There is not much that can make me feel like I'm past my expiration date,

[Croney]

but today after getting a nice haircut at a salon I declared, "I look like Gloria Steinem!" Nobody in the place knew who that was. 😳

1. Welcome to the world of alte hexes and alte kakers. My cut made me look like George Sanders.

3. Haha!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Nope, not past. Everybody in the place is half-baked, wet behind the ears, "influenced" into cluelessness. . . nt

[Croney]

4. I guess so!

5. Literary references, too!

We have two rabbits in the shelter who are currently housed in the conference room. Last week I went in for a meeting of the animal care team and on seeing them for the first time, I looked at the black one and said, "Oh, it's the Black Rabbit of Fu-Inlê!" Blank looks all around the room.

6. I wasn't familiar with that one myself!

Had to Google, and I see it's a Watership Down reference. I never read that book, for some reason. Oh wait, I see it was published in 1972. I was in college at the time, going to school full time and working part time, and I just didn't have much time for recreational reading during those years. Maybe I will take a look at it one of these days.

7. Oh yeah, Gloria Steinem. That's Anderson Cooper's mother right?

Kidding.

I'm old.

[mountain grammy]

8. No, no, no,

Gloria, wait for it I'm thinking.. Vanderbilt I think

[Jilly_in_VA]

9. Yep, that's her

Vanderbilt.

10. I once got talked into getting these ugly red-rimmed glasses at the optometrist's office.

I wore them to work and one of the young attorneys (late 20s) made a remark about them and I said "I look like Sally Jessy Raphael." She had no clue who SJR was.

Ha! I ended up working for that attorney a couple of years later.
