Contributors Of The Week 2017-04-17

 
Mon, 04/24/2017 - 11:45am

Our COW this week was nominated by a fellow POI Factory member.

This week, we’re recognizing Alandb!

Not only is he a helpful and knowledgeable forum regular, but if I’m not mistaken, today marks his 70th trip around the sun!

Happy Birthday, Alandb, and thank you for all your contributions to our community!

Wow...70

I saw that Alandb turned 70, then I read that Angela just turned 70.
Happy birthdays... that is a lot of years! smile

And Congratulations to Alandb for being a COW.

When I first saw 70 times around the sun I thought, wow that is old. But after a few seconds I remembered I have been one more time around the sun than the two of you. So, maybe you two aren't that old... smile

Mary,

I'm not quite 70... yet.
I was "quoting" Alandb writing about his impending birthday in the ChitChat thread last month.

I just ACT like I'm 70.

I grumble at people driving too fast in my neighborhood, I TiVo Antiques Roadshow, and my primary hobby is baking/cookie decorating.

Actually, I just got my first pair of progressive bifocals last weekend. I'm a bit cranky from wandering around the house bumping into things while getting used to them. I've also been doing more yoga, so now I'm finding muscles I didn't even know existed hurt.
Perhaps I am 70... wink

I have so little time at my computer now with the temporary addition to the family that I tend to read a little faster than I should.
I did laugh out loud when you said I'm not 70 ....yet...

I did a take when I read that your were 70 (by mistake). I thought ether you are using a very old photo or you have a very good plastic surgeon.
Sorry for the mistake but enjoyed your reply.

~Angela

Take this from someone who knows. Be very careful these first few weeks with progressives when you're on stairs. It's very easy to think you're at the bottom when in fact, there's one more step to go. A great way to twist an ankle...or worse. Don't ask me how I know this. rolleyes

I Won't Ask, I think I know The Answer
