My niece told me today she is pregnant. I am officially old.

 

Congratulations!

 

Congrats, Prot......But that only makes you a "Great Uncle" not a "Grand Father"

 

While I'd like to congratulate you on the threshold of becoming a great uncle (as I am, several times over), I'm also pleased to assure you that you are not yet old! A great debate over here in the UK at present is that very subject and attempts to define what being 'old' actually means. In essence, it seems, it means reaching a point of becoming dependent on others for day-to-day living support. So while you're swanning about in that gorgeous Corvette old chap, you ain't old!

 

Ice cream anyone?

This place is the last one in the world and is in the city I live in.

Just made a run to the bank. On the way, I saw a Jeep with a "My other car is a Corvette" sticker on it. Thought of you, Prot!

 

Looks a wonderful place - I don't know what I'm letting myself in for, but make mine a Black Walnut please! Thanks......

This is a favourite of ours, albeit at the other end of the country from us, from the same era as Borden's:

It's actually been rescued from being very dowdy, bought up by new owners, been refreshed and looking quite something now.

 

That's pretty cool.

 

I was feeling lousy due to a bad week at work. I went to a restaurant for lunch on Thursday which is the day after my work week is over. They offered me a senior citizen discount. I was born in 71, I am not 71. FML

 

Prot - that is just too much! Sympathies young chap - I wouldn't go there again if they are so disrespectful.....
