Hello to all I've been reading your comments and solutions for quite some time, And would like to jump on the forum wagon if permitted. Im an older guy but still have the certain thoughts that keep me acting, Well you know kinda young at heart. I have five of the little orange guy's around, and some other colors as well. As soon as my 200 is out of the shop I will try to post pics of my orange brood. Thanks to all.

WELCOME to THE AC FORUM.
Many of us are up in years, but our AC's keep us young at heart. Sometimes the heart pumps too fast when we do somthing stupid. But for the most part they keep us thinking young and give us something to do each day. LOL Bob ------------- 4 B's, 1 C's,3 CA's, 2 G's WD, D14, D15, B-1, B10, B12, 712S, |

Hi LR! Welcome to the crew! If you change your 'handle' to something that suggests your first name, we won't make up a name for you!!! ;-) And by the way... just in case nobody told you... ...we're all the same age here... regardless of when we were actually born...  |

...or as an old Ham Radio buddy of mine once told me: ...You're only as old as the woman you feel... I happen to be 37, and somewhat unstylish... because I'm feeling a 37 Unstyled WC right now... |

| Actually my name is Larry, but have been called many names at .certain times. I am four years older than my youngest Allis so I can feel two from the sixties two from the seventies and one from the eighties, so far. Not all at the same time, Does that sound weird? But you know what I mean, Anyway thanks for all the nice replies from everyone. |

Larry, I too am confused about which age I'm supposed to act like! I am 71 years old with a wife of 48 years, 3 sons with daughters-in-law,2 daughters with sons-in-law, 11 grandchildren ranging from 22 to 5. Each person requires a different action or state of mind for me to be on or at their level. All that combined with my own personal desire not to mentally age to the point of senility or inaction and/or inactivity makes for a confusing state of mind in which I really dont know how to act when told to "act your age"! That's fine, but just which one of them is it that you want right now? I genreally act the way I feel and let them sort it out and then they can say, "it's just Granpa off in his little world"!, and then they are all comfortable because they've got a reason and understand!!!! hee hee joe ------------- You don't really have to be smart if you know who is! |

| Yes Joe I to have heard some similar messages like ( grow up) and (your not as young as you used to be) along with (you must be in Allis land again) But the tractors are fun to play with when I can get the time. |

Growing old is manditory. Growing up is optional.

Welcome to the best place on the internet!! As you can tell, I am from WI too, and not too far away from you. Joe, if I could remember that, I would tell that to the #1 wife, #2 the kids, #3 the grand kids, and also to my 90 year young mother! That's a good one! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??
