My grandfather‘s first wife died of the Spanish flu in 1918. Grandfather had three boys to raise. He married my grandmother. She was 25 years younger than he was and only a few years older than the boys. They later had two daughters. One of which was my mother.
Grandfather died in 1968. He was buried next to his first wife. Grandmother died in 1984 she was buried in the same plot. They all three share the same tombstone. Weird? that’s just how things worked.
No 80 year old said that. Without taking a nap.
I didn’t write it. It was sent to my wife by a friend.
Hahaha
You are bullshit. I am 81 and I agree 110% with this gentleman. Get a life snowflake. MAGA!!!!!
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Agree with you and the sentiments put forth by the 80yo man.
I am also 80, still working ‘real work’ and most bent out of shape by the antics of Pelosi, Biden, HRC, Bernie, Lieawatha and the other so called ‘Senior’ leaders.
Those clowns have the rest of the world convinced that ANYONE over 70 has to be a used up hag without a lick of common sense or any intelligence.
Thanks. I took the last two lines to share on FB.
Good post
You NEWBIES should show a little respect to your ‘elders’ <: <: <:
Hey, I called him Pops. That’s respectful.
Dammit. I was going to say that.
People should remember that not all 80 + year old people are like “Mr Dementia Patient of The Year”...joe “Who am I?” biden.
More reasons why they were/are the greatest generation!

80 is not the GG. That is the Silent Generation. Born too late for WWII, and were ineffective for the rest of their lives.
What in the world do you mean by that comment?? Are you suggesting that anyone born in the 1944= contributed nothing to society?
I've read your nasty comments on this thread and you are not funny, clever, nor intelligent. As a matter of fact, you sound like a VERY grumpy over 80 year old, or a snot nosed 12 year old. In your second childhood, are you?
And no, I'm not 80; not older than that either.
Some people are VERY HEALTHY, both mentaly and physically when they're 100. Some, like you, just don't cut it, at any age.
As a stand alone sentence yes.
But your body language(previous responses) shows much disrespect, which begs the question, is it necessary to be such a Schiff head?
Agree ....but it is not the kids fault ..It is the parents...they do not let the kids have any freedom....and they give them everything.....and are afraid to discipline them...plus there are to many single parents...
In the 1940s most kids lived on a farm or were poor in the city...
Kids started working when they were in third grade and younger if you lived on a farm...
We had paper routes in fifth and six grades...mowed lawns ....state labor laws do not help...
“Those clowns have the rest of the world convinced that ANYONE over 70 has to be a used up hag without a lick of common sense or any intelligence”
Yes and those same clowns have two almost 80 year-olds running for president.
I’m just 80 and think age in years is not as important as mental acuity and energy. Many 60 year-olds don’t have either.
So? I met a 40-year-old Karen, who said that we should eat raw cookie dough and rotten hamburger. She is covered with tattoos, goes to bars for one night stands to catch venereal diseases on purpose, tries to OD on all kinds of drugs and says, “Just the flu, bro!”
Oh...forgot. She’s also on a keto diet and eats a whole ham for lunch before going for a drive on the highway to text her friends and complain to managers about employees wearing gloves and making her panic.
