Old People

[tshadowchaser]

I never really liked the terminology "Old People"

but this makes me feel better about it.

And if you ain't one, I bet ya you know one!

I got this from an "Old Personal friend of mine"!

"OLD PEOPLE" PRIDE

I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only "old people" receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.

• Old People are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the National Anthem. Old People remove their caps, cover their hearts, stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.
• Old People remember World War II, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal , Normandy , and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War, The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam .
• If you bump into an Old People on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old People on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady. Old People trust strangers and are courtly to women and treat them with great respect.
• Old People hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
• Old People get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies. Old People have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it's about their children, grandchildren or their animals.
• It's the Old People who know our great country is protected, Not by politicians, but by the young men and women in the military serving their country.
• 
  This country needs Old People with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country, and decent values .
• .We need them now more than ever.
  
  Thank God for Old People

:chuckles: I guess, other than the specifically American points, that I'm an Old Person then. Always have been too by the sounds of things :lol:.

you and me both

sorry for the large print I couldn't figure out how to make it smaller after I copied it. It sucks being computer dumb

If you select the text you want to change the font of and then look along the toolbar above the post entering windwon you should see a Size tab with a drop arrow next to it. Click that and you can make the font bigger or smaller. Default size is two I think - I have no idea what the default font is tho'. My wife might have been able to tell us as she was a printer but I have no clue - maybe Verdana?
