I meant no offense. I just loved her spunk and she surprised me.
No offense taken on my end
I even have a funny "elderly" person story to tell:
A couple of years ago I was standing in line at Safeway chatting with an elderly gentleman behind me. When it was my turn I put my stuff on the belt and went to pay. This lovely man called out "How do you stay so slim eating all that ice cream?" as the bagger was putting my stuff away.
I didn't have any ice cream. The bagger was putting away 6 boxes of Kleenex. I managed to thank him with a straight face. He made my day

I'm 69 and my mother turned 98 in October. She's eats anything and everything and weighs about 110 lbs. Everyone just loves her at the senior center where she plays bingo two days a week. Of course, they don't live with her, LOL.
PS: She's putting my sister and I into early graves chasing her around; at least she keeps us active.
PPS: My parents wouldn't let me go to Woodstock or San Francisco, but I did wear flowers in my hair.
I had no business being at Woodstock. I was 14. It was life-changing! 7 -

I am always so jealous of this! I was in California at the time, and just starting my "counter culture" phase. I didn't even know about Woodstock until the album came out!4 -

Here is my true age related story.
Even on topic with food too, so MFP appropriate LOL
My father is very slim and fit - but he has had very white hair from a relatively young age which made him look older than he was.
When he was 59, him, my mother, and another couple, all same ages, went out to dinner together.
at the end of the meal, he went up to counter to pay - without asking, the server said So, 3 adult meals and 1 seniors for you, that will be $xxx
He wasnt sure whether to be miffed she thought he was older than he was or pleased he got a cheaper meal he wasnt entitled to

I love being 70..... yippee
When I was shopping for our Christmas wine an elderly gent tapped me on the shoulder and said "you'll be needing some help with all that wine love.....I sweetly replied.....I won't need help drinking it but you can help me get it in the car if you like.8 -
My mom is 78, thus elderly.
She is being diagnosed with a rare disease like arthritis but in the muscles.
She was eating healthy and working until the week before she became ill (in a daycare).
The medication is working, so with PT I expect another 10 years of quality living our of her.
But her doc says no more gluten, eggs or dairy. So she is pissed. I’ll bet she is salty in my he grocery store now too.4 -
Poor mama, it’s ok. I will cook for her3

I just realized that when I think about "elderly", it becomes about 10 years older than my current age 6

Kudos to everyone commenting that they love the elderly. It means that one day, God willing, they'll be loving themselves.2
