Old people are pretty cool. I put a tiny piece of a sticky part of a post-it note on a co worker's mouse, over the optical, and it drove him nuts until he finally figured out to turn his mouse over (physically) and look at the bottom of it.
Mayhem ensued. After he even called IT and said he needed a new mouse. IT told him to turn it over and see if the red light was on.
That's a neat trick. The mouse is fine, just remove the paper thing blocking the optical.
And don't mess with old people. They'll get even. LOL!

Turning 100 on Thanksgiving Day, Weymouth centenarian is thankful for a 'full house'
"WEYMOUTH − Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for what we have and, every five to 10 years, Lorraine Musico has an extra special reason to be grateful: her birthday."
"The holiday falls on her big day − Nov. 24 − with some regularity, and this year she'll mark her biggest milestone yet: turning 100 on Thanksgiving."
"It's going to be a full house," she said with a smile, looking forward to seeing her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, one coming from across the country, at her son's home in Plymouth." (Read More)

I was born on the same day as the Queen.
Hilda Price was invited to read a prayer at St Paul's Cathedral to mark the Queen's 90th birthday
"I was stood in a crowd and I had a notice on me, saying 'I am born on the same day as the Queen - 21 April 1926'," said Hilda Price, originally from Carmarthen.
Mrs Price described the Queen going over to her, excited to find someone sharing her birthday: "That was a wonderful day, I couldn't believe she had spoken to me.
"It struck me how ordinary she was when she spoke to us, it was just as if I was a next door neighbour to her. I expected far more poshness - she was lovely."

Old people are really cool. I am only 55 years old and really don't consider myself in that same class of cool as the older generation such as my mom and dad. They are real hipsters and with it. I still learn things from each of them each day. The older people are people we all should listen to.

And of course those pay toilets resulted in Scottish Limbo dancing, under the locked door. Aye, tight with a penny those fellas are, by gum. JimB.

This guy has a real good gig, being the style icon for one of Toronto's largest shopping malls. He has a contract that would make your eyes water. He is also featured in some Hudson's Bay Christmas TV commercials this year. I think he looks good, as an alternative to the traditional Santa look. JimB.How old is Santa Claus?

We are cool. We skateboarded without being suited up like astronauts on a spacewalk, we caught and survived chickenpox, rode bikes without helmets and pads, played in dirt and mud, didn't care too much about TV shows but we sure loved the radio with all the new songs, had those clamp-on metal skates on our shoes, and most of all, back when I was growing up --- this only pertains to me --- my best friends were my parents.

"It has been an emotional couple of days for Harrison Ford. In Cannes for the release of his latest, and by all accounts last, Indiana Jones film, the actor has been moved on several occasions as he waves goodbye to the character he has played since 1981."

I hope he stops flying his aircraft too, after a number of "close calls " in the past couple of years. JimB.

In my mid-eighties, I domesticated a stray calico cat that I had been hunting gophers in our garden. Eventually she became a member of my Boxer pack, and then she had unexpectedly a litter under my bed. I tried to keep my cool. But when the kitties grew up and started turning my bedroom into a play house, then I unloaded the whole bunch to a friend of my daughter who lives with the cat family happily ever after.
