I have often found, because I am getting old, that it is better to keep my comments to myself. Because in the grand scheme of things; who really cares what an old man really has to say.

    Hey, Jancarl! Well... Im not too young! : ) I really like to talk to "old" people; they always have something to teach. It doesnt matter if somebody cares or not about what you have to say: say it! Have a good night. Ruben.

    Jancarl, I was born just as the great depression was ending. My parents both worked and made 5 cents an hour, each. However, I don't feel that makes me old. My mind and body still feel young so I am blessed. I just hope my muse will not die before I do, knocking on wood here. But there are times when it is on shaky ground. I do think it wonderful that these young people on the soup will put up with us old codgers.

    Never let age silence your voice !!! With age comes wisdom...and wisdom needs to be shared. I tend to ramble too much on my comments...I think that is a sign of age too...but, then what more is there to do?? lol Share your comments !!

    I agree with Mandy. I care what you have to say! We need your wisdom... your example. Please don't feel like no one cares about that.

    If old men never expressed a comment or opinion , how would we learn? All comments should be valued, but none should be placed if they are bad and I am sure you would never fall into that category xx

    Oh my Mandy, I have many comments that are not too kind. I say them under my breath or just think them. There are many horses butts in this world, but then we all can't be perfect can we??
