devldog131 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Was half of my life ago. I was a freshly boot camp graduated Marine on recruiters assistance on an epic streak of random tail. I'm now a 36 year-old, married, homeowner, with two kids.
KD in CA Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I was celebrating my divorce two weeks earlier. Now married with 3 kids!
Augie Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 ...the last time, I had NO idea it would take THIS long to get back!

KW95 - JA17 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I watched my friend bend over and do the unthinkable.

Dr. Fong Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I was living in Thailand and my son was still three years away from being born.
May Day 10 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 im still dumbfounded. i had a lot of faith in them taking care of business... but the way it went down in baltimore was perfect
That's No Moon Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I'd never met my wife. I was still an undergraduate. I had no kids. I still technically lived with my parents. My grandfather was still alive. I drove a maroon 1989 Pontiac Grand Am. My sister was still in high school. NONE of the students I've taught in the last 5 years had been born yet. Jack Eichel was 3 years old. You could still send a telegram. Nobody knew what a hanging chad was. Nobody knew who Osama bin Laden was. Renting videos was still a thing. HDTV was brand new.

Marv's Neighbor Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I had been working for the same company for 31 years, looking forward to retirement. Then 9-11 happened in 2001, the company went CH-11 in 2002, I "retired" in 2003, and we lost a big piece of our pension in 2004 because the "bankrupt" company couldn't pay us what we earned and were promised. The old bankrupt company "emerged" from bankruptcy, and are doing quite well now. The retirees are another story! The good news is that I found a new job in 2004, and retired from that in 2016, with a small, but very much appreciated pension, and now the BILLS are in the playoffs! .

I know we felt that as well. Glad things seem to have worked out. Bills will play in JANUARY! I like the new regime and feel that given time we can be seriously relevant, not just squeak in.
Buddy Hix Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I was 21...wild as !@#$ and celebrating news year in NOTL
BRH Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 My daughter was six months old. Now she’s a freshman coxswain at William Smith. She hates football, but that’s okay. My son, who bleeds Bills colors, was still three years away from being born. He’s a freshman in high school and I am so frickin’ happy for him because the Bills are in the playoffs. My wife and I had been married for a year and a half. We will celebrate our 20th anniversary in August. I was a year and a half out of law school and still in my first post-law school job. I’m on my fifth now, and this one finally took... i’ve been there seven years and will probably retire from it. I had just turned 30 seven months earlier. In five months or so, I’ll be a year away from the big 5-0. A lot of water under that bridge. Was it worth it? Every second. 1
