I think we senior people need each other .Who understands us better than one of our own.

We have problems with relationships, with family, friends. We feel depressed and lonely, so if we have another caring person to spill it all out to, maybe it will help.

I tell you what makes me ticked off. When I go to a store and the girl on the till calls me dear, I feel like I'm about ninety years old. I guess she is just trying to be nice, well it might make her feel better but I hate it.

And how about when the family starts to make your decisions for you. You've been doing it for seventy years and all at once you've turned into an idiot who can't run her own life. In my humble opinion this is abuse. Another well meaning child to help make you a non-person.

Age is relative anyway. I think 50 is young now and 80 is not so old .Just because we may think a "mouse", is a rodent and a "byte" is something a dog does, it doesn't mean we are completely out of step with reality.

I'm not a trained physiologist but I like to listen and not give advice unless asked for it. So please feel free to visit my site and complain or tell you pet peeves, Perhaps we can make our lives a little brighter by enjoying each other,because we have wisdom and courage and determination, We learned it all in The School Of Hard Knocks, didn't we..

I had a little shock last week that made me believe it may be later that I think. We went to the funeral home to visit with the family of "one who had gone before".

As soon as the funeral director saw us he flew out and greeted us like long lost friends. When he asked me how I was feeling I got really nervous. Actually not long before this we met a different funeral director, one we knew slightly, down town and he did the same thing.

So here we are the preferred customers of funeral directors--potential customers for the big box.. Well we have to laugh about this because I have news for them. Be the Good Lord willing I'll be around for a long while yet. How about you?

Please let me hear from you, only you can set me straight on this crooked path.
