I was born in '79 and I have a boss who was born in '93.  You know how hard it is to work for someone (who's cute, by the by!) who DOESN'T know a John Hughes movie reference from a hole in the ground!?

Same here. My brother fathered a child at 19 which made me a 10 year old uncle, kinda cool at the time. Now that nephew is 33 and married and I have a grandniece. Where did the time go? I don’t know about you guys, but I simply do not feel “my age”, whatever that’s supposed to mean. I had a wonderful childhood, spoiled but by no means rotten, I’m super nostalgic when it comes to my ‘80s upbringing. I look at a lot of people I grew up with, and we are so different from our parents. Many of us are still unmarried and without children struggling to find affordable housing. Meanwhile, my mother was a 36 year old grandmother with a mortgage.

I only feel slightly less old - 1980 baby here!

Seriously though, time I made an actual contribution to this thread. 80s music is my go-to music and has been for a very long time. I’m also a music chart fiend so have almost obsessive fascinations with Top 10s from way back when - I still remember early 1987 as the time I started consciously remembering watching music videos and the like.

I count Xanadu and Flashdance as two of my all-time favourite soundtracks

      I can finally say it: he looked hot today  And Vaughn was looking pretty hot too. Just what I needed after a long, annoying day  And the rest of the episode was pretty good too, especially Tracy/Brook Lynn. Seriously, Jane elevates every episode that she's in. She works so well with everybody. I was also impressed by Amanda Setton as well I also liked Rocco's nervousness/nerdiness at the party as well. It felt very real, and a little familiar too  Hope he ends up being ok.
    • Fortunately she's got probably a good bit in the can already!!! LOL! I saw this item earlier in the day. I guess she was not on contract. I put this under spoiler space for you. 
    • I just read that Alice Halsey, the new young Rachel, has just landed the role of Laura Ingalls on the Netflix reboot of Little House on The Prairie. https://deadline.com/2025/05/little-house-on-the-prairie-laura-ingalls-cast-alice-halsey-1236383465/ Soooo...I don't see her remaining on Days for too long.
    • Jason, can you give me those dates, pretty please? If so, I'll do an edit of her. She was such a delight. 
    • Sure, babe. I found those once when I was desperately searching for an Alexandra Spaulding dinner party date & I literally struck out everywhere else. We should throw a cyber party & invite Matt Smith & ChickenNuggetz* & whoever helps them with the Vault & Jason47 & Eddie Drueding ... 
    • My late mom remembered Jordan Clarke as Tim Ryan.. and she said he was vastly different than Billy.  She also said she remembered that Rita and Evie were more tangled up with Tim when both came on the show.. while he ended up leaving with another character.   Then Rita was moved into the Ed/Holly orbit taking on the scheming traits of Holly (this was around the time of the original Holly leaving), and Evie got pulled into Ben's orbit.. but not sure if this was during his brief relationship with Hope or not.
    • Not Doug acting like people felt Dani might act during this Ted reveal.   Awww an Andre/Eva scene.    Oooo Silk Press Sheila and her crazy woman music.    MMmmmm...multiple cliffhangers!!!! Kat vs Eva. Nicole vs Ted.    Awww hell no!!! Not Silk Press Sheila confronting the Duprees. Anita might eat her alive. lol. And I was never so glad as to not see them. I was already annoyed at Vanessa/Doug interrupting the action. I actually might have felt a way about seeing them. For once. lol. I do think they were edited out though.   I mean...it's kinda hard NOT to look so      Ooooo I didn't think about that. 
    • Rest in peace, Ruth Buzzi! Laugh In was before my time, but from the clips I have come across on YouTube, she was a very funny lady. Prayers to her loved ones.
