If you have read this blog more than once, you know that I have a problem with everything. That’s the way grumpy old men are. Today, I have a problem with old people. That may sound strange, since I are one.
What is it that makes old people want to tell you all their medical problems in great detail. I have a friend that just went through a hip replacement and I can give you the names of all those that had anything to do with the procedure. That’s details! Why would anyone think that I would want to know? This is why when I greet people at retiree meetings that I conduct, I never ask them how they are. I just comment, "It’s nice to see you" or "You’re looking good."
I can see no reason why anyone would want to hear an hour of more of my problems with in-stage Lyme disease that I’ve had for years.
To all old people, don’t tell everyone your problems. Eighty percent don’t care and twenty percent are glad you have them. Talk about more important things.
Fishing and the price of ammunition are important things.
