    Get used to it. No generation seems to understand that they too will grow old and be reviled by the next generations. It has ever been so.

    Grandpa Simpson was always right about “It.” We once had “It”, then we lost “It”, and now we can’t even remember what “It” was.

      The oldest Millennials are about 43 right now, “over the hill” and it hurts, it hurts (mostly lower back and knees)

        Ahhhh, you ain’t old yet. I got tennis shoes older than you. Literally. I still have a pair of original Converse tennis shoes I bought when I was playing basketball in high school back in the 1970s. Why I still have them, I don’t know. But they are still in my closet along with a slide rule I used for math classes.

        That’s a good indication of old age. Having things and memories that were once commonplace, but are now totally obsolete.
