What is it about the elderly

[Terra]

Actually, the point of the thread was to surmize what it was they were trying to tell me. As I understand it from many of my older relatives, the days following the depression were hell. I'm not slamming the gas card or the pallet of soup and the other stuff (well, okay the hot pink tube socks-but it gets cold here) as much as I'm wondering what they know that I don't. And that's obviously plenty.

At any time in my life, my blessings could easily be defined by a can of soup.

I love my relatives. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have the blessings that I have that came from the sweat of their brows.
