Teenage boys occasionally offer to help me with putting the groceries into the trunk of my car. Yah, I know--this won't happen everywhere but it does here in small town Nebraska.

When everyone is laughing on the other end of the phone because you called the local radio station and asked if they’ll play some golden oldies for you.

My first loud and clear "wake up call" was in the mid 1980's when 60's music was first called "golden oldies".

Don't let them get you down. We know we are gold!

Some of those guys like to treat me like their moma in the stores also. They come up and start conversations about things I really don't care about but they amusing so I let them go on a bit. Others can be so rude they run over you like you don't exist.

Take care and have a great week.

Sorry, Aks. I see your tears but your post activated my laughing CatWoman.

You have some nice teens in your town! The Publix market in my neighborhood has the most courteous and helpful employees I've ever seen in a market. There are always plenty on the floor for questions. Those bagging are a wide range of ages and that's another plus for this store. They will offer to carry things out even if it's one lightweight bag and will also hold a store umbrella over heads if anyone wants to go to the car in the rain.

People who think of the 80's as golden oldies must think the Beatles were cave men.

When you're young you worry about getting dirt under the fingernails, when you're older you worry about having to work.

Eventually, you stop dreaming about the future and just start living day-to-day.
