How do old people do it?

[her209]

My grandma grew up with nothing in the old country. She still has very little to this day. Her husband, my grandfather, passed away pretty early on and she had to raise my aunts and uncles by herself. And after all these years, she's never complained one bit.

Different expectations. Go to any 3rd world country and see how most of the people live there.

Because parents set their kids straight back then, that is also how many people grew up, with very little. Not everyone had the privileged lives most kids have now.

Materialism corrupts.

I'd say. Especially when you're running for your life from the Commies.

Figured you were talking about sex. I've often wondered how two eighty year olds could have sex. I mean, even if they had the urge, they're still the same people on the inside, right? They must find the sight of an eighty or ninety year old naked body just as disgusting as they did when they were 30, so how could the possibly get it up?

there eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell degrade at the same pace as there looks, they never notice. as for getting it up, well now they've got pills for that.

i really don't want to think of two 80 year olds bumping uglies.

I will always respect the older generations for what they were able to do. Personally, I think we have it way easier and whine way too much. Bless those people cause I don't think I could have done what they did.

Yup...each succeeding generation gets more selfish and greedy. 🙁

Lol I though you were asking me how they "did" it. Well, it goes sorta like this..old guy buys viagra, waits for wife to fall into sleep/coma, whichever comes first. Then he does the deed. She doesn't feel a thing. She's lost any sensitivity down there anyway. Pretty gross eh?

I came in here thinking this was about old people having sex.
