No, that makes you “experienced”, well versed” and “wise”. Has the idea that stroke typically happens as we enter out golden years been explored in the forum? Half my problem is stroke, the other half is coming to terms with the fact that yes, im old now. Good grief, thats a lot to digest.

I think if we did a survey nearly half of us here could be considered young for stroke. Probably because the younger you are the more likely you are to join an online forum.
I got all of them. I don’t believe either granny(born approx 1900) would have had a filofax.

Kinda most of them my gran had the same bakealite radio from as far back as I cared to remember like her always there until she was gone. One thing she never had was a phone or rolladex and never ever wanted or needed them.
Spent her last years alone after grandad died but as tough as old boots in fact tougher fell in church broke her leg and hip- in hospital was offered a zimmer and told the unlucky consultant what to do with it. Still miss her sometimes nearly 40 years later.

I reckon the bonus picture was a bacon slicer. It could be used to slice a roast joint of beef, lamb, ham as well.
A girl in the laboratory I worked in was operating one of those mechanical calculators in the sixties. Log tables and slide rules were more my thing. Computers were huge and occupied whole buildings and programming was performed using punched cards.
More recently (thirty or forty years ago) a Filofax kept a record of my journeys, expenses, contacts and appointments. It went with me everywhere.

I got more than 11, Ann. I’m much older than you I think. But, thankfully I missed a few.
Thanks, Gnasher. That was fun!

I got them all, except the calculator. Thought the mystery photo might be a bread slicer.
