Age doesn't matter to me, you look old enough to be legal. Arm candy to boot. Lots to lick/chew.

Just a note. 80% of the volunteer work force are Happy people over 65 and they are not crabby they are busy. Too busy for youngish ageism and gross generalizations.

One of my residents yesterday told me that it is okay for her to be forgetful because she is old. I had a good laugh with her because I am always forgetting stuff and I know my ex would back me up on that.

Now.......why did I put that roll of toilet paper in the fridge??

Maybe they just look in the mirror and see how bad they look. LOL. Or maybe it has to do with how we all selectively remember the past and only recall the good times. Old people have a lot more "good times" to recall and it makes their current lives look so bad. It doesnt help that every other day some part of the plumbing has started to fail. But you have to remember. Almost every annoying cranky old nut you come across is someone else's sweet old Grandma or Grandpa. We just arent privy to them acting nice.

Ha ha, this one time in the early morning, I was waiting for the bus, and this old woman approaches the stop. I asked her what time it was, and this I would live to regret because she used this as an excuse to initiate a very bitter rant about how her son had just moved in with a supposed whore...or at least that was the gist I got, because her Polish accent was so thick I could understand maybe one in 6-7 words she spoke. Anyway, I tried to be polite and just nodded vacantly, all the while eyeing the street and praying the bus would just come already. Then abruptly, she just spewed out, "My God, you're so ugly, no woman would even want you!" This from a fat 60 or 70 year old woman! Overcoming the initial urge to issue the natural retort, "Well you're so old, your son lives with a crack whore," I decided to walk to where I was going rather than stand for another minute of that nonsense.
