WTF-Beta

I am officially at the age where no prices of anything make any sense to me.

now, excuse me, it’s time for me to write some birthday cards to relatives and tape a one dollar bill into each of them and send them off…

He’s rich and white, but is he old enough?

so that means I was 19 years old when this form started?

my oldest son moved to France three years ago. My daughter is going over for a year on a student visa to give it a try in a couple of months. My ex-wife is in the process of moving probably permanently to the south of France. If two of my kids end up living over there, I may have to actually learn a little bit of the stupid language.

Happy Birthday! Ah yes, the 70th birthday. I think I can remember back that far….
I hope you have a much fun as is possible today, without the police getting involved.

An authorization late in the day on Tuesday would’ve been processed by the IRS on Wednesday. They would’ve submitted an ACH transfer request to your bank which normally takes 24 to 48 hours.. this seems like completely normal timing to me.

I still own, and can use, one of these

I thought Macroeconomics was the time-saving benefit of using a stored series of commands in excel to perform repetitive tasks.

I think it would’ve been funnier if we all had ignored this post.

Very nice. you can pretty much tell the exact year this was filmed by scanning the haircuts in the audience..

I was a bit worried. There’s a fairly off colored joke that starts with this question…

@wtg

yeah, it’s weird. I had an aunt pass away last year who I believe was the last of my relatives who was older than me. I Guess this is the price I pay for having been spoiled as the baby of the family earlier in life.

so I will be happy to be your surrogate older relative for the next few decades WTG!

I don’t want to click on the answer and find out maybe something bad about my Sudanese ancestry.

I wonder if the young generations look at our posts and write it off as geezer babbling. Most of us were in our 30s and 40s when started on PW.

You guys talked about this back then.

I actually found this a couple of days ago when looking up something else.

well, That hit me pretty hard in the feels. You’ll see conversations in that thread between me and ragtimeBG. That’s my big brother who introduced me to this crowd and he’s been dead for 16 years now. And I also loved exchanging nonsense with MarkB and of course you all know his story.

@Steve-Miller @DougG

Have either of you been in touch recently with your friends in SoCal?

yes, it’s pretty bad in the Pasadena area. The town I used to live in,La Cañada Flintridge, is completely evacuated. My best friend in Pasadena had to evacuate yesterday also. Old town Altadena is apparently pretty much wiped out. The hospital I was born in in Altadena, which has since been converted to a senior care center, burned down.

So yeah, This all feels pretty close to home.

ha. I just looked and the number is still rising..

black coffee.

usually, nothing else till afternoon at least.
