I am 40, and yes, the 80's seem just like yesterday. Although some of the groups are still putting out music, its not the same. I think we would have to still be in that time zone to appreciate...

Since buying an iPod, I have been reliving the best times of my life - I have collected 1500+ songs - its like walking around with my own person WLIR, minus the Speaker Kits commercials...

I'm liking my 30s quite a bit. I'm not an old, boring fart yet, but I'm old enough to be comfortable with myself and not give a rip what others think of me.

Yes birdmadgirl, that is one of the best things about the thirties. I am definitly a stronger person and I know exactly what I want out of life and how to get it!
