Elderly WHAT!!!! fxck off!

kittylester

No hope gg, no hope at all.

I know kitty I am a lost cause

GrannyGravy if you do take the Crocs plunge, and they come up a bit big (they do tend to) you can shrink them in the tumble drier

I thought elderly people wore twin sets and pearls (I would rather die!) or have blue rinses

OP, do you not see the irony of your own judgemental stereotype of an elderly person?

Aggression and swearing will not prove to anyone that you are any younger than you are. Wear what you want, do what you want, but you can't hold back the hands of time however loudly you protest.

You protest too much, OP - this site has never been promoted as ‘for the elderly’. I imagine many people on here have frequent sex, trim their own hedges (is that a euphemism?), go to festivals, etc. But - don’t feel the need to shout about it - and certainly don’t feel the need to boast that they swear! I personally hate crocs - I think they’re ugly, and I don’t think they’re a sign that you’re young at heart?! I dislike the formality of traditional pearls too - but I do wear some clothes that might be considered for younger people - but don’t feel the need to shout about it.
Are you happy in your life? That’s the important thing ?

well said polly, i wholeheartedly agree as i am sure will most other gransnetters. (flowers)

And GrannyGravy, if you want a hand hold or any support, feel free to pm me

I've never had crocs. But Wilko rubber clogs are fine for garden !

I like crocs, by the way.
I don't need to shout about it, or seek approval from anyone else; that's part of the joy of being elderly.

[crocs] are great to slip on and go in the garden

My DD was digging with a garden fork, while wearing crocs.
A prong snapped and stuck right into her foot.
Of course, I don't suppose wellies would have been any better, in that situation.

Especially with the wine gg.

The attributes you describe OP are not the exclusive preserve of the young, nor do they guarantee eternal youth.
So your hair is not dyed (note) - so what. Swearing like a navvy is not especially youthful, but frankly shows a lack of imagination on the swearer’s part.
I’m delighted you trim your own hedges or trees - but I don’t and frankly I never did. So what.
Shania Twain sums up perfectly what I feel about your rant

A distinct whiff of plimsolls!

Very distinct.

kittylester

And, are you different from the rest of us?

Oooh, actually, I bought some pearls last week! Ooh no!

My hair's not dyed either.

It’s not the obvious pearls and twinset that dictates our age etc. it’s how you feel! I’m off to see ed Sheehan soon with my son and can’t wait for the buzz of an open air concert. I eat well still work and don’t feel old but tired sometimes yes but adamant I’m doing it all!

I can’t walk in Crocs or any other backless slip ons kitty, I’m wearing my favourite Merrel aqua shoes. They’re definitely not for the elderly as they’re from the children’s range ?. But you go right ahead if it’s what you want,

Has anyone blinged up their crocs with pearls or stick on jewels? We could start a photo competition thread.

I feel the OP has made a valuable contribution to GNet today.

No, I tend to wear them round the farm.
Or plimsolls

As for real crocs - I do try to avoid them.

Good for you but what is stopping you , travelling the world, having sex or writing a book ? Go for it don't talk about it.?

Noooooooo!

Would it ever be right to keep on your crocs whilst having sex?

0-30 young
31-60 middle aged
61 plus old. That is a statement not a judgement and if you haven't noticed that what people are like at any given age is rarely related to it.

There is also a phrase 'mutton dressed as lamb'. I also quite like 'mutton behaving like lamb'. This the definition of people chronologically aged over 61, who try too hard to show how young they really are - and overdo it.

Thought it was compulsory, sago.

Germanshepherdsmum

I think you mean chronologically, not chronically. Anyway you sound distinctly unpleasant.

????

What do you feel the need to boast about it Hink2? Live and let live I say.

Anyway, personally, I'd like to thank the op for lightening my day.

Are you asking for a friend?
In certain circumstances it might be advisable but only in the interest of health and safety. ?
