this is sooooooo trueCute girls used to smile at me because I was attractive. Now cute girls smile at me because I'm old and they're being nice.
... I don't think I know anything about long-term care insurance. Or if I caught wind of it, I might have mentally lumped it in with "Rolls Royce-level medical insurance".If I could go back in time, at 30 I would have gotten life insurance and long term care insurance, especially the latter. Many of us are headed to assisted living and until my friend's mother was admitted, I thought Medicare would cover something. It covers nothing. Pretty scary that young people don't have on their minds.
i've just assumed their smiles are that uneasy facial expression people get when they see someone old trying to stand up from a chair, but worrying they might tip over in the process. that sort of "oh god, i want to look and make sure this goes ok, but not seem like i'm staring..." forced smile.Cute girls used to smile at me because I was attractive.

which, let's be honest is probably right but we've gotta take what we can get
Many people don't. Like many us, we find out when Medicare and other insurances deny it.... I don't think I know anything about long-term care insurance. Or if I caught wind of it, I might have mentally lumped it in with "Rolls Royce-level medical insurance".

Thanks. That helped.Ralph Macchio turned 51, the same age as Pat Morita when "The Karate Kid" hit theaters, SEVEN years ago.
My dad has one of those, and he is an "old car" guy. So yeah.I came up behind a car at a stop light that looked something like this. I could see it was a different license plate and I wanted to see what state. Turns out it’s my state when I got close but it says antique on it and I remember cars like that driving around everywhere and doesn’t seem like that long ago.
There’s kids today that think of cars like that like we think of the Model T or Edsel, I suppose.My dad has one of those, and he is an "old car" guy. So yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of a crappy car. Don't know why my Dad loves them so much. He loves them so much, in fact, that he sold one... bought a nice safe Honda CR-V, and then a few months later saw the Mustang he had sold back on Craigslist and bought it back (after selling the CR-V). He's 83 and hardly ever drives it.back when mustangs when from good to "####ty"
ETA: actually occurred a number of years before this model ...

I had the 1990 25th anniversary edition of that Mustang back in the 90's. The original Mustang came out in 1964 1/2. We are now more years away from my 1990 (30) than the 1990 was from the original (26.5). Whoa.Yeah, it's kind of a crappy car. Don't know why my Dad loves them so much.
