"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I got monkeyleg on parents, too.  Dad was 92 and mom was 97 when they passed.  My dad's sister was 90 and mom's sister was 92. He does have me on the 102 year old, though.

I also think it is time that you young snots start treating your elders with the respect we deserve.  That amounts to you supplying us with whatever we want whenever we want it.  If you think we want something for nothing, you will be wrong. We will give you advice; which will be more valuable than anything else you might lust after.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I am but a mere child.

Three score and three
The years of mine they be;
'Tis a mere moment in time
That's turned my hair to rime;
When I think of me,
and the mirror see,
It's clear that what is real
Is not the way I feel.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

My oldest was born in June of 1976.

She has produced three granddaughters and brought me a son-in-law who shoots rifle better than I do.

Rodensouth, welcome.  You are afraid of little old us?  I believe that you have a very tough job due to the fact that you patients cannot talk to you to tell you what is wrong.

Thanks adively!  Not so much afraid,as this is a friendly sort of forum, but aware of my ignorance on some of the topics of discussion.

I came here on advise of ArfinGreebly looking for a place to rant about politics, but I found a source of many other cool things to ponder.

Sometimes I think it's a good thing I don't know what the critters are thinking, because I'm fairly certain cats would hurt my feelings!

55.  Or is it 56?  Hell, I can't remember!  Doesn't matter though, except for the various aches and pains, I still feel 18.

Welcome aboard Rodensouth.

Many of us here share a joy of learning and sharing what we know.

With most of us being out in the country or just animal people, your talents would be a great addition to the group, if your up for it?

Don't worry about jumping into a conversation, asking a question or like me most of the time, just sit back and enjoy.

Just came to the realization a couple of days ago that I am the oldest executive in the building where I work.  That includes even the senior management.  I've never been in that situation before.  Weird, it is.
56
Remember older does not mean wiser.

I was in my late 20 when I gave my boss/ owner of the business that his newly hired cfo had problems. That problem is that last 4 companies we worked for went belly up. Needless to say the cfo did not last long.

I must be an infant.  Been up since 2 AM, fussing and unable to get back to sleep for no discernable reason.  I'm not wet, I've been fed, took Gas-X for the burps, and there are no monsters under the bed or in the closet.

If this is how that second childhood is going to play out, I'm going to skip it and go sit on the sofa, drool, and tell pointless stories like Grandpa Simpson.

stay ssafe.
