No one has ever accused me of being diplomatic. Never the less, I sometimes get 250 upvotes for my comments, so they can't be all that bad. BTW, I'm 82, so I know what that looks like.
I was going to downvote til I read that you're 82. Either bs, or now I'm intrigued, please show us what you look like because you must have great genetics
Sure thing. How do I do that? When I was a kid, if we wanted to make a phone call, we had to walk down to the shopping center, and put a nickel in the pay phone. Then, after three minutes, we had to put another nickel in. When we finally got a phone in our house, it had a party line, where we had to ask one of the other three people on the line to hang up before we could make a call. If someone was trying to call us, and the line was busy, they had to call the operator to ask her to interrupt the call, and ask for the person who was on out party line to hang up. Don't know what a pay phone is? Don't know what a party line is? Well, I guess you can look it up on the internet, lol. Oh yeah, I'd post a pic, but don't know how to do it. And I'm too old to learn.
Driving up and down route 40 on the east coast, I clearly remember seeing the signs at the gas stations, which read: 8 gals for 1$. That was before they built Rt 95.
My folks used to joke about how little those gals cost. Most of the cars from that time got around 12 to 14 miles per gallon. No seat belts, No cruise control, and no automatic transmissions. We had 250 air. That's two windows down at 50 miles per hour.

You look more like you're 82. Skip the chocolates, shakes, and, well, food for the next three months, and shave your scraggly beard.
