old ?......we will all be there someday if we are lucky, the opinions of most will change about older people when their time comes and some of you will also change your minds about God and Jesus the closer you get to meeting your maker..trust me on this one.

I'm already there... and am heading dowhill on the curve. But, I do not think I deserve respect for anything other than the way act... for who I am. I don't profess that I am any wiser, more experienced or more knowledgeable than anyone half my age. I understand the process can work both ways and I can learn from younger people.
Regarding religion... I am not going to choose Jesus or God... just because i'm older. I still have all of those unanswered questions in my baggage that no one has been able to shine any light on. I am not afraid of dying, because I know I will find one truth I am looking for. I think I would dishonor Jesus... specifically His teaching... if I were to accept Him, 'Just In Case' what the Roman Catholic Church decided about Him is true.
I'm of the belief that life is our personal quest. If someone's quest is to absorb as much crap that seeps into their lives through that television... that is their quest.
And yeah... I've run into a lot of old people that think they know it all... not from knowledge or wisdom... but, simply because they are old fucks.

pretty tough on older people when most do not deserve that ...
in my opinion

I have found a smile ...
really brings an elderly person to you ready to share
and you know what ...
it is enjoyable
All depends on who you attract to you on your path, a smile does wonders

This is awesome. I had a friend say nearly the same thing a few days ago and it got me thinking -- mostly because my Grandfather was a mean old mostly unhappy fella who bossed my grandmother around in their later years. But he always seemed unhappy.

My Grnadmother on the other hand, was sweet and nice and was never an asshole.

I could never understand how they acted so differently, but I saw that she aged more gracefully and accepted getting old. He was just bitter.

Ya, I'm a little jacked up today....but seriously, I hope everything gets better real soon man- Holidays and all.

Keep your head up, and like my Gma used to say, "Don't let the bastards get you down."

Most of the elderly I know read ... they can't find a damn thing they like on TV
anymore!
Actually that is running true for many age groups.

It can be a disconnect for the elderly... the world changing so and in many ways
not for the better.

Its tough to live in a world that you feel you don't belong anymore,
live in pain most days,
and can pretty much count your days.

How would you feel? Sometimes cranky?
I am amazed at the positive older people I run into considering.

Some are just happy to be here, always appreciative of beauty and love.

Reach out make an older person happy today you'll be in their shoes in no time!

my grandpa was this guy except the bossing the wife around bit. the gramps we knew was different than the gramps who raised his kids. as life does, life kicked gramps and gramdma in the ass giving grandma a big stroke knocking her out of the games early in their lives together.

then grandpa turned bitter, the grandpa we knew. and what a bitter old bastard he was. very stern and shit. you did not slam grandpa's doors. fuckin stupid shit really. a devoted catholic. grandma played the organ at 3 different churches on saturday and sunday and different events at the different churches.

grandpa taught us how to earn 50 cents by pulling weeds out of his brick sidewalk using putty knives. this was a large sidewalk and patio. we all 3 pitched our 50 cents each in to buy a pack of smokes. thanks gramps

ONCE DEVIDED

religon dosnt make people nice ive found.
catholics esp do whatever the fuck they like, then go to church say sorry. say 5 hail marys and feel fucken righteous.
not all of course, there are many lovely religous people out there. like non religous people

I remember people telling me I was shaving off 3 minutes of my life with every cigarette I smoked...
GREAT!!! You know why? Because it's the fucked up minutes at the end of my life... the Depends years with the liver spots and the dementia and the losing of the driver's privileges and the babbling to myself minutes of my life I'm shaving off. I don't want those fucking minutes.

check this out

a lady in her 60's & daughter (she has three daughters) live nearby. the mom is very religious & has disowned one of her daughters because that daughter is a wiccan. this confused gal says her daughter is a devil worshipper out in arizona where she lives.

the daughter i talk to sometimes told me that if her mom knew she was bi-sexual, her mom would up & disown her as well.

i'm like, "what the fuck?" "what's wrong with your mom?" i then said, "she is a religious fanatic, that's her problem"

1. she disowned one of her daughters because that daughter is wiccan
2. she believes marijuana is the devil's drug
3. gay people are evil (one of her daughters has to hide the fact she like women)
4. tattooed people are sinners (i'm sleeved out & get the evil eye & i must be a x-con)
5. the list goes on & on

you want amazing?

she allowed her x husband (back when they were married) to physically & mentally abuse her baby daughter (the one i'll speak with every now & again)

i told this girl that her mom is actually closer to being evil than any of you girls yet she is all over multiple churches as she is a member to several of them.























i am ready to smash my face into a concrete block
:fp:

when i was growing up i knew of a family that had sevre problems. the step dad was a child molester. the mom hid it & attended church with her head in the sand as her husband molested all four of her kids.

fucking how weak & simple can a frickin person be?

boy oh boy, she made sure the bible was in the house

F Me In The Brain

I could join you in ranting about overtly religious people and the seemingly high percentage of them that seem to be so, so fake....it is one of the things in life that bothers me the most. (My brother in law is the chief of this tribe)
Your description of this family, however, paints the picture of one fucked up lady and religious or not this lady would be a waste of life.
I would have a tough time not fucking with that lady every chance I got. Maybe go up and show her your latest tattoo or ask her if she would sign a same sex marriage petition or shit like that.
Don't believe in heaven or hell but if I did I would hope to see this woman in hell. Feel badly for her daughters on a number of fronts...

I love pot but would be OK with this if her god's drug was coke.
