I like to tell the kids that I roped, rode and branded dinosaurs before cattle and horses came along. That would put me at 150,000,053 years old on Aug. 28. They don't seem to believe me but they do agree that I've got a lot of miles on me.

Just a word of advice on dinosaur wrangling: Never, Never, Never throw a rope around a T-Rex. They'll suck it up like a strand of spaghetti just to get to that meatball hanging off the end.

While I remember gas wars at 19 cents a gallon, I also remember at the same time having $5 in my pocket after bills was a miracle.

I inherited a homeplace that cost $20 an acre in 1956, the 3 BR house built then for nearly $10,000, sold recently for almost $130,000. If you earned $6,000 a year then you were a lender. If making that now you're a borrower.

Gas prices are not nearly in step with inflation since those days. Perpare for $4 a gallon, eventually $5-$6 to catch up with Europe. We're competing with China for fuel now, it's billion people at last able to afford cars and gas to move them, and more than willing to pay the price. The gas will be taken wherever people are willing to pay for it. That's all the more reason to develop our own massive oil reserves more and pass laws preventing its export. We have the technology now to prevent fouling the earth pumping and piping it, or play games with hyper "ecologists" and end up with wind-driven sail cars. <!--graemlin::eek:-->

I used to dig Guahogs back then. It was a good way to make a living and honestly it didn't take long to make $10.00 if you were not affraid to work. Pretty much the same thing goes today, if you want to work and not live off the state you can do it. To many of the young folks today have had things handed to them and really don't know what a hard days work means. Even though I only took $10.00 on my date back then I still had a bank book with more in it. Just my thoughts...

Originally posted by: John C. Taylor on 9/14/2005 5:24:37 AM

Wow, a ten dollar date---I'd almost forgotten about that. I grew up in a farming background so dollars per hour wasn't even an issue. However, Dad was really understanding about such things. As he handed me a ten dollar bill after we shut down the tractor on a Saturday evening, he would say something like "don't you think you might spending a little too much time with that girl"? Then he would hand me the key to our 500 gal. tank so I could fill up my car.

Dad passed away in April 1998 at the age of 67. He went along with me when I bought my new and current 1998 4x4 GMC 3/4 ton pickup on April 1. We had a great time playing with the truck that day. Just a couple of weeks later, Keith, my only brother, and I drove Dad's ashes to the graveyard in the new 4x4. Since we didn't know where Dad was to be buried, one of my sisters was supposed to lead the way . Renee' hit the gas and we quickly lost sight of her. We drove all over town and finally arrived at the burial site about 20 minutes late. Everyone was standing around wondering what happened to Dad and his two sons. Mom, who passed away in Sept. 2001, broke the tension by saying that I know your father probably wanted to prolong his last pickup ride. I think I'll probably hang on the that truck until the wheels fall off.

Anyway, no matter your age, enjoy a full life. Live your dreams and cherish your memories. Above all, have a lot of fun along the way.

I smiled at the postings of inexpensive gas and $10.00 dates. There wasn't a MacDonalds, when I was growing up. If you had $10.00 you must have held up a bank! They had a free show once a week, they blocked off the street and showed the cartoons first , while the older folks shopped. The popcorn was free.
Pecked potatoes for 1/2 cents a peck or you could pick potatoes for 10 cents a bushel.
Got 10 cents a line for setting pins at the bowling alley. Thanks for letting me remenise, oh I am only 70 years old. Enjoy life while you have the health to do so.

Very well stated LandLunker. Your advice is good for all of us.

I didn't see a Micky D's until my senior year in high school. Mom made a better hamburger than they did so I wasn't too impressed.

We didn't really eat there until our first two boys pratically dragged us there because of TV adds featuring the clown RM. Now the young ones (our 2nd family) likes to eat there at least once a week. They've got that playland thing going on so a least the six year old gets to burn off some his excessive energy.

