Penny for your thoughts...

For Grownups - not for the Fainthearted!

(that's on a bad day!

For edgy oldies?

Wisdom and wit

I like that one ninathenana

eglantine it is maybe a bit "Rocky Horror Picture Show" ... but we are, aren't we?

Something to do with "generation" except I can't quite get there. Re-generation?
Information generation?
Conversation, information, something something..generation?
Oh well it kept me occupied on my way to the shops!

Following nina's suggestion - Wisdom, wit and warmth.

I like that kitty my favourite so far!

I was thinking 'for fun and support' but it sounded like a lively truss.

Or a musical bra!

Yes, I like kitty's last suggestion too.

To be honest, I don't like either, and mainly because of the use of the word "wiser", which I think might sound a bit off putting to mums who may have been given a lot of the current "advice" (which seems to change so often!)

Sorry to post a negative opinion, without a positive suggestion, bit brain tired tonight!

PS, that post was in response to the HQ OP, not to any other members posts.

Still got it

Or wise witty and warm?

I really do dislike the idea that we think we are wiser. I have your recent 'meet the author' book going round my head (it's very good) so my thoughts are around something like:

GRANSNET
'for another bite of life'

Perfect GG. We could have a set of dentures as the logo. Sorted.

Glad that I'm not the only one who isn't happy with the "wiser" thing, I think it comes across as a bit smug, but that might just be my take on it.

I'll have you know that I have all my own teeth Alima
(well, nearly all, bar a couple of crowns, one missing and lots of fillings)

I'll put my thinking cap on.

Is it trendy to have a strapline or something? I don't see the need and I do see the difficulty of trying to sum up something so complex and all-(well almost all)-embracing in a few words. The idea seems a bit trite to me.

Having said that, the Mumsnet one is okay.

1. We are not all of one generation.
2. Grans are not all pensioners with perms.
3. Even if they are pensioners they have not all descended to the female equivalent (or male) of the pipe and slippers stage.
4. The wisdom thing. If you were wise when you were young you are probably wise now. If not, probably not. It's arrogant to think it is an age thing.
5. Whatever it is could it be positive please.

I am not keen on 'another bite of life'. I am still chewing the bite.

We are not different from the rest of the world just because we've been here longer.

I felt very patronised yesterday by a representative of WEA who asked me if I'd like to learn to use a smart phone but didn't ask the 40 year old next to me! We need to get away from the idea that we are a different 'race' from younger people.

I'm still chewing the first bite!!!
