Do you have an elderly person in your life whom you love, but drives you nuts...? especially when going to the grocery store? I do!
That is wonderful. That young lady will learn a lot from her. It will be a good experience for both. My time spent with my LOL’s was a good experience. People of that age have a great deal of wisdom about life.
I am neutral on your article, but if that is a picture of you on your website I find you very attractive:) Your writing is ok, but not my type of humor. It is well written but for some reason I didn’t find it particularly funny nor did I find it offensive as a couple of FReepers have.
Thank you for the compliment, yes that is me, that pic was taken last summer. I understand my type of humor is not for everyone. You’re unusual that you are neutral. Most either love or hate me! I see the “winning” articles on HumorPress.com and a lot of times, I don’t find those writers funny, at all, yet they keep winning. I have to be true to myself, and write in the style that is me. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Made me chuckle. I’m *only* 69, but I can foresee being this LoL. I do hope there is some nice young(er) woman who will put up with me, then.
I already need to go to 3 different grocery stores either because of price, quality or some item only stocked in one place. Yes, I am picky about produce. It is expensive. I want it to have nutrition and to last as long as possible. We old folks don’t eat a lot at one sitting and hate to throw anything out. I also have one of those purses with a multitude of pockets. It beats digging through all my other stuff to find the important things. It becomes more and more difficult remembering which pocket holds what. I do walk quickly, still, but those monthly marathon shopping trips are already becoming exhausting. That is why I do them once a month.
I’m happy to hear that busy young(er) women appreciate good cooking. I’m pretty sure that will be my major form of repayment when my last days are here, as well.
Aww, you are so sweet! I hope that people took the humor from this article and did not take it as “hating” older people. It was just a realistic look at being with the elderly. I say things most people think, but won’t say.
I love my Little Old Ladies, I truly do. I have gotten them flowers, candy, and cards on their birthdays, have cried when they are sad, have listened when they are upset, and have comforted them when they needed it. I love my experiences with the elderly and wouldn’t trade it for anything!
I appreciate your reading and commenting. This was not mean spirited, as some have thought. Like I said, I write what people are thinking but wont’ say. Still love you, though!
