-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Charlie I work at a Hospital and it is even scarier.. the doctors are getting younger.. when I first started at the Hopsital I met the consultant surgeon’s sons..10 and 11 years old… they are now both doctors.. one is training to be a cardiologist and the other a surgeon..

Entitlement was something you had to earn -

there are 2 things that show that you are getting old, one is your memory starts to go,........ and…..... I can’t remember what the other one is.

-- Smitty!!!

WOW

-- Jim, Kentucky

Okay Jim, I think you need new shoes! But I do have to say, I work in a school, in the attendance office. Kids come in everyday to sign in late or leave early and they stare at the clock and some have to ask, what time is it? They can not read a clock unless it’s digetal. What’s up with that? I watch them, they look at the clock and just stare, trying to figure it out and then sometimes still have to ask, what time is it? Just another sign of how old we are, I guess. Or what???

Gee Larry, I sure feel sorry for all those immature inexperienced young folks. I guess their world will be a lot different than ours has been. Of course most of you on this site don’t remember WWII. I owned a 1940 Ford coupe (with an Oldsmobile V8 engine) when I was 16yrs. old. That car was the same age as me.My best friend had a Ford Model A coup for daily transportation and it wasn’t even restored! I remember when dishwashers first came in. My mother said she didn’t know what the big deal was, but after a week she said she couldn’t live without it. I remember flying with United Airlines when they only had propeller planes. When I was a kid on my grandparents farm in 1944-1945 living there with the women while all the men where at war, we didn’t have electricity or running water. We had two plow horses and a hay wagon. The cows were milked by hand. We went to town 6 miles away on a dirt road in a Ford Model A sedan every Saturday night. This was in Onamia Minnesota. Slot machines were legal there, but Indians were not allowed to play them! I don’t mind being old because being retired has given me the opportunity to enjoy my woodworking hobby and I feel privileged to have lived in simpler, but much more optimistic times.

Great David. How about Dr. Kildare, Buelah, The whistler, The Shadow, The Lone Ranger. The Cisco Kid, G-Men, Spade Cooley, Sky King, The Creaking Door, Grand Ole Oprey, Henry Aldrich, Red Ryder and a host of others? I heard all of these on the latest entertainment equipment. It was called the radio, and it’s stilling going strong. We don’t get rid of things (except video tapes and cassettes thank goodness) we just keep adding on. Oh! and I forgot, The Lux Radio Theatre which we listened to once a week on the battery powered radio on the farm. I heard “The Yearling” on that one, I think before the movie was made. Great fun.

-- There is no such thing as a mistake. Its called a design modification Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI

Hey Rustic, I thought your name referred to the type of stuff you liked to build. I didn’t know it was a personal description. :-)

Larry, I was feeling pretty good this morning until I read this. I think I will take my Geritol and go take a nap now. Wake me up when Bonanza comes on.

-- Kent Shepherd * The goal is-----More Tools!

I’m a policeman and my clip board is older (way older) then my newest rookie…..

-- Eric

Wow Larry I guess that really means I am old too. Sigh.

-- Occie down in Costa Rica. come down and see us some time. I'll keep the light on for you Occiegilliam@yahoo.com

Yes Smitty, so true. I have to say Occie, that I never knew they had Gun Smoke on the radio.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Gun smoke on the radio, minny perl, on the grand old oper, dragnet,
Mat Dillon was played by ( i forgot his name) a guy that was five foot two and a little fat, but he had a deep voice.
i like being past all the strong demands that being young put on me. Sex, get ahead, be sombody, now im just an old fart with nothing to prove, i have learned to whittle, spend all day working on a stick with my knife and then just throw it away, being old isen’t that bad, dont you know,

-- david ,new mexico ,allheart

Wow…..I must be older than I thought…...I remember all the above and then some! Who could forget Ed Sullivan, Ted Mack, I Love Lucy, Ozzie and Harriet to name a few more. The youngsters today have not a clue.
My daughter, came to me in my office one day a few years back in a panic…....she said there was something wrong with the TV. Going to see what the problem was, I found that she was watching and old Tarzan movie….in Black and White. She thought the color had crapped out.

-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!

Old? The engineers who come to show me how to do things are 10 years younger than my thermos bottle. I have a dail telphone sitting in the garage and someone asked how you make it work, there were no buttons to push.

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings
