So, I'm looking for vintage widgets that I collect. By vintage I mean from the 1950's.
So the auction title says "20 Year Old Widget!!" and something triggers my brain to think....ah, vintage! I go to look at the picture and it's a widget I bought new in what seems like yesterday! I mean, that was 1981!!!! Was that really 20 years ago? I guess to a twenty year old that seems like something from the ancient past...

Just yesterday I was 17 and graduating from high school. I don't know what happened--according to my license I am 46!

This should make everyone feel young.
I was watching "Collectible Treasures" w/ Sharon Anderson on HGTV tonite and she said that in the world of TOY COLLECTBLES an antique is only 50 years instead of the standard 100 years.

I've been thinking about just this same subject lately and have come up with a solution. I will decided what I want to be when I grow up and not a minute sooner and my adult children will have not a thing to say about it. It did me no good to tell them anything. How does one do that 'neener, neener, neener thing on line? Anyone?
