Stark reminder!

Chilling with my 20-year old Asian spinner last night in my living room watching TV before we left for dinner.   A commercial played advertising some service targeted for seniors (like me!). The last screen of the ad included a phone number in this format:   (nnn) nnn-HELP.  

 
This sweet girl who had just banged my brains out casually asked me:  "Daddy, how do you dial "HELP" on a phone?" I think she was looking for some kind of button in the app labeled help.  

 
Now, being the consummate gentleman, and thoroughly appreciating the post-CIP high I was on, my reply was smooth, and lacking any aspects of my inner scream of "WTF? G'dam I'm old!" I explained the 3-letter labels on each number and then translated HELP into 4357 without looking at my phone.    

 
When you consider that her entire life started well after the demise of rotary phones and well into the demise of push-button land lines, it should not be surprising that phone numbers displayed as words are atypical for her.  But still...  

 
A stark reminder that a 40-year experience gap (literally TWICE her lifetime) is significant.

She might be able to teach you how to use Snapchat and other crazy platforms.
It’s great to share..

My 25 yo #1 SB is trying to teach me Snapchat and I'm doing very poorly with it, very frustrated, I just don't get it.  Why would you want a message platform where the messages disappear? Reminds me of my grandparents who could not figure out how to use a rotary phone when they were invented.  They were used to talking to the operator when making a call. So the new fangled phone with the weird dial on it was waaaay too high tech and intimidationg for them.  The shoe is on the other foot now, lol.

Snapchat sucks.  I hate it.  Messages disappear.  Pictures can't be saved.

I've learned how to use Snapchat - I had to. LOL  

 
But as a messaging platform it's... well I think the technical term is "stupid."  

 
It has morphed into a marketing tool for OF models and the tool of choice for women to take selfies with a huge selection of filters (which are also "stupid").   Actually, I now tend to qualify POT's in part by their use of Snapchat.  Those who DO NOT use it get priority.

My very first medical SB -- an RN -- was 21 and fresh out of nursing school and so excited to be working in one of the biggest local hospitals...I was absent-mindedly playing with her perfect DDs while we chatted after the first round of festivities.  She was very excited about a real job in the "real world" and benefits, retirement, PTO, etc.  She said, absolutely amazed, "you know, I even get $4.75 an hour to be on call -- isn't that crazy?"  And I said, "Wow!! $4.75 just to carry a pager is fantastic!!"  

 
"What's a pager?" she asked.  

 
I didn't say anything...I just enjoyed the fact that those gorgeous 21-year-old boobs were available to an old dumbshit like me...

One chick in my rotation is a mid-20s Indian American. Ambitious, smart, and hot. We've been seeing each other for a year.

 
She's breaking into real estate in a major east coast city. It's tough for a young girl because buyers embarking on big transactions want to know a mature person is taking care of details. My SB questioned me about mortgage brokers, the banks themselves, and the secondary mortgage market (although she didn't know that term). I answered her questions and I referred to the real estate and mortgage bond debacles of 2006-2008 which preceded the crash of 2008.

 
Sweet sugar baby was completely unaware of the economic "highlights" of 2006-2008. Didn't even know there had been a crash in 2008. I was kinda stunned because she is not some airheaded hottie. She's smart and intuitive.

 
OK, so she was 10 or 12 when all of that went down. But, wow, what the hell do they teach them in the classes they take to be a real estate broker????? (I showed her an 8-minute clip from The Big Short and we'll watch the whole thing in bed together soon.) :)

 
And don't even ask me about the blank look I got from a chick when I mentioned the Berlin Wall.

You are so correct about today’s trend of historical knowledge.  

 
So many young people have the historical perspective of a tree squirrel.  

 
I think the scarcity of newspapers might be part of the problem.  

 
Not long ago I stopped into a drug store and asked if they had a copy of The Boston Globe (local paper of record in the Northeast). The person at the counter directed me to where they had street maps.  

 
When I countered that I was looking for a newspaper, they looked puzzled and said “noose payyyper?

 
Good luck with everything you young folk.

The only thing you learn in RE prep classes is howcto pass the exam. I find it humorous that every time you have to renew one of the required courses is ethics. IMO you can't teach someone to be ethical.

... after reading all of these messages, including mine, that this less about our SB's being young, and more about all of us being really, really, REALLY fucking old. LOL

This is one of the great joys of the sugar world, when you have some gorgeous gal look at you and say "wow" because you know something they don't.
Embrace your codgerhood!
