My Space For Old People

Yeah, I can see the humour in that…doesn’t it seem they get younger every year?

I’m thankful for My Space for OLD PEOPLE, too! I don’t do My Space either so I’m with you in not knowing much about it, but this site gives us old folks an opportunity to hang out together!

A few years back (before DVDs), my husband was showing our grandkids a filmstrip that a church had given us since they felt it was too outdated for them to use and they knew we work with kids in a volunteer afterschool Bible club. Our grandson asked, “Grandpa, were those the videos of your day?” So we can appreciate the humor of your situation today.

We OLD PEOPLE do need to hang out together!!

MAtt,

Aren’t high school kids the greatest!!! I never tire of their sense of humor and the way they look at things with “new eyes”. And, for you to be able to laugh along with them is fantastic!

I totally get the image and it’s hilarious. Great moment and good for you to share it with the rest of us old farts. I never understood the fascination that youngsters have (had?) for Myspace and such sites though.

Kids these days… ;o) seem to forget that, while they have never known a world without the internet and cellphones, it is our generation and the one before us who have invented all those technologies. Duh!

On the other hand, isn’t it sad that woodworking seems to suffer the attached stigma of being a “gramps-activity”? Is it really the future in the hands of IKEA? I hope not… or, at least, I hope I won’t see it happen.

You should have shown them some of teenagewoodworker’s stuff or Woodshopfreak to try to dispel that octogenarian bent

After I suggested my shop students use the LJ site for project research, and I again reminded them a day or two later. Someone asked, “what is this again?” and another student referred to it as “my space for woodworkers”. So basically that is the general comparison of this site. Great job on creating it. I would take it as a compliment. My kids are from St Louis, good old midwestern city boys.

When I was your age, I had to walk 5 miles barefooted, in the snow, uphill both ways, to get to my space.

The kids I know that age are shocked that an old duff like me can even get around on the computer…..

Gotta love’em. They’re gonna be in charge sooner then later…
Thanks for sharing a good moment.

I have a myspace page as well too keep up with friends from college and work, and I swear I dont use myspace nearly as much as I use lumberjocks hehe (even though I wish I used it more than I do!)
That being said, I havent seen any half-naked lumberjock profile pictures yet… and I’m so glad for that LOL!

That was funny Matt.

Why don’t you ask the kids if they know what carbon paper is.

I’ll bet you stump them.

that was a hilarious story and it made me laugh out loud (that would be LOL).

when I was in college ( in my past-college years) a “youngun” cried because she was turning 20.
I told the story to my husband and my kids in the backseat of the car, (they were 5 & & at the time), they started laughing along with us at the story.
Then, my son says, “that’s funny. You aren’t old until you are 30!”
My husband and I , who were 30 at the time, stopped laughing.

But last year, when my son turned 30 – oh well… the last laugh is the best laugh! Next year it’s my daughter’s turn.
