    Thinking how convenient it was waiting for a TV dinner to heat up in the oven in under 45 minutes.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    All that I have to do is look in a mirror.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Remember when people mowed their own lawns, cleaned their own homes, and going out to eat was a special occasion?

    There's a whole lot of hate for young people going on this week. I'm sure that your previous generation was saying the same crap about you when they were your age. Circle of life you bunch of geezers!

    This week? Anytime is fine with me. They're young they can take it. So leave us geezers alone. Brittle bones.

    Yep. We heard "These youngsters can't even hitch up a team of horses to a wagon", "you call that music?", "Get a haircut, weirdo!", and such as that.

    It's probably just envy. You know, look at those dummies, if I could still do what they can do...

    Doesn't matter... just because it was dumb on my (younger) part doesn't mean the young'ns now aren't doing dumb stuff.

    I can remember a new place called McDonalds where I could get three hamburgers, fries and a coke for 99 cents.

    In the 60s, my sister and I found a dime in the grocery store and the clerk gave us 2 candy bars for turning it in. I later realized that the candy bars were normally 8 cents each and on sale for a nickle each at that time.
    At the bowling alley my parents went to, you could get a bottle of pop out of the machine for a dime.

    I bet the burgers were full sized burgers, too.

    I just walked by a mirror and it confirmed that I'm old. "Mirror, mirror on the wall.... Go **** yourself."
