There are a few here I remember, one nut job in particular I was quite fond of. He suffered from multiple personalities, but his saving grace was a PHD from Berkley in philosophy. I see his medication has helped, as there are now only two of him. ;)

I was born in 1916 in Kentucky. I graduated from Transylvania University in 1941 and went on to the University of Kentucky. I started teaching at Berea College in 1944 and taught history and theology there until I retired in 1984.

Now I'm just a blithe spirit in an old house full of books.

Almost all conversations with strangers begins with "wow I hope I live that long."

I tell them be carful what you wish for, it's lonely at this age, with all of your friends dead, and just you kids to put up with.

Put things in perspective, if I was 50, BE would still be in high school.

If at 95 you feel relatively healthy, can still think well and can put up with the likes of BE then it is not such a bad thing.

I had a great aunt that lived on her own until she was 100. Looked after herself and her mind operated at full capacity still.

She passed away a few years ago but lived a long and happy life. If I'd known about you earlier, I could have hooked you up with her, or...... will you not date older women? ;)

When the love of my life was killed back in 1940, I never took the plunge again.

I am very sorry to hear that PG, that would have been very traumatic for you. I can't imagine your pain when that happened :(

She was a free spirit, and more adventurous than I. When a barnstormer came to town she wanted to go, so I bought her a ride for five dollars. The old fleetwing wasn't very well maintained, and when he did a loop we all heard a loud crack, and the wing folded back. I watched in horror as the old plane spun into the ground.
