Should us oldies really just disappear and die? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com4 months ago

I am angry and teed off and an oldie,and well I am just not going to take it anymore. my question Is it a bad thing to be an oldie here in mylot and should we just disappear and die as one,I suppose, young lady,I use that term loosely, said in her response. What is wrong with a society that thinks if you are old you need to disappear and die? I am I admit really really teed off.NOwhere in mylot rules does it say that older people are not wanted here nor does it say this is only for people of a certain age . Why then this kind of thinking?

For me I love the company of someone older. Especially here on mylot. You posses a wisdom us younger folks don't have. I don't know why anyone would say something like that to you or even think it. I was raised to respect and learn from my elders and I have passed that onto my children.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

I was also raised to respect my elders and my parents
as they respected me.I guess times do change and now
a lot of kids dont even respect their parents and
sadly their parents dont respect them either.

Hi hatley.You know what makes Mylot so special.Because here people from different countries,different religions,different cultures,different opinions and different age group discuss on the topics.And that is why a discussion gets so many different types of posts which inspires the users to start more discussions.So I think you are a very integral part of the system.By the way you have more than 14000 posts but still you have not got yourself an avatar.Why is it so??


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

hi shames I have not got an avator because somehow i seem to not'be doing something right as what I tried to get would never load.as for all our differences thats what makes mylot so special to me,I
had never really had a chance to meet so many from other countries and other cultures this is really fun.

I've gotten that kind of thinking on other sites besides mylot. I have no idea what these young folks are thinking. Perhaps they think they own the internet lol
Too bad, sometimes, that we do not know these people in real life. We could call their parents and tell them their child thinks they should not be allowed on the computer because they are old and should just fade away and die somewhere. Wonder how long the youngster would be on a computer? lol
Don't let them get to you. Just remember, one day they will be our age and someone will be telling them the same thing lol


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

hi fwidman still love those legs and shoes he he guess these
kids think they will be forever young and boy do I have
news for them. one day arthritis will hit and theyll be
the first to whine about it.


myLot reputation of 85/100. fwidman (5328)   ranked 2,248 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

Yes, they certainly will whine! lol They think they are invincible. Boy oh boy are they in for some surprises down the road lol


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

oh yes for sure they will pester their doctors
ask for a zillion meds when on would do.'like
this filipino lady thats new.the first few days'nothing'
they served satisfied her,she could not eat this 'or that'
and I just thought she was too picky.but she watched'me as'I
tested my blood sugar.come to find out she has not bothered'to
learn a thing about diabetes and is scared to death to
eat anything.the first thing I did when I learned I hAd
diabetes was to learn what were the best foods to eat.

Who said that?I'm going to spank these kids.This time I'll do it in public. ninjaMylot community is the richest and the largest internet community which has no age limits and it never will.Someone has to grow up.Don't take anything personally.Remember that even Mother Theresa had to hear offensive words in her life.You can be saint and someone can come along and say something bad about your age,race,nationality,weight,job,habits.Relax,enjoy the life.And don't look back. thumbup

I will help you spank them. Then I will make them do push ups superseted with dips until they puke at which point I will tell them I guess they are just to dang young to be strong yet. cry

hi silver and muscles you have given me the first
laugh of the day. and made me remember back in'
college I was taking building pyramids as my
physical ed, and was asked to do the forward roll
okay so I clumsily roll forward then the world goes
roung and round and I am sick to my tummy,at age 20,and cannot do another forward roll or even a somersault.the gym'teacher
was teed off but I went to the university doctor and
told him. he said some people cannot do that gym set up
as rolling forward and doing somersaults paralyzes their
diaphram, and stops them from breathing properly. he wrote
a medical note excusing me from that gym class for
medical reasons.the big reason why I love mylot is all our
diversity in ages races and everything.

