I know the exact feeling. It gets more painful every year.

Gotta grow old.

Do *NOT* have to grow up.

Living with the aches and pains that come with age is a 2 step process. 1. A couple shots and a few beers helps you to ignore the aches and pains. 2. Ignoring the aches and pains improves the quality of your life.

If this process doesn't help, you need to practice #1 until you get it right.

when you remember when gasoline was 29 cents a gallon!

when you remember the price of 97 octane going to 44 cents a gallon, and burned a set of tires and half a tank of gas in about a quarter mile to vent your frustration.

"No it's not broke it's just busy."
"What do you mean busy?"

You know you're getting old when your grand daughter gets her drivers license at 16 which you did also, 57 years ago. Also your youngest daughter is retiring this month.

I finally ditched nearly all of my diskette software 10 years ago..... then discovered that on a new system build here, I had to go buy a USB floppy drive to read the Windows drivers (I think I've used it once.) I remember installing Windows 386.

I remember doing Windows 1

I remember doing Windows 1

My employer at the time skipped Windows 1. Went from running CP/M on Kaypro 10 luggables to Windows 2/386 for a few select individuals (Excel usage primarily,) then onto a mass migration to Windows 3.11. Really, I do not miss feeding a stack of diskettes one by one....

Taco Bell tacos were 19 cents each!

I remember back when you told someone that you were “installing windows” meant you had to go replace a window you broke playing baseball with the other kids in your neighborhood.
