This makes me proud and happy for this man like it made me when like twenty years ago my then 80 year old grandma leaned to use a computer and write emails (with zero knowledge before). I hope I will be able to try and learn new stuff when older or at least will still learn to play new boardgames or so

This Lovely Gentleman Came In Today To Learn How To Curl His Wife’s Hair
His wife is unable to curl her own hair and often burns herself, so he stepped up to the plate and learned how to curl her hair. We had the pleasure of teaching him! We taught him how to do volume curls on short hair, how to protect her skin from being burned and we even taught him to put on her mascara.

This reminds me of another post I saw here awhile back. A black woman was approached by a white woman in the hair aisle, and wanted to ask a "non-offensive" question. The black woman, who was the OP, wrote how non-offensive questions always are, but she decided to be polite. Turned out the white woman (and her husband) had adopted a black girl, and they had no idea how to take care of the child's hair. So the black lady gave the white lady a beginner's course in the care and styling of black hair.

My parents were married for 67 years. They met when they were 15 and got married right after high school. Last February my dad passed away. After that, my mom's health deteriorated rapidly and she passed six weeks later. They just couldn't be apart. I miss them terribly every day, but I like the thought that maybe they're together in another realm.

They would be my dad and his wife. He's been with health issues the last 3 years, including 3 months in ICU. He's fine now, stronger. She's been diagnosed with breast cancer 2 days ago and he's been his rock. He's 79 and she 72, together for 40 years, married 8 years ago and are a perfect fit.

My Dad With The Bag Of Bone Marrow Donated By A 38-Year-Old Stranger In Germany To Save His Life
HTakeover 1 year ago (edited)
Oh damn, donating that stuff is painful as hell but invaluable. I recommend everybody put themselves on the marrow donor registry; free & easy to get the genetic profile (oral swab). It's hard enough to find a match in the usual databases, so this helps a ton. BeTheMatch.org (recently officially changed their org name but that still works for now).

The man that donated the bone marrow is a hero. The procedure is painful and can leave the donor weak for days or weeks. Because of this only 10% of the population donates bone marrow. I hope this sweet man recovers from whatever ails him.

My Father-In-Law Was Forced Into Early Retirement. Turns Out He's Pretty Good At Art
Back story: up until 9 months ago, he was working at a psychiatric hospital looking after sick people. A patient pushed him and he ended up grabbing him and falling to the ground with him, but the patient landed on top of him and he ended up breaking his back in multiple places. He had to be out of action for 6 months, that's when he had no choice but to retire early.
He fell into depression and felt like he had lost all hope. Recently, he decided to occupy his mind with something, so he started painting. To our surprise, it turns out he's pretty good, well we certainly think he is!

I Set Up A Sim Racing Setup For My 90-Year-Old Grandfather
I live in Korea, and I gifted my grandfather a sim racing setup this week, hoping to introduce him to the joy of driving.
Since my grandmother passed away last November, he's been quite depressed, and I thought it'd be great if he could find a hobby to focus on and enjoy. He often expressed a desire to drive somewhere, but given his age, actual driving is out of the question - not only for his safety but also for the safety of others on the road.
I wish I could be there to help him more since I am his grandson, but I live in a different region due to my business. Fortunately, my mother lives just two minutes away from him and visits daily to prepare meals, so she can assist him with the game. Since actual driving is too dangerous, I hope this virtual driving game can satisfactorily fulfill his desire to drive.

I'm sure he's having fun. It looks like he's the only man there. It reminds me of my father-in-law. He got involved with his local church after his wife passed away, and he told me that at one point he and the pastor were discussing how the church is supposed to take care of widows and orphans and he said "Pastor, how about this? You take care of the orphans and I'll take care of the widows."

Mom Has Been Having Cancer Treatment For 6 Months. We Took Her To My Daughter's Ultrasound To Find Out The Gender Of Her 10th Great-Grandchild
She was overjoyed and beaming with pride. She is an inspiration and we are extremely proud of her. It's a girl.

You can keep on saying that kind of bigoted hate speech all you want, but it won't make it true! :D Sex and gender aren't the same, my friend. And just because one can see one type of sex organs on a fetus does NOT mean that the person the fetus will become will be the same gender as their organs! Trans people are people. Non-binary people are people. Gender-neutral people are people. Genderfluid people are people. Agender people are people. Intersex people are people.

Naaa, going by the size of that shiny beauty in the kid's hand, I'd say it's worth about a million bucks.

90-Year-Old Carrying His Bag And Hitting Under His Age
There was a celebration of Arliss’s birthday at the Glenview, Illinois men’s golf club. I started playing 2 years ago and I thought I was too late. 9 decades of life and still going strong.

I have a new favourite expression. From the OP via the link: "My mom is the one on the right in the pic of us. She's nearly 70 but is constantly mistaken for being in her 40's. Asian don't raisin! Lol".

The Best Picture In Your Photo Album From Glastonbury
Tiny Dancer 1 year ago
I get it (other than the Elton connection!). It was too dark so I could only take a mental picture, but one of my favourite concert moments was watching an older couple dancing in their hotel room at the Skydome (now Rogers Centre) silhouetted against the window by the lamplight as Simon and Garfunkel sang (I believe it was "America").

93-Year-Old Grandma And I Are Watching Movies Together
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
Sure beats the hell of pretentious minimalist “greige” or other interior designer decorated and impersonal rooms, doesn’t it? This room welcomes you to make yourself at home, relax and enjoy yourself. No snootiness, no need to “know your forks” to be accepted here. Certainly no sterile hospital or “you can’t sit on the sofa” vibes either. It’s clean and neat, the furniture looks comfortable, and the pictures bring a lovely family feel to it. I really like this room.

Some of the best memories I have was rainy cold day with my grandmother watching black and white movies on TCM and AMC and she was telling me all the gossip of old Hollywood. I loved it.

My 71-Year-Old Father-In-Law Plays 2-3 Hours Of Call Of Duty A Day. Says It Keeps Him Sharp. Pretty Impressive For An Older Guy
Tabitha 1 year ago
Actually, it has been discovered that if a video game makes you complete certain tasks or quests in order to advance to another level, it’s a game that will keep your brain sharp. The games that claim to do that generally don’t have levels to advance to, so really aren’t doing what they advertise. Basically, Grandpa is doing the exact right thing to keep his mind sharp—-and bonus! He’s thoroughly enjoying himself while doing it. Win-Win!

I can't play those games to save my life but i do love to colour in. I got some colouring books and pens when i was in hospital and because I'm disabled now it's my new hobby.

Thank you for an article on older people that isn't calling them names and that highlights that older people are still people, not a generational "dirty word."

Yes. We've had enough of the Negative posts that just rag on other people and what you think they did wrong, or bad, hurt your feelings, Behave badly toward you or others in public, or are angry karen's.

My mum always wanted to go go-carting down a particular road for her 80th. Unfortunately we couldn't organize it (apparently getting a main road closed for am elderly lady's dream is not a good enough reason) I get why not but she would have loved it. My sister organized for her to go parachuting. Unfortunately she got cancer and never made it. But boy she really wanted to

I’m tired of seeing ageism on Bored Panda. Anyone can be wholesome at any age. They can also be very unwholesome: look at Trump, as one example. You generalize about Boomers, who are either cute or awful, Millennials, Gen X, etc. We are all very different. You wouldn’t stoop to characterizing different races as having certain traits. It’s an easy way to grab readers, but as a journalist I have to say that this is biased and ignorant. Grow up.