Hey Robert---have you ever noticed that even though you stopped counting birthdays, it seems your family is always happy to point out your age? I know if I ever forget my age my brother and three sisters will delight in reminding me (my wife isn't so bad). I do rather like the idea of stop counting because time is something that goes on and on and on. It's what you do with your time that really matters.

But they just throw me into the water like I deserve it.

They are awful,
They're not the kind they promise to be,
The fish is around me all the time.
I like fish but hope fish hate me.

Don't bite at me you fish!
Or both of us will die.
Into the heaven or fall into the hell.
I kept my promise,please keep your distance.


Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to U.
All fish have to do is look at me to know
that bite me means dead.

It's the middle of Nov,finally the weather of south China is a little bit cooler.Last night my mom told me that:
It's very cool at night.Remember to use the thick bedquilt.
I feel very warm in my heart and said:It doesn't matter.
Then she said:It doesn't matter if you catch cold.But it does matter if you catch cold and then infect us.

thankyou turnip. and yes 14 june is flag day. sorry to hear that that is the date you burried you oldest son. it's a shame that a parent has to go through that. in my opinion the kids are supposed to bury the parents not the other way around. remember this is just my opinion.


beginnerfisherman don't keep all that from keeping you all tied up. i remember when i was 15, almost 10 years ago, i was working all the time and didn't have time to do the things that i wanted to do. now i jump at the chance to get out and be a kid it's kinda hard now but i do go out and have fun unlike when i was 15. try not to slow down at your age keep going strong and enjoy life while you can.

Oops!I never mean to hurt anybody!And sorry----------------seems to be the hardest word to say.
In fact,5 lbs fish is quite enough for a 165lbs guy for one meal,they won't stay fresh anyway.So we can see scotteph is quite environmental.
Leave the big fish for the fat guys.
scotteph is quite considerate in a way!

You are just a young fart. But, keep practicing and some day you'll be an old fart like me.

turned another page in the year book of life today, so that makes it 71 now.

A thought for some of the youngsters:
They that do not learn something new everyday
are all ready dead,
They just lack the formality of a funeral.
thoughts stolen from someone, but can't remember who to give credit to.



It is not what you take to the pond that counts,
It's waht you bring home that matters!

Most of my co-workers think I'm around 27, 28 My wife says I'm about 12 but my birth certificate says I will be 36 in Dec. When I was 12 I caught my first largemouth bass on a artificial lure. It was a red and yellow Lucky 13 and a Zebco 33 rod and reel combo. Fish weighed 3-1/2lbs. Fished that lure somemore and can't remember another fish I caught after the 1st (maybe I am older then I think) <!--graemlin::confused:--> <!--graemlin::rolleyes:--> <!--graemlin::D--> <!--graemlin:;)-->. but that reel was nothing but junk after that.
Ya know I think I caught more and better fish when I was younger, maybe that's because I had a lot more time to fish.
The same thing happened to me on another site. I started thinking about a great time in my past and I just keep talking (to myself) <!--graemlin:;)--> and typing sorry about that.

Just turned 60 on Aug. 18th.

There is a song by a band called Little feat.

The name of the song is "The Old Folks Boogie"

The refrain goes...
"Well you know,
that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise
That your Body can't fill.

John, take care of your back. It only gets worse as you get older. I was a cabinet maker after I retired from the Army. And crawling in and out of those did my back no good, just one problem after another now I have Arthritis in my lower back but thats just one of those things us old guys learn to live with. Well now it's time to change my mower blades and get some work done.<!--graemlin::D--><!--graemlin::D--> Paul

Well let me think a bit about this one. I can remember when a hungry T-Rex tried to eat Dino, my favorite dogasauras. Guns were not invented yet but I managed to bing it's nose with a big rock and knock it out cold. Before it came to I haltered and saddled the critter and made one fine ridin' animal out of it. As long as you kept it well fed with Stega steaks it wasn't anymore dangerous than ole Dino. <!--graemlin::)-->

I sure miss those good old days.-------JCT
