    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    no no no. There is nothing nice about being grumpey and curmudgeonly, and is that even a word?! :p

    and if you do something wrong you should apologize. It's not polite otherwise.

    this is something I agree with, I was raised to say please and thank you and to show respect for elders. I don't know if it's the same way nowadays

    Same here. But it really doesn't seem that the whole respect your elders thing exists much with the younger generations anymore. But I'll be damned if I let my kids (someday) talk back or curse at me or any of that crap.
    Long time coming, it seemed to get me through.
    Long time coming, many served the few.
    And long to taste the shame, that bows down before you!

    Shame! Shame! Throw Yourself AWAY!!!!

  • I can't wait to be able to throw the candies at little kids who are trick or treating because they are making me miss my "programs"

    I can't wait to be able to yell "WE DONT WANT ANY!" at anyone who rings the doorbell...

    and I can't wait to be able to wear a housecoat all day. with black socks.

    The coolest thing about being old, to me, is their choice of meals. Only a retiree can pull off a burger, coffee, and fruit salad for lunch.
