    I'm definitely OLD when I tell young folks that I use to: Order things from Buy Cards. Type out purchase orders on an electric typewriter. Do inventory control on 3 x 5 cards. Use UPS and Fed X Books for shipping. Write out Bills of Lading for shipping by freight. Drove a propane forklift. That my first car was a 1956 Chevy Bel Aire. That I graduated high school in 1968 and joined the Navy right before graduation.

    On the other-hand, I'm just a kid when talking to someone who is 90 years old.

    We're old when we bend down to pick up something from the floor & ask, "Is there anything else I need while I'm down here?

    My sister said yesterday that we know we are old when our main topic of conversation is our bowel habits. :D Tru dat. :) That's what we were talking about. :)
