Thanks for stopping by Darrell, We're all geting older but the question is "is there anybody out there like me, older than dirt?". I took the quizz and found out that I'd used 17 of these items in my early years of life . Ieven remember using a horse drawn plow and disk to work the fields.

Good to know I'm not older than dirt yet. I remembered very few of those. I'd been told about a lot of them, but hadn't experienced them personally.
