Senior Citizens

I was in Sociology class tonight and our lecture was on aging. This question came up (I am the only person over 30 besides the teacher) and I said I would ask you guys and come back next week with some answers. My answer was that I can enjoy more things because I am not so worried about what others will think.

When you find that a person contually answers your question with rude demeaning remarks, I think it is fair game. If you don't agree with the question, agree, with class and manners. Or just go on to the next question.

I cannot even answer her questions that she posts. I have a person that stalks me and is very rude in answering my questions but I can't get rid of them. I have no idea what I did to "JUST ME" and she has the power to block me. Is anyone else able to do this to other people?
It upsets me to know I have to tolerate it.

1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline,diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is tempe rature-compensated so that the indicated gallon gage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.

2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.

3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof'membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)

4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting,thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'

Not what do you want to be remembered for.
Be honest, be realistic.
When gone, what do you think those closest to you will remember the most about you?

I remember some strange stuff from my childhood. Apparently they worked.

I was prone to sore throats. Mom would take some kind of cloth, fill it up with melted Vicks Vaporub and tie it around my neck. Dad would make hot water with lemon juice in it and make me drink it.

What are some of your best home remedies?

I live with my 53 year old Aunt (I'm 30)--and we get along VERY well. We're both single. I pay rent & utilty bills (which helps her out alot) , and we each buy our own food.

I have a VERY stressful job as a teacher's aide in a tough school, but my Aunt is retired and home all day. This may seem strange; but I like to eat dinner alone and have the kitchen to myself. I like to read the paper & eat in peace and quiet, which I find relaxing. In the past, my Aunt cooks & eats around 7pm--while I usually eat dinner around 6...But recently, I decided to eat dinner at 5pm. All of the sudden, my Aunt has started cooking dinner at 5pm. While I'm eating, I hear the the clanking of pots & pans, along with her moving back & forth around the TINY kitchen. I find this VERY annoying and I dont know why! When I asked her why she's cooking so early now--her feelings were hurt & she got upset. IS IT STRANGE THAT I'M ANNOYED? AM I SELFISH FOR NOT WANTING TO SHARE THE KITCHEN?

When Harley Davidson died and went to heaven he boasted to God that he'd created the best motor bike in the world.

God said that BMWs were better.

Harely said; " what do yo know about design? You created woman and look at the problems we have with them!"

God said " I think you'll find a lot more men are riding my creation than yours!"

When someone said we all needed to register with a particular site to avoid telemarketer calls, I took them at their word, I never had any because I have the national site that George Bush implemented. But they said that was running out. So I clicked on and gave the information, now I am starting to get calls from all sorts of goof ball telemarketers...I am really mad, folks. But guess what, it will be a long time before I get scammed again, I can shut down my whole yahoo account, I am not dependent on this for entertainment or anything else. There are some very nice folks on here, but the nut cases get harder for me to ignore.

Go spend a day in senior housing. You will find the residents watching the same shows, playing the same games, eating the same food, etc., day after day after day. Especially "The Price is Right." What's up!! How about a little change?
