Can you help me? 50 years ago....

[April]

Ha! I don't need help 50 years ago... I need help with finding something cool that compares 50 years ago to now. A good quote about being a senior (as in senior citizen) would be nice too. TIA

But April, we who remember 50 years ago are not yet Seniors, unless we can get discounts in stores. Loved the quotes.

lol you make me laugh

[April]

we who remember 50 years ago are not yet Seniors Excuse me... I meant something about being a junior citizen not a senior citizen. ha ha.

Now if you were still 17, you would LOVE being called a senior, right?

[Bverly]

Right, but I think I would hate having to go through the dating scene again. I'll stick to being a almost senior who spoils her grandchildren and sends them home with Mommy to deal with the aftermath.
