: Since Bill brought it up:

: : "I might also point out (to the SYMT's) his view on the elderly!!"

: If I may get a leetle serious for a bit: I found his comments about senility being a social disease just plain revelation. I'd never thought about it that way, and it strikes a really clear chord.

: Myrrh

I would have to also agree with that. Not that there are scads of youngsters at my feet listening to my pearls of wisdom and life experiences you understand.....but in the sense that we feel like we are making a contribution....we continue to live. If life is interesting....and we determine whether it is or not...life continues to be precious. We continue to go on. If we stagnate.....eventually we die of boredom!! Don't EVER make any man your whole life girls! So many of the elderly, once losing their man, have NOTHING. That was their whole life. So they just sit around and wait to pass on. You girls make darn sure you have a life of your OWN with interests of your own, that you SHARE with your mate. I think, from the posts I have seen here on the board, I am preaching to the choir here....you darn women are certainly anything but dull or "Stepford Wives"!
