Average Age of the Planet

Apocalipstic · 11-23-2009, 01:51 PM

Is it OK that we are older? Would younger people feel more welcome if those of us who are older were not here?

I think it's ok. The younger guys have mentioned that they like to hear my side of things because it gives them an insight into what might be (good or bad). I don't any age is a bad thing; it's just a different thing and a different perspective. Being open to that perspective is important and closing your mind to it, IMO, isn't helpful for anyone. We all have a need to be heard and actively listened to on both sides of the coin of respect.

I think age is just a state of mind. If you really think about it. We can all learn something from each other, only if we are open to it. If not, then we miss out on alot.

Love,
Andrew

WELL! The "youngin's" have a life!! AND, they are still gettin' laid! (Just kidding to some of you married and involved folks!)

OK, I may have "revealed" something here about myself, huh?!

Really, "we are some of the ones who paved the way" for what/HOW it is today. Whether or not young kids and/or young adults grow to learn and appreciate that in history or as part of the "process" to continue on - or not, remains up to them... and I HOPE they continue on to be radical for our cause(s). I will be, until I can no longer breathe! (But, I respect ALL ways of "contributing". It doesn't just have to be marching on the streets, etc...)

I'm OK, in fact... GOOD with all of that/this! I'm just so proud of our history and any part that I was fortunate to experience! Existing HERE (at this site), in fact - is "something" special in history and time!

(And I may or may not still get lucky now and then at age "fiddy-somethin'"... out here in the woods!)
____

Seriously, my best "female" friend died at the age of 98. I learned SO MUCH from her. And her gone from this physical plane has left SUCH A HUGE WIDE OPEN VOID IN ME!!!!!

SHE SAID TO ME:

I will always be alright, as long as I remain "teachable". I will never forget her, nor that advice.

*Hugs and kisses my sister Virgo! I love you and miss you terribly.

Our household has an "age difference r us" thingie going on, so I don't tend to think about it that often. I don't have much contact with twenty-somethings though. I kinda miss that in my life.

hottprof · 11-24-2009, 09:39 AM

so I guess I am one of 8 or so "youngin's on this site" not too shabby... I am movin' my way up the ladder...

The older I get, the more I learn, the more I can share with the younger generation.

Nat · 10-22-2011, 06:46 PM

Maybe we should start saving to create a retirement community one day

I think it is actually a really awesome idea. There are a few gay/lesbian communities out there, and people are flocking to them. They are expensive, though.

Someone who is good at creating that kind of thing should do it. If it was in a half decent location I would seriously relocate (a 55+ type community).

AtLast · 10-22-2011, 07:22 PM

Oh good, I'm not as far from the mean than I thought!! Oh yeah- a queer retirement community sounds great!

i hear Hot SPrings is great for retirement. Maybe we should all gravitate to the hot springs as we age, then we won't have to travel so far for the reunion.....
just sayin'
