No, for physical reasons alone. They wouldn’t have been able to get up after all the rolling on the floor.

There are also huge disadvantages. For instances, the acronym “ROTFL.” Older people would not have created that.

Oooh, I had the same sensation when, back in my days, I was asked by some ‘real’ kids what time it was. I was probably 17 or so and felt incredibly old.

I think there are definitely advantages to children having their own watches, mobile phones or iPods to tell them the time. Brave new world.

Interesting that you think it’s okay to call women of any age ma’am, but you’re too young to be called sir? Don’t you know that we women consider ma’am the age equivalent of being called sir, and makes us feel old too? Unfortunately for you men, there is no equivalent title for miss – if you are male you get called sir, or hey you.

Perhaps your pen borrower grew up in the south, where people are taught manners and call everyone sir or ma’am. Or perhaps she was former military – again, everyone is sir or ma’am. Maybe instead of whining about feeling old you should be grateful to know that there are still young people out there with good manners But in the meantime, just in case, better get the walker.

You have no idea how many snowy hills I walked up. Actually, come to think of it, I may just have an inner ear problem that makes the world seem like it is slanted. Kansas, after all, has no hills.

Kids these days, no respect! Why, I bet when you were a more youthful 24, you knew your Ps and Qs, not to mention having to walk 20 miles, UPHILL, in the snow, to get your education so many (3) years ago. PAH!

See, I say “ma’am” a lot. I am just a gentleman, though. Chivalry is not dead.
