Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Ooh, can I claim that?
I had a friend who used to tell me that I was easy to confuse, but it was only fun on days that ended in 'y'. It took me three hours to figure that one out. I was also extremely tired that night.

My dad turned 44 today. Now that there could very well be 18-, 19-year-old female board writers (with their missionaries, #precious), I might not have the youngest parent here. Anyone beat me?

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I finally got a mouse for my laptop, after having been stuck with my touchpad for a full week. I just spent about a minute zooming around and clicking through all the different tabs on my browser and a bunch of other random stuff just to experience the improved speed. I'm not exaggerating.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
My boyfriend's grandpa turned 84 the same day mine turned 68. My friend from my teenage years (who graduated from the same high school, same year as the boyfriend, actually; they're four years older than me) has a 68-year mom born the same year as my grandma.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I remember as a kid the first time I saw a case of a mother and daughter pregnant at the same time and the daughter was going to give birth first. I thought the concept of your uncle being younger than you was so strange. Of course now I'm aware that for every kind of familial permutation you can think of, it's probably happened somewhere.

My mom was 45 when my youngest sister was born. She was 28 when I was born. I think she's 52 now.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I find that if I have a really good mouse, I do have more control than I do with a trackpad. However, I also think it depends on the computer. For me, it's Mac trackpad > PC mouse > PC trackpad > Mac mouse. But that also reflects how often I've used each of them, and how recently.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
This makes me really curious, because aren't you somewhere in the neighborhood of 25? To some extent I can understand having a young mom, but a 19-year-old dad? What gives?Portia wrote:My dad turned 44 today.
Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I think this is something of a class thing*. I'm of a lower social class than probably most board writers and readers (BYU students in general). My mom had just turned 21 when I was born. My biological father was probably 22 or 23, because he had just graduated, so he'd be about 47 now. My (technically step-) father had just turned 21 when he married my mother, so yeah, 19 when I was born.Genuine Article wrote:This makes me really curious, because aren't you somewhere in the neighborhood of 25?

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
I just applied for a job working in a lab again. Seeing "aliquoting samples" brought me joy. Knowing what is was and how to use it (say, a centrifuge) brought me more. I think I could actually stick around SLC if it works out!
