Hey cool! A place for us old farts to talk! It will be nice to chat with folks of a similar age. No offense to the younger members, but there are times I just can't relate.
Thanks for this!

Lol, so now I'm a senior. That strikes me as humorous. I feel like an old relic.

If we post here does that mean we admit to being an old person?

Hannabee, I tell people that I might be getting older, but that doesn't mean I have to grow up.

I recently bought a sign for my house that says "You're never too old to live happily ever after." I love it.
Thanks for this!

Thanks Doc John!

Yes, used to I couldn't relate to older people's problems and now I can't relate to younger people's issues. I don't ever think there was any middle ground. I seemed to have skipped that.

I would like to thank Doc John, too. This forum seems like a really good idea. Now all we have to do is use it.

Yes, thanks, DocJohn! I am enjoying getting my senior discounts from some stores and restaurants. I plan to take advantage of all the perks of getting old I can to make up for the pains and other problems of aging!

Gayleggg, the problem with me is that I see young people having all the issues I had and they are not doing any better with them than I was.
I think sometimes the only cure for problems is to get old enough not to take them too serioiusly. Just don't know how old that is.
