Do you accept or resist old age?

[Mr. Ed]

Do you accept or resist old age? Neither, I am paying for my old age.​

oooh no..I still look good naked...

The recent hot spell had me feeling sweaty, so, I cooled off under a shower. Just as I was towelling myself dry my lady brought me a cold glass of orange juice. "It's so hot," I said, "I thought of mowing the grass naked." Thanking her for the cold drink, I said: I wonder what the neighbours would say?" Never one to miss a chance, the lady replied: "They probably think that I married you for your money!"

...Kudos to your smart and dapper attire, even down to the summer shoes!
It's a shame that no one dresses well these days. Sadly, dressing nicely has mirrored the steady decay of society.

Thank you for such a kind compliment, much appreciated.

I've seen people at weddings and funerals dressed like they just took a break from mowing the lawn!.. When I grew up in the '40s and '50s, men were still wearing jackets and ties to pro baseball games! When people went to town, they dressed up a little. I'm old school. I still wear a decent shirt and slacks when I go to WalMart... At a nice restaurant, it still causes me to internally raise an eyebrow when I see someone sitting at a table with a wrinkled T-shirt and flip-flops.

If the concept of respect ever comes back, people will start dressing better.

Super cool, HC.

Super cool eh, that's a lovely compliment, thank you. My eyes are sunlight sensitive, it's a condition known as ultraviolet keratitis, in order to protect them my glasses have a feature called Transition lenses, they are also known as photochromic lenses, a type of lens that are designed to automatically darken in response to UV light exposure and revert to a clear state indoors or in low UV light conditions.
The sunglasses in this photo are not photochromic, but have been very effective to the recent sunshine. My wife dubbed these sun glasses: "Joe Cool!" "Wear your Joe Cool's," she will say. It always makes me smile.

They call us "The Elderly"
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 50-60-70’s
We got married and discovered the world in the 60- 70-80’s
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
