well, sumbitch. I did not know that about Alaska and Hawaii. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Yeah, born in 57 for me. Although in 1959 is was in my terrible two's “Our actions may be impeded... But there can be no impeding our intentions or our dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impeding to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” ― Marcus Aurelius | |||

Shoot, I was 12 years old when Hawaii became a state. I forgot...remind me why we wanted them in the first place? .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Yup, same here. I was 4 when Alaska and Hawaii became states. (I wonder if anyone still has a 48 star Flag?) Best regards, Mark in Michigan | |||

I was born in '65, but I have the 48 star flag that covered the casket of my grandfather who served in WW I. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

When I was born, General Motors still had a steam powered car. Technically there were only 47 states back then. Ohio didn't ratify the constitution until 1953.  | |||

48 for me too. And our house had only one phone. Rotary dial. Hung on the wall in the kitchen. When it rang, you actually wanted to know who was calling! The number was... 513-426-27XX. Drilled into me by my mother. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Not really from Vienna |
Ours was WIndsor6-2820. I still have the rotary dial phone we used. | |||
