    They've had more time than me, more life-time, so if we all die tomorrow, they've won the actual "time" alive lottery

    I appreciate their recipes for comfort food.

    I like how they actually listen and make eye contact.

    It's a shame the female oldsters still feel compelled to wear pantyhose under their slacks for the sake of propriety

    I'm glad they keep newspapers still made of paper purchasable.


    My grandma wore pantyhose under her jeans. Gotta say, I do love how they smooth out all the lumps.

    I love the oldies, the stories they tell, the sass they bring. I should call my grandma now .

    I am that old person.

    I am the oldest person at my work.

    I am the oldest biker in my group.

    I have two family members that are older than me.

    The reality is, most older people don't care what the younger generation thinks about them.

    My husband is older by 9 years. He's cool, I like him.

    Wonder what someone younger would say about me as I get older? I hope my 1 month old grandson thinks I am cool older person one day.

    I crossed the 30 year threshold this past year, and as an ignorant rebellious young person I assumed they were all old fogies. Now I see how experience can mean they're much more awesome than I once thought.

    Also I think really old people are the most adorable thing on the planet! I want to squeeze them all! We(me and husband and kids) volunteer at nursing homes, and my heart just wants to explode I love them so much!

    Pretty much what I think of people younger than me. Sometimes they alarm me and sometimes they impress me.

    I’m 70 yo,
    My aqua aerobics instructor is 94.
    She prepares taxes, is an artist with pottery and plays bridge.

    I have friends older than me that travel, take cruises and do lot more than I do.

    I’m jealous.
