Something about the good old days, is very comforting to me, and I enjoy listening to the memories of those that lived them. I can only imagine what my "good old days stories" will be like. <br /><br />I love your vision of life for our seniors of the future. I wonder if you realized your describing what our own elderly years will be like, LOL.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-17446295173565257292009-05-16T16:28:00.000+10:002009-05-16T16:28:00.000+10:00@ Lilly - oh I dont know if we become a year wiser...@ Lilly - oh I dont know if we become a year wiser - if we learn the lessons we do though.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-26177623142354206672009-05-16T12:21:00.000+10:002009-05-16T12:21:00.000+10:00@ Helen - aw glad it relieved the stress even for ...@ Helen - aw glad it relieved the stress even for a moment!!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-66732424127016801502009-05-16T12:15:00.000+10:002009-05-16T12:15:00.000+10:00I loved ~ simply loved ~ this post.

Nice post and it was interesting reading...Hi Lilly,<br />Nice post and it was interesting reading your readers comments. I've always agreed with the phrase "a year older makes you a year wiser". As a result, I feel that most old people have lots of wisdom to pass on to anyone who will listen. The young ones might get bored with their stories but there's a lot we can learn if only we give them our time and listen (even if we've heard it before). <br /><br />Take care,<br />LJIJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946255354410667582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-41896863084004070082009-05-14T22:04:00.000+10:002009-05-14T22:04:00.000+10:00@ Rhonda - well I hope it keeps you awake, you fun...@ Rhonda - well I hope it keeps you awake, you funny girl!!!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-59037677240817995232009-05-14T16:13:00.000+10:002009-05-14T16:13:00.000+10:00Always a pleasure to visit, Lilly.

She has more piercings than tats. Too much for me but all power to her for deciding what she wants in life.<br /><br />@ Everyone - I loved some of your thoughts on the future seniors looking back on the good old days.<br /><br />I do have something to share with you that my daughter told me that kind of made me think - if you get a piece of string cut it in half then in half again - the piece left is the life you have left. Think about it. No wonder that woman got tatts!! lol<br /><br />And Des is doing ok. They will keep him in hopsital until he is mobile. They dont quite know what is the problem yet. However, I just want you to know that all your well wishes put a big smile on his face. The guys up there with him couldnt really get their heads around the fact that someone from India, Philadelphia, England were sending him best wishes. Try explaining a blog to someone who doesnt use the internet. He is the man though.

You can e-mail her to ask, if you want. Or even write to her about your specific situation (the more detail the better) <br /><br />More than anything else in 30 years of dating and getting my heart broken and not understanding why this was happenning to me - she has cleared things up completely.<br /><br />Never again will I make the mistakes I did - or experience the devastation or misery or confusion with a guy. <br /><br />I even have self-esteem I never had.<br /><br />Lilly, truly if I could give you ONE gift, a gift that amttered, a gift that would make a difference, a gift that would end up bringing you joy and strength and having a better feeling about yourself via men than you've ever had before, this would be it.<br /><br />It SO far goes past 'he's just not that into you' or any other book I ever read, or workshop/seminar on relationships/self-help I've ever attended....<br /><br />((hugs))<br /><br />After a while, you won't care whether or not he's a narcissist - you'll know you'd never be interested in or fall victim to another one :)Frequent Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348485045513754985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-6251764342527821592009-05-13T12:34:00.000+10:002009-05-13T12:34:00.000+10:00Oh Lillyness!
