I've had a few nights where that seemed to be the case.
Back in the mid 1960s when I was young I recall seeing a magazine cover. It was either Look or Life I think.
It showed on the cover four Presidents, three of the future. John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, and John Kennedy jr.!
Oh, you get those, too?
I've often wondered, how they know, whom to send those ads to?"
===============================================================
I've managed to de-spam my mailboxes, or at least reduce it, so I don't get 'em anymore. But for a while there, after hundreds and hundreds of 'em, I was starting to become insecure about things..ah...er.. I had never much thought about before. :-))
I mean, I was thinking to myself, WHO knows me THAT well?!! Crap! What happened to that "right of privacy" thingy they keep yapping about?!
Well, I guess there are more important things to worry about.

It's like a laptop, only fatter and noisier, and you can't surf the web or play games on it.

Only a few years later than 1961, I thought I'd be OLD in 2000! (43)
I've found that's not the case! :-)
Ahhh.. maybe nightly, depending on certain factors, like age, the wife, the girlfriend..no, no .. ah, mostly the wife.

Everyone.
Even women.
I put that stuff down the garbage disposal.
I pay $30/month for sewage, and I'm gonna get my money's worth!!!
Awesome post.
LOL....Im ten years older than you and in 61 I thought my mother who was 40 at the time, ancient....
Don't know why that reminds me of a Seinfeld quote: "She had Man-Zans!"
Some were very, very close.
I like the one about there being no mental illness!! Bahhahahahaa..
My mother has always done that exact thing. She got tired of critters ripping into the garbage bags, so decided to freeze all edible garbage. She cuts used plastic gallon milk containers in half and uses the bottom halves as disposable garbage containers.
I'm still waiting for x-ray glasses that really work 8)...
Around the time this article was written, a strapping young genuis, a sage, a prophet for his time, was idly daydreaming in his ninth-grade algebra class when a magnifecent idea seized him. The idea for a global network of inter-connnected home computers, capable of transitting entire libraries of information at light speed, reproducing sound, data, and films across the globe in mere seconds...
The young man's name was Albert Gore, Jr. We know him better as the Inventor of the Internet!
I fully expect that when I'm 85, I'll be railing about those old 105-year-olds driving below the speed limit, in the left lane, with their turn signals permanently on.
