Mrs. W

OK. Call me "Skippy."

Thanks!

I guess I now qualify for the "senior discount" at McDonalds.

I won't say "You're as young as you feel," because I don't want to be THAT old.

Mark

happy birthday

I'm primarily a lurker, but could not pass up saying Happy Birthday to a neighbor near I-55. I'm north of you in the "Weber Road corridor".

You know it could always be worse. You could be closer to I 80! or even worse I 88!

Personally I'm hoping to make it to I-285 (Atlanta) with some nips and tucks thrown in for good measure <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />...How cool would that be? My favorite aunt had a plaque in her house that read "Don't regret growing old, it's a privilege denied to many"...Ain't that the truth?

Mrs. W

cheyennesgrandma,

Actually, I'm only a couple miles south of I-80. I-80 and I-55, the armpit...I mean crossroads of America.

There are a few of us now in the west and SW suburbs. Perhaps we should start our own get together someplace. Of course we don't have a Big Boy near by and it isn't likely that Drew will stop in to visit, but we could probably fill a booth if nothing else.

MrsW,

My boss is 85 and still makes it to work every day. She has owned this business for over 40 years in an industry dominated by men. I tell people that she will outlive the rest of her family because she's just too tough to die and let anyone mess up her business.

Getting old isn't so bad when one considers the alternative...

Mark

Happy Birthday, Mark! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bright wishes for you, Mark, on your special day.

Thanks Katie Mae and LA...
