Explanation Please!!!!
« on: May 16, 2012, 07:03:49 pm »
WHY do so many folks crab and complain and then I see them posting time after time after time after time ad nauseum on FACEBOOK?

Common sense dictates that if they would get off the damn computer and/or SmartPhone they would have all the time they need!

Sorry folks...it must be an old man thing...after all I am OLD and a long time believer in COMMON SENSE!

Right on GB. What do you consider old? I want to know if I qualify for that prestigious distinction. Most of the time I feel older than I am!

Well I hit the "Diamond' Jubilee of 75 two weeks from today. I guess 75 qualifies as OLD in human terms.

I just wonder where Mr. Common Sense went!?!?!?!?

I do everything all at once.  If my hands start hurting, of course i get on the computer, but I do cut, chase Scotty, and do what I can around here.  I just can't mow my yard cause I do not have a mower :(.  need a hydroylic pump for the ol girl.

I'm personally not old GB.  I am middle aged.  At least I am if I live to be 124.   ;D

I totally agree GB. 

I spend my time on the computer mostly here with the group. It is my morning coffee and time with Missy the bird. Then I get my butt to work. The yard work never ends (there is something to be said about North Dakota winters)
My sister is 72 and I am a couple of years younger and we can still out work most of the young people we know.  In fact we call ourselves Babe and Gypsy after a team of work horses we had as kids.

i guess old is as old does ;)

Age is relative. 

A man asked, "God how much is a nickle worth to you". God said, " A nickle is about a million dollars"
The man asked," God how long is a minute to you". God said, " A minute would be like a million years"
The man asks again, " God can I borrow a nickle"
God says, "Just a minute now".
