oldsters.

Good recipes from old people are a good thing. Good recipes from young
people are also a good thing.

Chicken deserve good benefits. Family leave after laying eggs, plenty
of clean bugs to eat, holidays off.

Thankfully, most of them went quickly, which is better than following
Sheldon's walk down the path of dementia.

the right?

That can't be the same Dave Smith who is still posting, that pic is of
what appears to be a 70 year old man that's been there some 20 years,
by now whoever that is would be way too old to be playing pickleball,
bike riding all over, and all the other activities he claims and that
dog would be long gone... in fact after 20 years that Dave Smith would
be pushing up daisies too.

I've already posted recent pictures of myself... some know it because
they've reposted photoshopped copies, The dwarf's RFC pic looks like
it's from high school, now he's older than RFC. I saved the dwarf's
food bank pic where he's a 70+ year old fat man.

Just about all the RFC Mug pics are much younger versions of
themselves, I'm positive that they no longer look like those pics.

Thing is none of the recent (noobie) RFC posters have ever posted a
pic, they're too ascared.

None has seen Bruthe either.

Well Popeye, yoose picture can't be recent either. Yoose 'bout 80 now.

Druce looks just like a dutch jebus christ. So he don't need to put
up a pic.
