I guess your Kamasutra must be very, very limited.

Sounds like you made your grandkids' day, sygazelle, giving them a good laugh.

I actually love it when they get one on me. We have such fun together. I'm thinking of starting a new thread based on Graucho Marx quote: "“Growing old is something you do if you're lucky.” Heck, I'm going to do it!

Yes, I agree… nothing like it. Tbh, I still feel young inside. It’s my body that won’t cooperate.

When sitting leads to semi-rigor. Not postmortem rigidity, since I'm not dead. Maybe post-exercise rigidity? Loosey-goosey when I sit down. Stiff as cold clay when I stand up again.

So today it was my turn to order lunch and collect $ from everyone. One of the guys comes into my office and puts down a $20. I say wait, what change do I owe you? I look at the email and see his lunch was $18.75 so I owe him $1.25 change. Immediately I start to sing $1.25er, $1.25er. Two finger lickin good pieces of chicken, roll and potatoes....

Can it possibly be that at one time in my life the above only cost $1.25???? Am I that old or am I so old I got the amount wrong?

Wifey and I went to a local bar near campus the other day for lunch. This place used to have cheap burgers and fries. You could buy a side basket of fries that was plenty for two people. Two burgers and a basket of fries used to run about $12 there. We hadn't been in a long time, so we decided to go back. They no longer sell the side basket of fries. You have to order fries as a $3 extra when you order your burger. We were pretty surprised at how few fries you got for your $3. And the burgers got pricey. Two McD's sized burgers and the small fries sides cost $28 before a tip. Yikes. We won't be eating there any more.

I kept thinking about "Burger, fries, and a Coke and change back from your dollar." Those days are long gone, I guess.

I'm reminded of going to Harrington's Bar & Grill near my office in downtown San Francisco for its Friday lunch special: a burger with fries and two drinks for $3.95. The burger was average, as were the fries, but no one ever went to an Irish bar for the food.

The drinks could be anything they served; however, if you ordered martinis, they brought a medium shaker filled with ice-cold martini. It was, at the very least, a quadruple of their regular martini, a drink in which vermouth was present only if you worked really hard at imagining its being there. Those were the days. Now, I need a nap after a couple of drinks, never mind four.
