Greetings, Sunny!

I, too, remember those good ole' day's of Rock & Roll of the 60's. That young lady should be introduced to some of our music from back then. We lived in the greatest time of Rock & Roll. I will always love that music. It will never grow old for me. I'm always looking for my reading glasses. I forget where I put them. Guess I should keep them where I know where they are . . . on my face! Then I won't have that problem. LOL!

Stay well.

Hi Sunny~
Thanks for your visit and very true comment.:)
I sure could relate to your earlier post about looking for your glasses. In addition to looking, I'm always patting my head or my chest to see of they're on top of my head or tucked into my shirt/top. I must look ridiculous!

Too funny!

64 here Sunny and I so enjoyed your little experience with that silly young girl...it's the little things that make us so aware...hey I'm in my 60's.

I can understand how you feel -- clerks no longer ask if I qualify for the senior discount. And on a musical note, our local Kroger store plays Big Band music on Senior Discount Days. I for one appreciate that.

Isn't Life Priceless? those everyday, unexpected moments that take us Up and then down. I loved this story. On Sept 5th I will be Medicare Age, 65. I can relate. thanks for the morning laugh. Turn those moments into humor and Live Life. You have a true gift for story telling.

I love coming in here in the morning, you always make me smile!

Dont listen to young people like that. If she was very young I guess she thinks 40 is really ooooooold!! ;o)

Oh, what can we do?

I always say, "I don't care what you say, I know I look good for a woman who is 95!" That always gets a shocked look and then they laugh. I hope you still found joy in the day even though that munchkin attempted to rain on your parade!

Ah Sunny I know how you feel. I rage inside when the bus driver accepts my senior citizen bus pass without throwing his arms in the air and shouting "how dare you pass yourself off as a pensioner!" Anyway, I am not getting older, its just that everyone else is getting younger.

As I tried to stay up late enough to watch the History Channel's special on Woodstock last night (yes, I did go to "music" festivals back then) and before I caved in and turned off the light, I was transported back to a time when our music was THE music and our parents thought it was loud and disgusting. We listen to all kinds of stuff now, from classical to "oldies" but "Only You" only reminds me of girlfriends as does most anything by Frankie Valle. Senior Citizen discounts just do not seem to fit. Ever. And we've gotten some at movies without asking or seeking. Disgusting! I can get really nostalgic if I hear the song Johnny Angel, but that does take us back a few years. I like your blog and thank you so much for visiting Tampa Bay Daily Photo. Please visit Tampa Daily Photo for my regular, City Daily Photo posting...and more normal photos and ramblings.

Oh how I wish for the good old days when it was OK to feel offended for "looking 70". Enjoy your indignation.
Now me, since I am 70 and look 80, I am so very flattered when they tell me that. It is all a matter of perspective.
To that sweet young thing, anything over 40 probably qualified for senior citizen.

2009-08-18T17:22:35.263-04:00

Sorry, but that is so funny! She was just a younster/right?
Anyway,,I find myself singing Oh What A Beautiful Morning, when I am mowing, and I really mean it! Life Is Good!

That clerk needs to meet Aretha Franklin and get a course in RESPECT.
Her attitude needs a proper adjustment. I bet her "ancient" grandmother would have a word or two for her.

Cheer up. You are still young with excellent musical taste.

Oh, gosh...! You should have boxed her ears...! What are they going to do -- arrest a senior citizen?

You DO NOT look your age. You look more than a decade younger.

I hope you have a better day today. :-)
