I'm 70 and in good health but, for well over a year now, I've been saying to my friends that I wouldn't go to any hospital, no matter what, even if you paid me. I mean that, too, because I'm more likely to die there than if I stay at home.
Yesterday, when my 76 year old friend visited (apart from high blood pressure and a few aches and pains, he's quite well and walks his dog a lot), I told him that the government has decided to get rid of us oldies a.s.a.p. Not only that, but you can nearly guarantee that their deaths will be labelled with Covid.
I'll go and read the comments now, so I might be back...;-D

I was a tomboy when I was young, and could do anything that the "real" boys could do, or at least give it a damn good try.
I'd never thought about it until now, but could it have had something to do with my having a twin brother? Or maybe it was because most of my schooling was at a boys grammar school which had recently converted to a mixed school, although the majority of pupils were always boys? Maybe both. Either way, I never had any inclination to be a boy. Why should I, when I was perfectly content to be girl?
Funny that, isn't it? Yet here I am, soon to turn 71, as a mother and grandmother who has always believed and accepted that there are two genders. I won't lose anything by continuing to live by my beliefs, but our future generations may well have a lot to lose if the human race continues to destroy its own foundations.

A few years ago, an American made a comment on a YT channel, saying "Oh, I thought Europe was just one country, and didn't know there were so many different countries there!" True!!! When I read it, part of me wasn't surprised, and the rest of me just raised my eyebrows and cringed in disbelief. It stuck in my mind because of the ignorance displayed.
I'm 71, and I remember my father telling me during the 1960's that the world will eventually be full of coffee-coloured people. Being in my mid-teens, I didn't understand what he meant. RIP, Dad, you were right.

Well, the structure of the English language is a combination of other languages (e.g. Latin, Greek, French, German, etc), so anyone who doesn't understand the history of a word isn't really in a position to criticise the context in which it may be used.
"Reading between the lines" can be quite important at times.
Whatever way we choose to say something is, to some extent, limited to each individual's knowledge and understanding of that language. When someone speaks or writes to me, I'm far more interested in the overall context of those words than I am in the individual usage of them.
It seems to me that criticism has recently become a ridiculously bad habit by many of those who just enjoy doing it for the sake of it, rather than actually having any solid grounds for making it in the first place.
Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned girl (I'm 71) with an old-fashioned curl (anyone remember Aretha Franklin?), but sincerity is far more important to me than the way in which it's portrayed. "It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it".
Have a good day, everyone, wherever you are.😉
