I’ve never let the age thing get in my way… I’m as old as I am, no matter what that is, and if someone thinks it’s old, cool. If someone thinks it’s young, I’m ok with that too.
I’ve never really understood those that have a hard time accepting who/what (etc) they are… Be ok with yourself and disregard the static from the rest…

I also remember how many problems that caused.
Tarrakk Blackhand:
Documentaries from the '70’s? HA! HA! In my schools in the 1980’s, they were still showing science films from the 1950’s and 1960’s. Some in B&W…they also showed the sex ed movies that were filmed in the earily 1970’s with the silly wallpapers in the houses.
