Was just wondering if anybody on these sites was born in or before 1934. I've been trying to look at the birthdays every day and have'nt seen anybody 70 or so years young yet. Got back on the web again today, so I may have missed some birthdays.

At what age does an old fart become an old codger?

UMM How old are you Stan?

Mexstan

Not old enough to be called either one. Although on second thoughts, my wife does complain loudly and chase me out of the house at times due to some odoriferous umm, occurances. So maybe I do qualify for one of the names.

To phox mulder Yes they are confusing a lot of the times. The wife helps me out a lot, shes a bit younger and being a wife and all, for sure knows more than I do, if you know what I mean. When I grew up, Wife says I never did, we had mechanical typerwriters and wooden penciles. No ball point pens and no tv. Got tv in the early 50's. we're just starting to use calculators to do our income tax, they help a lot you know. Thanks for the reply

Hey waam, come and live in Mexico. You will feel right at home in some stores, even Office Max, Office Depot, Wal-mart, Costco etc. They all sell new manual typewriters - right next to the electric typewriters, which are next to the computers.

mexstan No thanks to hot. Went to Acapulco once for ten days, had a good time. Stayed right on the bay on the beach. Someone asked me what I all saw down their, I told them I saw a lot of skin, if you know what I mean. Bought a 12 pac. of Corona every morning, then wife says we were spinding to much money, I then told her we did'nt come all the way down here to see how much money we could save, but we did have a good time. Probably don't need all those new fangled gadgets anymore, can't hardly handle what I got now. waam Holland, Mich.

It is only on the coast that it is hot. Where I live the temperature stays fairly constant the year round.. Right now it is 74 degrees, humidity of 50%, a nice breeze and a brilliant blue sky with a few puffy white clouds floating by. Days like these are hard to improve on.

Does 1933 qualify? Seen a lot of change over the years. Love to read the post of the young folks who say"never in my whole life." People, if your lucky you got a lot of years to go.
Still can't make this computer work as well as a pad and pencil.
