[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparent here. I'm 80. All my grandparents and one of my parents were dead by this age. I'm doing great; keep house; help out with grandkids. You've got some serious ageism going on here. Also you probably need a larger sample from which to generalize.[/quote] Isn't a sample size of 4 enough?[/quote] All you need is Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies & Uncle Joe (“he’s a movin’ kinda slow…”) on Petticoat Junction to know that old people were pretty out of it back in the 1960s. They’d been born before the Wright Brothers flew, & lived through a big depression & a passel of wars. They wore stiff leather shoes, didn’t have Gore-Tex nothin’ & used a damn road map to find places, so no wonder they were pissed off & worn out![/quote]