Don't let it get to you. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. All I have to say is that It must be nice to be young and THINK they know everything! To all there is a season. As one person pointed out in their comment, They will be our age one day and it really isn't that far away. lol

Hi Hatley, Please don't be upset! That disgusting comment was
made by a very nasty and rude young girl who is totally
disrespectful to everyone! She has no respect for anyone of
any age, especially for herself and was dealt with accordingly
on two separate discussions and probably still hasn't learned
to keep her big stupid mouth shut yet! If she is stupid enough
to stick around here, she will continue to get what she deserves!
There are people of all ages here and mylot does not discrimate
as to age limit except I believe that you must be over the age
of 16, but even that I'm not sure about! It is very unfortunate
that in this day and age that younger people do not have respect
for us older folks! I deal with it all the time when I take the
bus or am in a store. They don't think twice about trying to knock
me down to get on the bus ahead of me! Children today have no respect,
no like we were brought up, that's for sure! I have bad knees and a
bad ankle and would still give up my seat for someone less able or
older than I am and I am no youngster myself!


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

hi opal I have had similar things happen to me whie
riding the bus. I stood up as there weren't any
sits left and hung onto the overhead strap. an old
negro man looked up at me, and got to his crippled
legs and said softly,here maam. take my seat,you
shouldnt have to stand. the younger ones just stared at us and smirked to each other. yuck that guy was older than me.

Hopefully we will all be old one day. We ought to be preparing ourselves for it by ensuring that the elderly now live in a way that we would like to live in the future. Anyone that writes off the elderly demonstrates a naivety and lack of foresight that just beggars belief. I am afraid that for many younger people they are unable to associate with being older. They will one day though!

I hear you all .yep a lot of youngsters think they will
be forever young. but wait until the first time they
get that knife like twinge in a knee and are told
they have arthritis.they will whine hey Im not
that old.

Hello again Hatley, now there's no point at all in getting yourself angry about some obviously ignorant youngster who would be probably better off going and joining a forum for other teen agers. If you don't mind talking with us younger ones then why on earth should we have a problem talking to you. In my area the youngsters are brought up to have respect for their elders and there is nothing unusual in seeing two non family members, young and old, sitting conversing over a coffee togther, teenager and wiser older man not excepted from this.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

hi thea you know I just realized a lot of times I dont'
check the ages of people I respond to. some of their
discussions seem so mature, then just for fun I check
the name and it turns out to be a boy of 19,but we
visited back and forth and seemed to enjoy each others
comments. you just never know and again I have responded
to others much closer my age. I never have worried about
ages in here, just enjoyed all our diversities.

It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when that "young one" reaches your lovely age, Mrs. Hatley, wouldn't it? I bet, if she remembers what she said, she will remember it with embarrassment and chagrin.

I hope to be even half as smart and together as you are when I am your age. You inspire me and, as I've said before, you remind me much of my beloved granny. I was quite young when my granny was my very best friend in all the world. I'll never forget her, her love, how she was loved by others and her wisdom. She was insrtumental in what I am today and I hope that she would be just a little bit proud of me.

NO, Mrs. Hatley, you shouldn't and I hope you won't "just disappear and die". I, for one, would sorely miss you! I pity the poor "young one" who has such a closed mind. I wonder what other beautiful things she is missing, in this world, as she walks through it with her nose held so high? Poor dear. She's missed out on having you as a friend, that's bad enough!


Keep em coming, ma'am! I'm so glad you're back amongst us!!!!


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

thanks irish nope Im not going to disappear and die at
all. I intend to go on mylotting for a long time. I
was so close to my grandpa and could go to him
whenever I had a problem, sometimes rather than my
parents as he was never one to judge. just a sweet
gentle man and he was my best friend. I missed him so
when he died of cancer.

i think we have a right to be here as much as anyone else. i am not the youngest but i dont really care what others think of me really. but society seems to be focused on the young and since people are living longer than ever before, there are a lot of older people around and in here.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20218)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,343 in mylot.com  4 months ago

hi cher yes indeed we do have aright to be here
and a right to be proud of our ages too. OUr
society needs to see past youth and good looks
and recognize whats inside all of us. after all
even our president is not gorgeous,he has big
ears and so what.
