Hmmm, I came up with that ridiculously high number so as not to insult anyone.

It's like this magazine back in Serbia, it said it's "for anyone from 7 to 77." They recently changed it to "for anyone from 7 to 107", cause I guess, 78 year olds can still read.

You know, I work sometimes in Nursing Homes here in Florida, and I've come across quite a few 103 yr olds who weren't a bit senile - they're usually deaf as a post, mind you, but completely right-minded. It almost seems that if you can get past a certain age you won't be senile (Alzheimer's). Most of what I've seen past 92 or so aren't senile at all. Most of the worst Alzheimer's seems to be in those 70's to 80's. I don't know the reasons, just my observations.

I don't think these underage are *that* interested in joining our conversation. We old people are too boring for these new generation. Anyhoo, we can always spank the naughty ones...

Try me.

I don't think this is doing much anything, and I can't explain the strange smile on his face.

How was this thread suddenly bumped?

RLacey · 07-25-2006, 05:24 AM

Someone must have voted in the poll

.

Sage · 07-25-2006, 07:38 AM

I'd like to know who our mad poll voter is. I suppose they're trying to illustrate the point that everyone should include a close date when they post polls.
It must be a kid.

Fairygdmther · 07-25-2006, 08:02 AM

At the bottom, it says the poll is closed, though.

It could be that some moderator came in stealthily and closed the poll after the thread popped back up.

Spiwak · 07-25-2006, 08:51 AM

I noticed that the poll was closed too. I figured that happened, as mel said, after the fact.

You bumped it retroactively, fool! Never play with that space-time warper again!

The poll was closed after it was bumped.

Move along people, there's nothing to see here...
