:) Nobody EXPECTS “pretty” at this age—unless they’re in Hollywood; but I laugh at them more than they can scoff at me. ;)
I’ve grown to be a creature of comfort—and there’s great success in that endeavor! Hollywoodies are fighting a battle that they cannot win; and I’m playing a hand that I cannot lose.
I kept them because I might have to eventually go out somewhere without a shirt on.
Date night? Pool party? Not without ironing my skin first. ;)

Preacher is talking about enemies at the rostrum... He's fired up. Asks if anyone in the congregation doesn't have an enemy....
Everyone is silent, but a hand slips up on the third row.. Miss Annie.
The preacherman is flabbergasted, and says "Miss Annie, come up here and tell the congregation how that it is you don't have any enemies".
The geriatric crowd helps Miss Annie to her walker, and shuffles her up to the podium....
She leans into the microphone and says...
"I outlived all them bitches"...

You need to set your sites a little higher; trust me...

If people in their 30s are unhappy because they think no one will hire them due to their age, why not start a company of their own and hire. . . people in their 30s.
It seems to me there are just as much “older” as “younger” people out there. “Older” can hire “older” if they like.
Start their own business if needs be.
She sound kinda thick in the skull.
We are hiring experienced people.
I work in the electronics industry.
There are still a lot of things that I have learned that are great as I get older, like Shortcuts!!! I have honed the art of finding a way to do most things easier, and with less physical, emotional, effort.. HA!
Next, I find I have little patience for excuses, not that I don’t make my own excuses, usually I use the reason, because I am too old.. LOL
I just can not accept reasons for incompetence, when I know from experience that most people find that their dissatisfaction in life has more to do with their own refusal to do what has to be sacrificed to better their conditions.. I know that because I have used most of those reasons..
Also, I love being OLD, because I now can say anything that I want, and most people let me get away with it because he’s harmless, and just an old fool!!!
Lastly, it’s great being old, nobody expects you to do much of anything, because .. DRUM ROLL... your too OLD.. ! :)
Oh! and by the way, a lot of these young “potential” superstars have not got a clue about the “industry”
I had a 4.0 college grad ask me what solder is.
They know how to use matlab, but us old guys tell them what to use matlab for.
And quite frankly we did that stuff without crutches.

Any chance he was just joshin'?
My organization is full of twenty and thirty somethings and we can engineer the hell out of anything.
Over 70 .. Not old .. Chronologically challenged .. !
You know, when they were saying Dick Chaney had that, I wondered if it was fatal...
So far it hasn't been..
I finally got my dad out of Detroit at the age of 83...He told me one day that the apartments were full of old foggy’s. I had a laugh at that one...learned old is anyone older than you...
We can have stuff done before your old fogey ass even has time to put your orthopedic shoes on. Matlab is just one of many tools at our disposal.
Nope.
Serious as a heart attack.
Smart guy , but NO experience.
They sent him to me to learn the ropes.
Why calculate a circuit, send endless email, negotiate what needs to be done, waste a pile of time, Get planning involved, cut a new work order, to change a value on a resistor when I can slip in a pot, tweek the thing and solder down a new resistor in .5 hours?
Greenhorns!
Hey kid, I just turned 75!
