    Elderly, senior citizens, even wrinklies, they're the ones who've achieved what others can only hope for - long life.
    When you get there it becomes useful - discounts on everything, seats in crowded places, the best parking spots, and you don't need to please anyone but yourself. 😁

    Do you think self-absorption is confined to a particular age group?
    I don't.

    No, but you clearly think it’s more acceptable as you get older.

    No, you wouldn't, or you wouldn't be so cranky.

    We always think back to the old days. I liked what you had to say by the way.

    The world has changed so much since I was a teenager. I don't know that things will ever be the same again.

    Nothing we can do so just sit back relax and drink what ever beverage you have. Try and enjoy your golden years as best you can.

    Off with you then. Better get busy enjoying what time you have left.

    Andy what anyone thinks doesn't really matter if you want to go there.

    Keep in mind everyone is allowed to have a different opinion. Rather people agree or don't agree.

    Whether.

    Suzie Q, Do you understand even though you are younger than me and a bit of spoiled brat I could actually out live you?
