5. I hate it when children whine.

:rofl:

You're 43. This is your best decade. Stop

11. Love that reply.

And may I echo your sentiment's and California Peggy's. There is no moral worth to being born one year or another; you just show up on this Earth when you show up. End of story. We're all struggling against something.

6. I remember every one of those songs.

Some good stuff, some crap. I was going to say "just like today" but I don't know if there IS any good stuff on the top singles charts anymore.

7. Eight of them are on my iPod!

And I can't believe Riding Hood beat the Beatles. That's my favorite Beatles song!

are still popular today.
