Posted: 1/23/09 at 7:01pmI get all those discounts and now that I've stopped coloring my hair, I get respect from the younger folks.

Posted: 1/23/09 at 7:07pmNot to mention the fact that we "seniors" lived through the greatest era of entertainment. Everyone(thing) today just pales by comparison to what we saw!

Well this isn't exactly the same thing, but a few years ago, my friend Jacqui and I went to see Soundgarden. We made the mistake of going down on the floor. We were like "aaah! get us out of here" and Jacqui goes, "This is ridiculous!" and something about how it never used to happen at concerts or something. And this kid goes "You didn't have bands like SOUNDGARDEN back then" And Jacqui goes "Yeah, we only had bands like Led Zepplin"
Which was funny because we were way too young to have seen Zepplin.

Roxy, no one could be an "old fart like you". You were the one who wrote the cookbook with all those recipes for locusts and wild honey.
Besides, I still have my looks. Where did yours go?

Posted: 1/23/09 at 9:03pmI hate senior citizens. Always driving slow, slowing down traffic.

Excuse me, not ALL of us are slow drivers. Roxy is, of course, because he got his learner's permit while he was driving a chariot for Ben Hur.
On the other hand, I got another speeding ticket last weekend as I was racing to the last performance of GYPSY.

Well, racing or not, you still would have been a week late, as Gypsy closed two weekends ago on the 11th.
Senior moment? Senility setting in? 
#9re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:10pmWell, by 'racing,' he means 'hobbling along at top speed.' It took a week longer than expected to get there, poor thing. The ticket was for assailing a police officer with a walker.

Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:13pmI would think all the senior citizens would be in bed by now.

Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:20pmI hate people who hate the elderly.

I know all jests on this thread are well-intentioned, but I strongly council everyone to watch it with the age comments. You were either that young (and ______) or you're soon to be that old (and ______).
And seriously, my dearest friends at the moment range from 21 to
60 something. And each end of that spectrum has so much that I treasure.

Most people hope to be old one day, so I don't get why anyone would hate...
Unless you mean my goofy post, in which case I'm sorry.

Naw, the cop was kind of cute. I was flirting with him like crazy.
And the production of GYPSY I was speeding to was the community theater version starring Mabel Krebs out here on Long Island. It was quite good, actually.
#16re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:39pmI also council everyone not to try to outsmart Dollypop.
#17re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:41pmMessage to those who have no patience with the elderly-if you're LUCKY enough to live that long, you too will reach that stage in life and then you too will be one of those people whom no one has any use for.

Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:43pmAre you referring to Mr. Roxy or Pati B (that's how she's known to her theater pals)

"As regards Jane--you're all on your own."
what do you mean I"m all on my own?
#21re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 10:49pmThis whole thread confuses me, but maybe I'm just not old enough to understand it.

No, no, Jane. I was (unnecessarily) standing up for our older friends. But you, I know, are perfectly able to take care of yourself.
I'd back you against pretty much anybody.
The "you" in "you're on your own" was anyone foolish enough to, as the young'uns say, throw down with you.
#23re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 11:00pmBTW, in case anyone's picturing me as a geriatric, I'm not as old as you think.
#24re: I Love Being a Senior Citzen
Posted: 1/23/09 at 11:01pmI saw that picture of yourself that you posted on one of the threads, and I don't think you look old at all (oh, and I love your hair, by the way).
