    I had a charmed life mostly.. I chased all the material things and got them, houses, boats, cars etc. Then over time my ex and I got into caravanning, travelled everywhere and I realised I didn't want to go home to the fabulous house and all my things. I loved the simplicity of that kind of life. It was a real wake up for me that all the things I'd amassed meant nothing. Ive since simplified my life , got rid of a lot of material things. Its not the things in your life but the people that give it meaning.. a lesson I've learned.

    Can I have your stuff?!

    Sure.. if you can get it off the people I sold it too 😂

    Sometimes I go into the pharmacy and open up the bactine because it smells like my childhood.
    My Mom put that *kitten* on everything!

    When broadcast radio was a real & viable thing & everyone had a preferred radio station, I loved to hear my favorite songs come on even if I owned the recordings & could listen to them whenever. I knew that when a song came on WAPP or WNEW or WPLJ that thousands, maybe millions of other people were listening to the same thing at the same time as me and there was a kinship. It made me feel not alone.

    It’s like looking at the moon and knowing that other people are seeing the same moon. It’s a unifying experience. There aren’t too many of those lately.

    I don't like people who use race, age,sex,or anything else as a crutch or advantage.

    A few days ago an old lady tried kipping like 8 of us in line and she said she's old so she shouldn't have to wait in the line. I asked her for how Many years has she had to wait in line and she responded all my life. I said waiting in another line isn't gonna kill you and then I paid for my stuff. 😉👍🖕👵

    When you say “old lady” how old are you talking?
    I’m old, don’t expect anything from people except simple respect.
    I guess I’m thinking maybe it wasn’t her age so much as she was just a rude b****.

    I don’t like when people take advantage either. But I will make allowances for people who need it

    I'm an old lady. The day I retired I automatically went to the back of the line. I remember all too well standing in line, checking my watch nervously, deciding whether I had time to wait or whether to just drop my stuff and run to make it on time. I can't do a lot of things as well as I used to, but I've gotten really good at waiting.

    Relax people she was like 107 and I wasn't the only one who was annoyed by her. She was huffing and puffing the entire time bitching a out everything from the girl at the counter not being smart enough to ring groceries up to the guy that apparently was giving her dog evil looks . She would have talked back to me I would have purple nurpled her

    I hope I live to 100.
    I understand now why people over the age of 80 seem to have less patience for stupidity.
    It’s because they’ve seen so much of it during their lifetime and by 80 it’s enough already!

    I have a short fuse when it comes to b.s.
    Life is too short to be anything other than honest and straight forward.
    Once you notice it’s not years but decades rolling by, time becomes obviously precious.
