Age & sstripclubbing

Older than dirt
One commenter asked who was the best "old timer" on this site. I love reading Farmerart's adventures and Shadowcat's insights and humor. I just returned from 2 weeks in south Florida where I was surrounded by OLD people. Being over 65 I was required to drive 10 mph below the speed limit, not allowed to use directionals, had to eat dinner at 4:30 and carry 1/2 my meal home in a dog bag. Playing golf took 5 hours and I had to play from the "senior tees". Everybody went to church frequently as they are all studying for their finals.
Now that I'm home, I'm getting my ass to my favorite club and have scheduled OTC with my ATF for ASAP. Proof that there's old and there's OLD!

What's a 'check'?
Is there any possibility that you meant to write 'cheque', as those of us literate in the English are wont to do?
Americans..............Sheesh!
Farmerart's adventures? Really? Most of my time is now spent in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, the most barren spots for useful SCs on the North American continent.
My adventures for this weekend will be dealing with the mess in my yard caused by the too-fast snow melt of the past week. Greenhouse work will consume another few hours. There is a particularly nasty chore to be done on my grain truck restoration project that I hope to complete on Sunday.
These are adventures?
Perhaps the gibberish spoken and written in USA is more tolerant of such howlers that pain my eyes.
@mikeyao2 - just humour Art, remember he's ageing & tyred.
You do realize that 'Canadian English' is a thing?
Farmerart, your descriptions of your randy times with Sweetie, whether in Toronto or Hawaii are TUSCL classics. That's if you remember - the memory is the second thing to go, you know.
Another advantage to getting along in years is the ability to make a complete fool of oneself and not worry about it. I've just booked a room at a 5 star hotel & spa and will be joining my ATF there for couples massage in our suite with room service to follow. I envision a meal like the one in the movie Tom Jones, but you need to be old to remember that flique.
Thanks!
OK, I'll buy that.....but you have had so many more with your ATF. Some of the funky stuff you went through with her?..........nothing that I have done comes close to that.
Now.....what were we talking about?
getting old is a bitch but i’m not ready for the alternative
One that never took hold was Westinghouse's use of "employe" in place of "employee" in all of their HR manuals. HR was the only group that used it.
Cold man! I'm in S. Florida and hit the big 65 just yesterday! :-)
I wasn't particularly pleased when the same birthday rolled around for me 4 months ago.
I wonder how many of the 65+ brigade exist here on tuscl? Off the top of my head I can think of 10 of us old wrinklies.

I'm 14 in cat years (72).
"I had to play from the senior tees"
I'm so old I can use my putter to drive the ball
Thanks again. BTW did "I" have a HE at Follies? :)
I have to wait till I am 66 and 3 months I believe it was. I can draw nothing now since my income is so monumental (Yeah, right!).
gawker,
"...my ATF feels that 69 is a number worthy of special attention." Excellent! I hope I can remember that in another 4 years. :)
I last checked when I hit 62. I really think I could draw a reduced amount now, but why not just way till I can draw the full amount? I plan on staying "working" at least as long as this company will have me.
