The very idea is sheer mad...YOU will NEVER be old! The very idea is sheer madness, who put this concept into your head? <br /><br />But..I know what you mean about people acknowledging each other. It's nice, it's respectful. I get a similar vibe in Italy most of the time.<br /><br />And it's nice that the young people treat the older people with respect. I think there's too little of that going on in the world. And perhaps that's the root of what is wrong with the world!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722747191952675729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-1518625324610762802010-03-14T13:16:52.864-04:002010-03-14T13:16:52.864-04:00My Dad decided to go back to Buenos Aires about 10...My Dad decided to go back to Buenos Aires about 10 years ago. My Sister and I were totally against it: we worried about him...what are we going to do if he gets sick?...Argentina is so far away...it's not that easy to take a plane and go. At the end, he went back and I must say that even though we worry about him still, his life has improved 100%. He can visit the café every day, go out to lunch with friends, watch soccer in the middle of the day with lots of men his own age and talk about politics, sports and women all day long while eating all the food the Dr. tells him not to.Hey, at 87 he is ahead of the game! Living in BA has extended his life for sure even if he eats prosciutto, salami, empanadas and asado!!!LOL!!!Nice and Easy Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191880400625523533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405235946922980965.post-10363121502520211022010-03-14T11:20:18.369-04:002010-03-14T11:20:18.369-04:00What a glorious, lucious post swimming in contentm...What a glorious, lucious post swimming in contentment. I wish the young people here were the way you described them, but for the most part it is the opposite. I think it has to do with the way a society views its aged. <br /><br />Lovely blog - I'm glad you visited me so now I can visit you!PurestGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860331983741242940noreply@blogger.com
