. (Along with one or two other people still around.)
But that was literally like 15 damn years ago or some shit.
I think I plucked a gray chest hair. I plucked a gray nose hair a couple years back. Since I am not allowed to have facial hair, I may have grays there too. (It's a stout red and blonde and changes in the light, so the world is missing out on that.) I have yet to have any gray hair on my head though. Still waiting for that to happen.

Dude - call me when you see one near your dick. That was the end of all illusions for me.

Government has proclaimed May as "Jewish Heritage Month" in Canada.
Guy on the left is the M.P. (like a Representative) from my riding (district). He's just guaranteed himself re-election in this neighbourhood.
But the woman on the right is Linda Frum. David's sister and a member of our unelected and unimportant federal senate. She was in my year at McGill and was in a few of my Poli Sci courses. And I had a big crush on her. And she looks her age.
