I usually <i>feel</i> much younger than what is stated on my official ID. <br /><br />Often when riding on public transportation I am moved to give my seat to a person who appears to be older than I. Then I realize that I am quite likely much older than the standing man or woman, so I keep my seat. The rest of the time I feel annoyed that people who look younger than I don't get up and give ME a seat.<br /><br />And then there are the lovely young men and women who actually stand up and offer me their seats! I am always grateful to them and to their parents, for raising them right.<br /><br />Abrazos to you and Ned, Billie.

Next time, I'm going to ask, "Well, at MY age, am I supposed to resign myself to any and all ailments?"<br /><br />al lanieralcubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667546605871850986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-25294339237680368732012-02-01T23:50:19.348-06:002012-02-01T23:50:19.348-06:00I was actually called "Gramps" the other...I was actually called "Gramps" the other day.

The ages in the group that I play poker with range from 75 (me)to 85. When I go to Bingo(seldom) I am once again the youngest and find myself deferring to the other residents. When we have dinner downstairs (also seldom) we have to weave our way around walkers and power wheel chairs. There are many good things about living in this environment but it's a whole new way of socializing!Old Man Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172060473419167697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-40834770657617800132012-02-01T12:09:28.626-06:002012-02-01T12:09:28.626-06:00Billie,

Someone relayed a compliment regarding my knowledge on a subject which included "That old guy is smart". I was not pleased!<br /><br />But, the bottom line is why not take advantage of some of the considerations given out to the more seasoned amongst us - what the heck we might consider it a trade-off for the aches and pains ;-)Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.com
