Upside vs downside of having a girlfriend in the early stages of being 'elderly'!!

Yer kiddin right? You’re not mistaking those ladies hitting on you there visiting their mothers?
Nope, they were in the same age range as my former English teacher, who is a resident, and recommended the place. And she still looks fantastic in her 80s.

Okay I trust you. Does that place accept out-of-state residents or are there extra tuition costs? Or how ‘bout part time residency, say btw the hours of midnight and 5am – in the female ward?

They are flexible. The catch is they have a 10 year waiting list. I know why.

Wow, TEN years? Have no idea if I’ll make next year much more 10, add I’d be too old to get friendly with any of the Martha’s…dang.

Wife said that she could see me gladly going in tomorrow. They give you two strikes (turn down admission), if you don't take the third opportunity, you are out, and they keep the deposit. I have a history of longevity in my family tree, and my wife doesn't. She said I can see you cruising that place in your fancy chair, and asking them if they want a ride in a GTX. Oh well.

Wife said, you would gladly go in tomorrow, you creep
Wish ya hadn’t mentioned this to your wife. Now she thinks I’m a creep. This was supposed to be just btw the both of us and no one else.

No, I hadn't. That was her comment after we made the deposit. "You" referred to me. Pitfalls of communication by screen. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Edited my post to clarify. Reminds me why I don't miss being a corporate mouthpiece, it's not hard to screw up with a keyboard.

Early stages :lol:

At your advanced age (cranky) you should be happy
not having to deal with the associated BS
enjoy your time
if need be, go out & mingle
at your age that's about it :poke:

& a girlfriend vs a wife, are 2 completely different deals
anyone, who tells you otherwise is lying
no matter how long they've been together

why in the hell ? would you screw up a good thing ?
doing what you want, when you want, & answering to nobody :realcrazy:

you don't need a woman to validate your existence
especially at 70+, they don't need you either
they may want something you have
you may want them to do the dishes or vacuum
not much else at 70+ unless you think you can get a younger lady
or drive you crazy after the newness wears off

Get your hair cut 1st, old-man :carrot:

if you want a younger one, :monkeyleft:
I saw on TV an add viagra/blue pill & cialis/yellow pill is $20-$45 a pill,
you ain't no different than anyone else, there's a shelf life on the thing

Maybe, get a dog, if you need company,
loyal & lovable
(not just a prairie dog, they are not the same)
they will be 110% loyal & love you unconditionally till death, you or them

Smiley Older don't worry you'll still do dumb stuff just slower.jpg


if it's meant to be, it will be

Lol, was just kiddin around. Thanks
 
Wouldn't it just be cheaper and less stress to hire a high-end "call girl" for companionship when going out"?
 
I've been playing a variation on this theme since last year, with my friend Deb, my fellow crutch user who is 76, six years older than me. She finally met my wife last spring, and they really hit it off. Diane told me I should take her out for dinner whenever I meet her at a show (she is a vendor at most of the Carlisle events). I started last fall, and totally enjoyed it. My wife hates car shows, and is thrilled not to attend with me. Deb loves them, and like me, is also into 50s and 60s nostalgia with both clothes and music.

Early on, we would get many folks inquiring if we were a couple, when we were together at her vendor spot. Initially, she said no, we were just crutch buddies. Now she introduces us as a "car show couple." She explains that she knows my wife, has much in common with her, but acts as her proxy in the car show arena. Deb had confided early on that she has always been drawn to the car show scene because it gave her a social outlet where she didn't get hit on. And I love being able to talk about cars with an attractive older woman who lived through the period. Discussing the disability stuff has been a fringe benefit for both of us (she was a therapist back in the day.) Sure wouldn't have pictured this in my 20s, but we get a good laugh out of it.
Going from crutch buddies to crotch buddies happens in the blink of an eye!
 
Babs Eden is what, 92.....and I'd 100% still hit that.
 
Maintain separate homes, the problems start when you try living with the psychos. Separate bank accounts too.

Oh, yeah.... another thought I'd offer... if the plumbing works, turn on the faucet full blast to fill the sink.

What's wrong with a little plumbing advice ? What about a little electrical advice: You should stick a prong in a socket to see if your lamp lights up. Try a few. Some sockets are loose, some are tight, see which one fits the prong better.
 
Kain't think of any down side except for not getting anything done on the car or anything else in the house, shop or yard! Just glad the grass isn't growing much right now lol. She works part time 2 days a week so that helps a bit for me to recover from the other days!!! :D But by the time I catch up on getting stuff done while she's at work, I'm even more tired.....and she's only 10 months younger than me! WTHeck!? Eh, can't complain as I never thought I'd be in this predicament ever again and we get along very well.

Anyways....anyone else out there finding love in their later years? I know of a couple of members here that have and well, it's a good feeling.
No one should be alone! Period.
