    …12. You know deny you’re getting older when the young ‘uns STOP calling you Uncle/Auntie because no one taught them the english-language word for non-familial GrandFather/GrandMother which is how they wish to address you now. :-/

    13. You remember the Haram with only seven minarets.

    14. YOu know the Yellow Pages are not really web pages.

    15. You know UnCola is, in fact, 7-up.

    16. You remember when Jannah.org was in an albany.edu sub-directory.

    17. You had a nap in-between reading points 15 and 16 above.

    18. You say chesterfield and no one knows you’re referring to a sofa or couch.

    19. China was something in your kitchen cabinet and not a World Power.

    20. Apple was a fruit.

    As salaamu alaikum Sis J!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . oh wait, crap, I’m OLD!!

    Yeah, 80′s and 90′s music makes me nostalgic . . .

    Addicted to chai . . . . (just made some!)

    Well, I think being called “Brother” is a good thing – I know some younger ones (age 23) who don’t even know that is how any Muslim male is addressed (or same for Sister and female Muslims). It is a reminder of the bond we share.

    Anyways, congrats to Jannah’s little Sisoooooo! YAY!!! *Uncle Anees (pun intended) gives many presents to his NY Sis* – the cool, hip one, not the one who runs a website ;-)
    *runs away before Jannah gives him one up the side of the head*
