Happy birthday to me—this is the big one: seven-zero

Happy birthday, kid. Let me tell youhow rough it was around here in the old days. Yeah; I’m 71.

Happy Birthday, Mr Quatro! May you have many more!

So tell us…

What presidents have you voted for?

What are some things that are valuable now but were cheap when you were younger you wish you had not thrown away?

When you were very young, did you know many people who were alive in the 1800’s? if so what was the oldest person you knew? What stories did they tell of the age before electricity, plumbing, and automobiles?

Happy birthday, ye Olde Pharte. Geroff my lawn!

President Lyndon B Johnson (now I wish I hadn’t)

one inch square property of Alaska in every Quaker Oats box I had several of those

My grandfather was alive then and I thought he was the richest man in the world because he had a lot of change from selling ice cream and tamales too on his table every night. He worked in the Fort Worth stockyards, but before that he was a chuck wagon cook.

My grandfather on my fathers side worked for the MKT and Santa Fe railroad and told me stories like the man that was working for the railroad walking beside the tracks and saw a snake … so he bends down to pick up a stick to hit the snake with and wound up picking up another snake instead lol

Thanks for asking and I had to take the school bus twenty miles to get to school in Waco, Texas too now that was hard to get up in the dark at least I didn’t have to ride a horse.

No. I’ve never heard that story before. Suspect someone must be playing an April Fool’s Day joke on you (me)! :smiley:

I couldn’t help myself; I fixed it to say … the big one: seven-zero.

Yar welcome.

Oh and happy belated birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mr Setenta.

Happy belated birthday wishes, ya old geezer! :smiley:
