As a general rule, old folks, should deserved their rights as what they like it to be. Sometimes, they are not right, but their bad moods, keeps our plan for the best of our old folks in jeopardy because they could do anything to stop our good plans for them. As, saying goes, that "GIVE OLD FOLKS WHAT THEY LIKE BECAUSE THEY LIVE ONLY A FEW YEARS", so let them enjoy life to the fullest.

We dont give the the oldies what they like bcoz they are gonna live less. Its because we need to express our humanitarian nature. We would expect the same when we grow old - love, care, concern and patience from our young ones.

Dear Friend,
Thank you for the response, and you are right that love begets love.We should not deprive them of the love and care they really want.

berting600 why not let us oldsters make our own darned
plans. Just because I am 82 does not mean I do not know
what I want or what I can or cannot do. I do not need
anyone planning for me at all. you too will one day be
old and will want to be treated with respect and courtesy
the same as you would give to someone thiry two.We are no
'more moody than someone forty years younger. I dont know
where you got your conception of older folks from but it
is not true of us modern senior citizens at all.We do not
need your good plans for us, we have minds of our own, and can think for ourselves. They only live a few years, thats
complete rubbish. we are people not pets.Also that is
very patronizing as if older people are some rare breed unlike
the average person. give me a break.

Dear Friend,
Thanks for the reply. As, I told you that most older people are a beat moody to their habits as they were before. You are an exception, as you are still happy and at eased with your age.
