How Old Are You?


The tangent about monitor resolution got me wondering how old every one is.

Re: How Old Are You?


Heck, I've had one foot in the grave for the last 40 years. Re-word the choices.

Lemme see...

Young punk
I don't make any mistakes
Old enough to know better
Old enough to do better
Wear my glasses upside down when doing ceiling work
Spend most of my time telling youngsters what real work was like

For those of us that still wear bags and do the clerical stuff too, you are absolutely 100% correct. The trades beat you down mentally and physically like nothing else.

Re: How Old Are You?


I get younger as the day goes by.
Thr morning is slow with a lot of snap ,crackle and pop of body parts. After the coffee,shower and Excedrin kick in I feel young enough to tackle the drive to work. After I get the truck unloaded and the tools set up, I am 18 again. Full speed till lunch. After lunch if you pi$$ me off,I throw a temper tantrum ,pack up my toys and go home.
