4. I'm old and I do none of those things!

However, I've gotten more pissed off than I used to be. Just generally. Trump didn't help.

I wrote my first book in my 70s. I'm 80 now and in the midst of writing my second book.

The only person I yield my time to is my husband, who is disabled and whom I love dearly.
My grandkids live too far to just drop in and visit and I miss that.

this is my live. Well, and DU, of course.

5. Please do not be offended...but I have a problem with the O word...because I am in my mid 70s..

You used it....it is a 3 letter word...with a d... at the end and an L middle.....

I do like the word ...."mature" and I have been using it as often as I can...I just had to explain my crazy problem with the "O"
word...Please...anyone can use it anytime for any reason..But I had to at least discuss this with everyone....And I am pissed off too, and Trump hasn't helped at all. ....

6. I use it to my advantage actually. There are things I just can't do because I'm old and I just

say it when I have to. "No, I can't do that because I'm old." It stops people, actually, almost like they have to recalibrate what they are saying. Some things are just not possible because I'm old. Of course, I am also my husband's caregiver, so there's that, too. So exceptions not given to others must be carved out.

I guess that sounds selfish and in a way it is. But it is also true.

7. I hope you were not offended..sorry. ..I need to look into using it to my advantage too...thank you.

8. Oh, please don't apologize! You're just fine!

I'm just old and a little weird...

9. Well, it wasn't followed by the F word....

.... FART. So there's that.
