Chess For Oldtimers --- Part II

Also true Tony.

Thanks for all of the posts.

   ---   Yup the previous thread on this subject is getting messed up again due to too much Horse Manure so I'm bringing this new version tread back again, those Clowns are back  lol.

A cute quote from Bill Vaughan: " By the time you're eighty years old you've learned everything. You only have to remember it. " 

 " The only two things that we do with greater frequency in middle age are urinate and attend funerals "; a funny item from Fred Shoenberg  lol.

he forgot doctor's appointments!

Yeah, I forgot one!

Thanks for the posts.

I came across this funny item earlier: Alice was asked by a friend if she ever thinks about the hereafter. She said, " I do all the time. No matter where I am in the house, kitchen, den, upstairs, downstairs I ask myself: Now what am I here after ? "

A cute item from Bruce Lansky: " You know you're getting old when getting lucky means you've found your car in the parking lot. "

A funny item from Peter Dugdale: " By the time you get to fifty people expect you to be mature, responsible, wise and dignified. This is the time to disillusion them. "  

Thank goodness!

   --- In the the area of expectations I'm afraid that I'm below average  lol.

if you set your expectations low with me, you might not be disappointed.

A funny quote from HL Mencken: " The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. " Truly a very accurate statement  lol.

The older I get the more I distrust other peoples certainties.

Thanks a lot for the post Pam.

Short but cute: " Old age is a very high price to pay for maturity " ( Tom Stoppard ).

Old age gives you more time which is precious.

the age old question of which is better-youthful energy or old wisdom-will never be answered in any way that determines which is better. 

i'm fairly middle aged (51). i remember doing such stupid things 30 years ago. i remember not knowing so many things then. now i have learned more, but i do not have the energy to do what i have done in the past. 

an example for today would be this-i'd rather read about a protest and comment about it than being a part of it. when i was younger, i'd be on the front lines! today, i'd rather focus on policies that result in the protests.
