You Know You Are Old When

[jjeff]

Deviled eggs and Egg salad sandwiches are good to make with the dozen or so eggs after Easter, the kids colored with paas dye. I'm lost trying to just find regular egg dye you dunk an egg in with those wire holders. Unfortunately no eggs dyed this this year. Experimented over the he years my favorite is dukes mayo, mixture of sweet and dill relish , celery salt and a touch of paprika is my tastiest egg salad mixture. Snow drift, lol
Happy Easter.

We always used food coloring. I've never been much of an egg eater even though I had laying hens for 10+ years and probably will have them again. Yet deviled eggs are my favorite way to eat them.
Your recipe for egg salad sounds tastier than what I make, although I do sometimes dump a can of tiny shrimp in with it.

For me anyway, seafood mixed with eggs is one thing that doesn't appeal to me. If I know the egg salads going to get eaten in a day I do cut up onion sometimes celery. In kind of keeping with thread that's how my late mom made it, years back.

I guess you are old when you remember coloring and looking for real eggs on Easter. There were always one or two you didn’t find initially but then found a few days later after they began to smell.
Happy Easter all!

We had (eventually) 4 children and 1 black lab (that grew to a muscular 80 lbs) with a 1/8 acre fenced in lot in the back.
Easter morning egg hunts were -
I go in the back, hide hard boiled eggs the children had colored.
The children spent hours looking for eggs.
They finally give up, always seeming to miss several eggs.
Then I release Lady, the lab. She'd clean up the rest of the eggs.
In later years I'm pretty sure they left some eggs on purpose.

My last lab did similar... sort of. My hens sometimes laid eggs on the ground. He wasn't long scoffing them up.

Today everyone seems to use plastic eggs with Candy or coins inside.

Happy Easter all!

And the house smelled of vinegar from dyeing the Easter eggs. The little metal ring used to lower and lift the eggs into those old coffee cups full of dye. Memories.

I took a year off of math to pick up some other courses in grade 13. When I got back to math in college, it had changed so much that I was completely lost. I had work out all my problems with the old math and then work backwards to the new math in order to get credit for the problem. This was my first experience learning that the idiots running things often had no idea how the real world works.

When I went back to college after vietnam I failed the new math algebra. Took it again in summer school. The first section was old algebra. I made 100 on the first test. Failed the others. But. Got a D for the class which met my requirements. Trig and geometry had not changed much and was no problem.

If a contractor copped an attitude like that towards me, I'd look for another contractor. Part of being in business is being available when it's convenient for your (potential) customers.

Where do you live that good Friday is considered a holiday?

I have a few contractor friends and I was talking toone of them a couple of years ago and asked what happened to another contractor that was no longer around. His reply was that this guy was very rigid in his days off and would not go out to see jobs. He said that he used the opposite approach he tried to be available when the customers were to set it up and then he got his work crews lined up and took the time off during the week to balance it out. He focused on making it easy on his customers and then he found himself putting in less hours because he didn't have to work as hard getting the jobs.

Stock market is closed on Good Friday.

And on a lot of other government/banking holidays that most people do not take off.
