Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we
would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:
The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement or
God out of government and school.
And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!
YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!
I'm the life of the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof caps.... with a hammer.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!

Me too a proud senior citizen... Sheila in Tx

Can't say that I'm "PROUD" to be a senior citizen but, I are one.
I agree with your listing of all the "BAD" things we are blamed for.
Just remember, or I should say, "REMIND" the younger people that with any luck at all they too will be "SENIOR CITIZENS" some day.

I'm very proud to be a senior citizen as well. I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience over the years, but every time I try to share some with my sons they say "Oh Dad" and won't listen, so I guess they'll have to learn the hard way..lol.

Maybe they will be fortunate enough to join a forum like this one and some other Old Fart will give them the same instruction, and they'll learn Dad wasn't so dumb after all. You can but HOPE.

Ok, Here's a silly question. At what age are you considered a Senior Citizen?
-
Dan when you get the enrollment packet from AARP like my wife got in the mail the other day but to get the dicount you must wait till 55 here in the U.S.
-
Well I guess it's official.
Hi, I'm Dan, and I am a senior citizen!

When my son reached the age of 16 I became so dumb that it was a wonder that I could walk and chew gum at the same time. :P :-\ :-[
He went off to college when he turned 18 and came home a few times a year. By the time he graduated at the age of 22, it was truly amazing how much I had learned in such a short time!! ;) ;D :o ::)

Dan, I think that's entirely dependent on the age of your kids and audience! LOL.

Wow Greybeard...you really are old aren't you....LOL I know how you feel...my kids are 46, 42, 36, 33 & 31...but I am still a young man...at least my wife tells me I am. Of course Social Security sees it a bit differently !! But the way, with all those kids, we only have two granddaughters...5 &3 with another on the way. Seems like couples are waiting longer to have kids these days.
I know I stand in line to get my old farts discount at Ace Hardware on Tuesdays

Pure and simple fact....
"OLD AGE ain't for Sissies!"

Hey...that would make a good 'wordart' pattern!
-
Ok in another thread Sheila called me a nice old GEEZER. I do resemble that.
I've never heard to my faulty recollection anyway. What would be the equivalent for a female?
Geezer always came across as male.
I've hear biddy but that relates to an old broody hen. So maybe we need to invent the word our selves. What say??????
