My uncle Lyle once told me many years ago he'd asked his grandfather, age 92 at the time, how old was too old for sex and grandpa Green had said, you'll have to ask someone older than me. I think me may have been pulling my uncle Lyle's leg just a tad.

Getting old has great advantages.First, the moment to realize that we realize that our environment is considering us as "old" is when our ministers and doctors are much younger than we are. What are the benefits - good lucking girls at the cash register, waitresses, and lady bus drivers are calling us "honey, darling, and sweety" and make sure that we get a comfortable seat and are as people in need of compassion and respect.

I just cracked up when I read your comment because I was thinking back to when I worked night shift in a nursing home in Iowa and doing our rounds (every 2 hours checking on everyone) walked into a room one night and there they were, he 98 and she 96 and I'll say no more. The next morning when I went in to get them up (each back in their own room) neither they nor I could stop grinning but not a word was said. Can't stop grinning about it now even...it was the "conspiracy secret".

Oh yes, I was a policeman for many years and more then once I would walk up on a car parked where it was out of the ordinary and walk away thinking to myself, "The old geezers should know better," and I'll say no more

Ha! that's easier for you to say, Country's Mama, than some of us older geezers who have to remain at attention with the aid of surgical tape and popsicle sticks.

LOL. So all those Viagra commercials are wrong? I think this whole conversation is deteriorating. How did we get on this topic anyway? :0

I wish I still HAD senior days. I'd trade any old time for these senior weeks. Heck, I've even had senior months!

By the way, photosbyhenry, have you seen how many votes your photo is getting in the WHEELS contest? I'm green with envy.
