I too, used a slide rule when I was in college. And, log tables were in vogue, too. That was a long time ago.
am doing terrible at math and i have a calculator, boy you had it hard GrandpaBW and garmoon, but it is a useful skill
Nelmeco, Wait till you get to be 63 like me and you'll know what tired really is! LOL!! Best Regards, theone :>)
@Nelmeco So sorry you're tired of getting old- that equates to a death wish! LMAO The secret to life is to keep having birthdays. HB to you!
haha, I dont have a death wish, I'm just seeing how much responsibility, that I will have to have in the future, and it makes me think back to when I was younger and I had no worries at all. By the way, thats a funny quote.
@Nelmeco The responsibilities are just going to get worse the older you get. Celebrate the present as much as possible and when you get to be my age-62 in 5 weeks-you will have had a great time and wonder where those 44 years went-but oh the wonderful memories!
And God I thought I was ancient. My bones felt it when I had to get in the attic this evening to unstop the AC drip line so AC would work-they say a cool front is here and a colder one is on the way. Yeah right! It's still 65 outside. Mid 80s last three days. My grass needs mowing. Bah humbug!
Baton Rouge, Louisiana- political corruption Capital of the world and home of the LSU Tigers-the next National Football Champions.
Garmoon, Must be the Ghost of Huey Long! LOL!! I used to live in Texas and I've been to Baton Rouge many times. I hope you are right about the Tigers! They are an exciting team to watch! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to All Theone :<)
