OT: FOGIE poll

[beamish]

I'm 64. Will be 65 in October.

Anyone else??

75 in June.

Greatest shock I've ever had was when my Medicare card arrived in the mail
unexpectedly.

 

[Bill in Co.]

Things could be worse. Like, say, receiving a Medicaid one.

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

How long have Grace and you been married?

My worst moment was when the first waitress asked me if I wanted to see the
senior menu.

If I remember to use 'Grecian Just For Men' I can pass for 40 and I
thougt I was only 23+

Be very careful with that stuff. It eventually damages the skin as it is
principally lead acetate.

You guys are all still kids. I remember Teddy Roosevelt, and his speech
on the back of that train. I just miss hiking with him in the woods
these days.

Did he and you have any 'little secrets'?

How old is Grace?

Well, I'm 57, as I said, and while frequently told I don't look 57, I
sure as hell don't look 37, either. But I have one moment to cherish:
About two weeks after my 50th birthday, I was CARDED BUYING BEER IN A
SUPERMARKET. Admittedly, the young cashier wasn't the brightest bulb on
the tree, but I still walked out of that supermarket clicking my heels!

I knew I was getting old when unexpectedly in Phoenix, we bought tickets
to some museum and they started senior citizen tickets at 50. We
laughed about that for weeks that we were now senior. Of course a dozen
years later when we really are its not quite as funny, but it was then.

I was 65 last December. Nice to know I'm not the only old fogie
still around.

I still have just over a year to reach the 65 mark, so I guess I'm
a junior fogie. Who else but us fogies have the time to hang
around MS newsgroups?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

I tip for carding.

I think I can beat that !
When my daughter was about 6 (she is now 36 with 2 daughters of her
own) we went with her on a school trip to St Fagans, near Cardiff (UK
for those not living there)
In one of the buildings was a museum and in this museum was a copy of
an Eagle annual that had been bought for me as a lad !
That is when you feel extremely pre-historic.

Yes, I'm at that awkward age: I have to ask whether I qualify for the
senior discount or not.

 

[Jack Gillis]

I also just lurk here, but I believe that I should be on the list. I am
79; my first hands-on computer experience was a 1500-tube digital computer
used to control the NIKE I,

One sure sign of being a fogie is the failure of memory. But it sure seems
to me the Nike Ajax used an analog computer. Maybe the NIKE I and the Ajax
were not the same thing. Wonder what happened to all those sites? Mine (A
Battery- 75th Btn) just outsided of DC, is no longer there and hasn't been
for many, many years. I guess some were put to other uses.

Oh well, a little nostalgia never hurts. Just remeber that there is only a
very fine line of distinctions between a middle aged swinger and a dirty old
man.

senior discount or not.

Solution: don't ask. Most places don't demand proof.

Unfortunately, in Chicago, public transportation drivers DO. I have
to wait another 6 months before I qualify for free transportation.

LOL!

 

[PD43]

LOL!

You have any input other than "LOL" in this thread Billy bob?

I think you're the only one to reply who hasn't admitted your age.

You figure it out. I already gave you some hints with Teddy. LOL.

You're a clown.

 

[PD43]

You're a clown.

And you're also unworthy of a reply from here on out.

Buh-bye clown.
