I don't mind mixing in some humor and having fun. I just like to be a bit causious when I first joint an opponents board. I'm not interested in offending people and ending up in a trash talking situation.

I'll have to admit, being called a young fella, made me laugh. I went to a one room school with 9 kids over 9 grades. Had a 16 year old teacher named "Tinny" who lived with each family one month according to how many kids they had in the school. That's how she got her room and board. I remember getting electricity and indoor plumbing. We use to have a "two holer" and my first phone number was 2 shorts and 3 longs.

Oh, I'm retiring the end of the year by the way......

 

LOL, yea it sounds like I'm that old doesn't it..... LOL Naw, no Pony Express, but it was a quarter mile to the mailbox. I was born in Nebraska, in an area called "The Sandhills" not much out there when we left in 1955 and less out there today.

I'm 63 years old by the way.

 

Yep..... Lots has changed in over the decades. That's the fun part, experiencing the changes. We'll most of them, when your body starts talking to you and telling you to slow down, that's the not so fun part. Takes a little longer to get the body warmed up and moving.

Still think I can beat my grandson on the bball court with about a month's practice. That may just be a classic aging issue where guys don't admit what their body won't do anymore.

 

I remember the Oxbow well. My mom was from New Roads, and we'd go eat there every few months all the way through the mid 90's.

 

I meant geezer.

You're a year older than me. Stick around so I get to be the whippersnapper.

By the way, I walked barefoot through the snow to get to school.

 

LOL, snow in Louisiana? Or are you a northern transplant? I didn't walk barefoot, usually road a horse as long as it wasn't too cold for the horse (Mousy was her name). If it was, it was time for our parents to drive us.

 

Yea, geezer............. I'll tell you when my grand daughter came over and started talking about her Econ 101 class and wanting help, I felt old!!

The 60s are that bad, just the body takes a lot more care to get it moving.

 

I work out every day (for the past 6 months). 6 foot 205 (was 238 on opening day 2010). I walked 36 holes of golf on Thursday and Sunday. I only have one muscle that takes a lot more care to get moving. :cry:
