    Your nervous fits and anger seem to have less and less of a reason so you do that less. Your red hot piping anger mind explosions don't happen as frequently and you don't break your hand or cut it out of wanton and carelessness smacks on hard dangerous surfaces. You hate people less. You stay in one place. You still want to hurt the person who won't talk back or thank you though. You know food. This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at June 14, 2022 8:47 PM MDT

    You can blame your age on so many things!

    Even, better others will overlook so much because of your age.

    Your comma ran foul of the law; it should be after the word “better”.

    Ten demerits, and you must report for detention at Mr. Randolph’s room.

    That's very true! 

    Do most women get a few good years in between menopause and dementia? 

    Hey - I think I'll ask that question!

    I've always thought that older people had a ton of wisdom. Then again, realized very recently that there are stupid a/f older people in prison too. This post was edited by Zack at June 15, 2022 7:42 PM MDT

    Maybe most have been in there a long time? 

    If Welby sees this he'll think about Shawshank Redemption!

    You realize that many things don’t matter, so you worry and fret less. Also, you get to go to college reunions, as I did over the weekend, and rag on people you knew at 18 for how old they look.

    It's a pretty good bet for older folks that they have had life experiences and from them gained wisdom.
