The reporters & anchors make me sick. This just further affirms my decision to live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse.

The amount of disrespect and dismissal foisted on this lady by the news team infuriates me, but seems typical of today’s ‘selfie’ generation. I love that she doesn’t give a shit.
My grandma made it a decade short of where this lady is now and I’d give anything to be able to have a conversation over coffee with her now…she only went to the eighth grade, but she was a voracious reader, could logically discuss current events with anyone and she kept all her marbles until the end.
I wish I asked her things like ‘Grandma, what was it like during the first world war, I know you were only a girl, but what do you remember?’ ‘Grandma what was it like when Hitler came to power and the second world war?’ ‘Tell me about what it was like going from oil lamps to electricity and what it was like to go from the outhouse to indoor plumbing’…and the biggest question I have…’Grandma, what’s going on right now, with the governments, and war and the economies, is this like when you were young or any other time you can remember?’
The older I get, the more I regret not spending more weekend afternoons driving out to where she was and having coffee and conversation. I’m working on that with my father…I should talk with him while I still can.

Too funny. I was going to make a similar smartass comment, but I can’t top that.

Age does tend to lead to an attitude of, “Why should I give a shit what you think?” A fair amount of my time is spent at laughing–and often, sneering–at the ignorance of young folks who are only fifty or sixty. It’s not so much ignorance as ignorance; it’s the willful ignorance, a refusal to learn.
I don’t see myself as any sort of guru or “font of wisdom”. But I’ve learned enough from my screw-ups in early years and from observations of people around the world to feel that I have a fair handle on how things work, and why things happen.
An advantage of being an Olde Phart is that I have time to browse through websites like this one and a dozen more and keep on learning. I may be old, but I’m not about to give up and quit. 🙂
Ah, well. Back to the important things, like a sip or two of Knob Creek Maple. 🙂

What the fuck is wrong with these people? She isn’t a fucking zoo animal! No respect at all. Did they even ask her if she wanted to participate?

Help! I just want to die.
I wish Dr. Kervorkian were still alive. Can someone come and smother me with a pillow?
I’m ready to go.

We’ll get our best pillow man right on that ASAP. At the moment he’s taking a few days off for well-earned R&R in TX after another job…

Imagine this old gal’s reaction to gender-neutral restrooms. Probably carries an antique rolling pin around in her granny-sized carryall pocketbook so she can editorialize ’em right in the kisser.
Exciting; kept me on the edge of my set.
