    If you happen to come across any 2020 Canadian pennies hang on to them, they are collectors items.

    When enough coins are in the jar, you take it to a coin star machine.

    Why would anyone take their change to a Star machine? Unless their super lazy. 30% to give me paper money , not in this lifetime
    I'm old when I can't roll my own change LOL

    Yikes, you have to pay to roll the coins with those machines? Our credit union does it for free.

    You know you are old when, You have to leave work early, to go home and have a randevu with your wife. And you can't remember the last one you had!

    Nope, I will always be able to get into my pickup. Beyond that, what do you even need.

    You remember these two great LIES: With nuclear energy, electricity will be too cheap to meter. With computers, we wouldn't be needing paper.

    You know you need suspenders and hearing aides, but are too stubborn. So you can't hear your wife telling you to pull up your pants.

    Simple case of too much belly, or no assatol. It's the latter for me

    Well sonny I remember the corona virus scare of 2020. We all learned to bow and curtsy to keep our social distance. I bought that big bandsaw for four cases of toilet paper and a half bottle of clorox. We had to use wheelbarrows to bring rolls of toilet paper as payment when we went shopping.

    One of them has already happened. The other is up to the utilities to consent to (that's the real issue, and something's gotta be in it for them. What do you suggest?)

    An attempt of mine to reduce the amount of paper used in my previous situation was taken on by management and due to their inability at understanding the purpose resulted in using three times more paper to do the record keeping. (now that is a run on sentence)

    There is always someone to take on a simple task and make it in to a colossal display or ineptitude.

    If you can understand that or have seen it happen, you know you are getting old.
