-> Had a laugh this afternoon; when Steve came home for lunch, he asked "do
-> I look "that" old?".  I told him "yes, compared to the average soldier,
-> why?". So, he told me that when we went to see "Ratatoullie" yesterday,
-> they gave him a senior discount.  I guess he looked at the ticket stub
-> today and realised it.  Parts of the movie were cute, others, not so.
-> Not as full out funny as some of Pixar films are but not bad.

A friend of mine got asked if he wanted the senior discount for something
recently.  He's only 43, but his hair is more than half gray and his former
mustache was white.  The discount thing convinced him to shave it. 
Personally, I'd have taken the 10% and and said thank you, but....

I think that's when they started feeding me algebra....

->  RH> Of course.  Gotta have food in the suitcase.
-> 
-> Yes, and if it's mint or chocolate, it's a must have.

I often have an energy bar in there too; today a Genisoy tropical flavored
soy bar was lunch.  The raspberry chocolate version isn't that great, oddly
enough, but the one with mango paste on top is great.

-> 
->  RH> Yep - he was a company cook! (G)  A baker by trade, and he did end

Very much so, especially since he was once sent a load of flour, powdered
sugar, and oil instead of stew ingredients.  He made doughnnuts.(G)
