trump announced the withdrawal from Syria on October 7...

@SmartKat just because he's 70 he will probably have chronic health problems?

@Fernie Well, a lot of people die in their 70s. Quite a few die in their 60s.

There’s always hope. 🖤

@SmartKat and many die at 51.....I am in the age bracket you think are destined to get sick and drop dead....healthy as a horse and so are ALL my OLD friends.70 is the new 50

@Fernie I’ll be 56 in December, and I’m not dead yet.

@SmartKat Yes, I know,,,that was my point. Being a certain age now is NOT indicative of one's health or immediate future. Your comment screamed ageism...and being older than you and quite healthy...It bugged me

@Fernie I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be insensitive.

@SmartKat I don't think you were insensitive at all...you just are young enough to not be aware of how the world sees us,,,especially women...as we age...I think when you hit 60 you'll really start to feel the difference...you get some grey hairs and you're perceived as old and finished...you become invisible the older you get...people take you less seriously..youngun' really think they are smarter than you....I could sit all day and describe the way things change. While being perceived that way...you KNOW you are still vibrant, a smartkat, and viable...exxasperating!
