Someone did an age poll a few months ago. I don’t think there was anyone under 35. It would be nice because we would have a broader perspective.

They're on TikTok, Instagram and Reddit.

And probably several others I don't even know about.

Believe me, I feel it.

I wear hearing aids, get sore easy and tired out easy, (that's why I bought an e-bike,) and like 60's and 70's tunes.

that millennials get when they want to snicker or disapprove but are being polite.

Basically, DU seems to be the Ladies Home Journal for boomers. So be it. I like it here.

I love and admire the young generation. I think they're going to be a great generation, and I kind of wish they were here, but I do understand.

It's nice to see that everyone in my generation didn't turn into a Republican the first time Reagan cut taxes, dumping debt on future generations with that "trickle down" nonsense.

My son is 51 and he's more liberal than I am. But he's also a lot more practical about things - like money, health issues, death.
