Time to Die?

I think its horrible if any youth has said something like that to you!! I think that everyone has something valuable to share, you just need to be with people that appreciate you and people that you have good relationships with. Most of my day is spent with kids k-5th grade (I teach and I coach), but i hang out with my daughters(they're young adults) and we have a blast. I value who they are because they're loving, God-girls, hard working, funny, cool, young adults and they value me as their Mom that loves them and loves a good dance party We have grown so much over the past 7 years since their Dad passed away. I have no idea what I would've done without them. I have lots of friends, adults of all ages, Christian and non-believers. I care about them for the people they are. I love the great conversations I have with the women in my church in their 80's. They are superstars!! God has just blessed me with this grateful , young-feeling heart, and I love Him so much. God has blessed me with happiness at my age and thru stress and tough times. Since I don't have my parents, I'm sooooo blessed to have all the older people in my church family. They are such a valuable blessing !!!

My post was referring to a culture that dismisses age and experience, not something that was said. With age has come an increasing awareness of how our culture marginalizes seniors. It is frustrating to have so much knowledge and experience to share with people who so desperately need guidance, while being dismissed as irrelevant. Again today I saw a TV commercial selling a product that will prevent people from becoming their parents. This attitude is pervasive in our culture, and I think that is for a reason. One of the easiest ways to sell degeneracy to an entire generation is to dismiss wisdom. If fact, that is a necessary first step in the process.

I say the ideal life expectancy is 25. Unfortunately I'm way past that. But I keep hoping it'll end soon. I really don't get why anybody would want to live 60 years, more-or-less the 120 the Bible says we could have.

what, but life at 26 is way better than 25! I think...Cant remember...Ive lived way beyond...

Thank you. I now realize that Giligan’s Island was a time stamped gift from your generation. Without it I probably would have just went to school instead of pretending I was sick, to stay home and hopefully witness the long awaited rescue.

Thank you @Seeker47 .

This was amusing and on point!

This last generation where my youngest grand just turned 18 had better pray and thank God if us oldies but goodies left an impression on them!

Maryanne or Ginger?

Maryanne over Ginger but if Caroline Ingalls had a sister…

While looking up how to spell Ingalls, I was just made aware that the Little House on the Prairie books were actually authored by the real Laura Ingalls Wilder about her life and family. The picture of actual Caroline Ingalls, is not as tempting. Maryanne it is! Final answer.

I would take Maryanne over Ginger too. Maryanne or Jeannie. Hmm. this may require some thought. The TV version of Caroline Ingalls was kind of hot too in a homespun kind of way whatever that means.

Jeannie, Daisy Duke, Elly May, all very “talented”.
