Chess for Oldtimers --- Good Idea !

Thanks for the post.

A funny item about getting older: " You remember when the only special effect needed to make a blockbuster movie was a twenty-five foot mechanical shark. "

I always like the Popcorn machine had great special effects!

i think the fake butter is still a special effect.

Thanks for the posts.

Your bill is in the mail.

A cute item ( but still a bit sad ? ): You've been practicing " Welcome to Wal-Mart " as your backup retirement plan.

   ---   Sorry I'm on pension, I'll have to charge it  lol.

I hope that hasn't been *Rolled-back*

you can't touch a railroad pension.

Did you really work for the railroad?  Did you really get up early in the morning and work all day long?   Also, who was Dinah?

Thanks for the recent posts.

In my case I did indeed spend a long time on a railway, just over 29 years in all, sometimes on the dayshift, sometimes on the evening shift and sometimes on midnights. The name of the railway ? Well the late great Hank Snow once sang a song about my little old railway ( that was entitled " Canadian Pacific " ). As for Dinah blowing the horn I think that she must have been related to the engineer if they allowed her to do that  lol.  

Good Heavens Bishop you managed to find an interesting picture to post ! Mind you I never did work as a gandy-dancer or do any serious track-repairs. However in my early years working as a Hostler we did have to keep a spike-hammer and a spike-puller handy to properly lineup any damaged switches ( to keep from derailing any locomotives ).   

Wow, that’s a ‘new’ occupation on me!

Are there any of those guys around that could work on some threads here?

Thanks for the posts.

Found a cute item earlier: " You could do crossword puzzles twice as fast if you could remember half of what you used to know. " 

Kind of a funny item about aging: " You're not getting older, you're getting bitter ".  

A funny item to show the passage of time: They played " Wild Thing", " Mellow Yellow " as well as " Doo Wah Diddy Diddy " at your prom.
