I remember the first time I heard "Stairway to Heaven" on the "Classic" radio station. Sandwiched between "Afternoon Delight" and that Leo Sayers song - what was that called? Man, I'm getting old.

The sad thing is I remember the stupid Leo Sayer song, too: "When I need you." And Stairway to Heaven was already a classic when the Sayer song came out. Now I feel old.

Here's another for women - you choose the color to dye your hair based on how well it hides the gray, not how blonde it makes you look.

That's the one! That stuff was soooo good for $2. I used to drink two of those at one time.

What the hell was I thinking?!

"11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you."

I knew I was grown up when my mother shared her feelings about how sex changed as she aged Sad part is I now know how she felt at that time
