5 Things Old People Have To Stop Telling Me


oldpeople.bmp


Hello friends, it's been a while, but here's my newest thoughts written down, I present to you, five things old people have to stop telling me:


"Stop going through my medicine cabinet."


I can't help it! With all your trips to Canada to load up on cheap medication, you come away with a bounty unparallel from the great white north since the French came away with all those beaver pellets.


"Kids have to start hiking up their pants, they look stupid."


In the Constitution I would write, kids will have to start pulling up their pants as soon as old people stop wearing the things they call shorts (and what anybody under the age of 35 might call hot pants). Here's the deal, you have to see the crack of 25 year olds as long as they have to see the vericose veins running up and down your legs. I get that you were voted prettiest girl in 9th grade in 1934, but it's time to face your age, Muriel.


"Movies aren't as good as they used to be."


Your chance of hearing this come from the geriatric population is most likely to occur after a trailer for the newest comedy hack piece. True, there are a fair share of crappy movies being churned out these days, there are more "talkies" these days which means that there will be more bad movies released; but get this, it means more good movies can too. Movies are as good or as bad as they have been since you were blown away by that darling young man in the black face, Al Jolson.


"They don't let me go outside at the senior home you insisted I live in."


Yeah, well, whatever. You wouldn't get me that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Turtle Party Wagon" that I so desperately wanted when I was 5, so prepare to suffer the consequence that is your low security old people prison. This might seem unnecessarily harsh to my readership, but all I had was the "Technodrome," the lair of Shredder and Krang. Who buys a kid a means of transportation for the bad guys and then on the other hand refuses to get the "Turtle Party Wagon" forcing Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael to attack their arch-enemies' headquarters on foot? It'd be like telling Luke Skywalker in the first Star Wars movie, "please go take out the Death Star, oh but you can't fly a ship because they're too pricy and we need the money to feed you". No wonder I'm so screwed up.


"Let me show you pictures of my grandchildren, they're adorable!"


There seems to be a misconception that children are somehow all beautiful. This not only plagues the senior citizenry of this nation, but everyone of any age. So, to be fair, this is not a fault belonging solely to the 75 and up folks. Here's my problem with looking at pictures of the little tykes: nine out of ten are really ugly. Think about it, there are a lot of really ugly adults…where do they come from? And to those who are accusing me of superficiality right now, I was speaking on emotional terms. Now who's superficial?

Just wait until your social sercurity taxes go up to support us boomers.

This is your year in music to discover new talents

Hey dude, I did feel your pain re: Turtle Party Wagon till I kept reading and found out you had just about everything else. I was only allowed ONE figurine (Donatello). You suck! .... The sad thing is I found this page trawling the net to find a wagon to buy 18 years later

Woody has a point. You don't appreciate what I had to go through, the sales clerks I had to intimidate, to get those turtle figurines.

Man, kid.
You could learn a lot from old people.

Maybe you should stop talking and listen to them once in a while. They're pretty smart, you know.

p.s. I'm 21.
p.p.s. good luck.

what a collection of spam you attract

With consumer confidence at such low points do you think consumers are still getting breast augmentation at such high rates?

With the cost of gas going down so rapidly latley do you think it is cheaper to drive than fly when traveling?

Excellent site guys! great work!

Really well written!

Maybe you should get liposuction of the brain...that last comment was silly.


According to the investigations Andersen partner David Duncan allegedly headed an effort to destroy documents related to Enron after learning the Securities and Exchange Commission had requested financial records from the company.


In a civil case, a judge can allow the jury to question a document-destroying party’s intentions. For example, judges in certain cases will tell jurors they should assume missing documents are harmful simply because they were destroyed–even if they never see the contents.


Working for government department where each and every word is confidential. Knowing that your shredded documents cannot be reassembled and that your confidential information is safe is worth every cent of the cost of a paper shredder


Working and maintaining security throughout the office. I Placed shredder next to the copier or printer, these shredder models will stop information leak before it starts.


The saleman told me from whom I bought the shredder. All office shredders roll on casters for convenient sharing among offices. Every shredder model has a 10-year warranty on cutting heads and can take staples and paper clips which saves office stationary too.


Living in Florida there was an urgent need of shredder in the office so I called up the saleman who told me there was No sales tax on purchases delivered out of California! 10 year warranty on cutting heads & 1 year warranty on mechanical parts (parts only)!


The average office shredder does nothing to alter the computers where the vast majority of those paper documents originated.
