Reality Check by Dave Whamond for January 31, 2024

It takes longer every year.

From here to eternity.

It disappeared with Y2K!!!

Not there be option to just typed it in?

All those boxes to check and none for 80-90 or 90-100.

Is “dirt” even on there?!

Give it a flip and let it spin. 3-4 times.

Ah the ole old scroll. And scroll. And scroll.

let the good times scroll…

Keep Scrollin’, scrollin’, scrollin’

Keep them dead guys scrollin’ …

A comment on getting older.

i know the feeling

I know the feeling. Scrolling to the 1950’s takes some time!

I know the feeling. I’m surprised that they still show the fourties.

A couple years ago I saw a drop down menu for birth year that went back to 1900. Nuts.

Yes! You’d think CTRL + D would work.

Sometimes they make you scroll down by MONTH! Now, I am quite well into my senior-citizenhood and it takes me about an hour.

A Wikipedia article on the oldest currently living people gives Maria Branyas of Spain as the current number one. She was born on March 4, 1907. There are another 10 who were born prior to 1910.

I’ve never scrolled to the bottom of one of those lists, but I’ll have to see how far they go the next time I run across one.

To find my date of birth you first have to find an actual scroll.

I hope he wasn’t applying for life insurance! :)

Ohhh good grief…does THIS seem familiar!

What intrigues me are how many of those lists start with the current year. Just how many newborns are active on social media?

Very creepy!

“it’s okay, ma’am… this happens all the time…”
