Yet another "How old are you?" thread

[trappedslider]

My twin brother and I were expected to be born in October. We decided that we could not wait another month.

The doctor offered to help my mom evict me a month earlier, I was slated for December. Mom said yes and then named me after the doctor

There were some folks here in the United States who had satellite dishes starting in the 70s and became increasingly popular in the 1980s. Unlike the smaller dishes we're used to these days, these were monstrous dishes that took up a lot of room in someone's yard. A lot of people were able to pick up premium channels like HBO without having to pay fees as well as other broadcasts from far, far away. It didn't take HBO long to scramble their signal and rent out descramblers for those who want to watch. I don't think any of my friends had satellite when I was a kid and they weren't the norm in any neighborhood I lived in. They were always an unusual sight.

We rented a house in the early 2000s that had an old satellite dish in the yard (not pictured here).

I remember those being more rare than folks with laser disc.

Depends on the area. There's a small town that's northwest of Toronto, that before suburbia grew to engulf it, was where the Richie-Rich folks had their homes. Seemed like every other house had a huge dish.

I just turned 45 yesterday (today for the rest of y’all not living in the future), so I’m am one of the eldest of elder millennials, along with the likes of Chris Evans, Julia Stiles, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christiansen, and plenty of others!

I’m old enough to remember when we were still called Gen Y.

(In fact Julia Stiles and I share the same birthday exactly.)
