20+ Boomer Technology Struggle Posts For Coots Who Can’t Check Their Email
Not all baby boomers are bad at technology; only most of them are. I thank the universe daily that my parents aren’t so old that they can’t write an email or post to Facebook without accidentally posting a blurry picture of their befuddled faces.

It’s got to have been difficult being an older person when computers and cell phones went mainstream.

Bitter Old Haters Criticize Hot Grandma For Her Fashion, Youngsters Rush to Her Defense
Women are told what to wear and how to look at every age. You’d think by the time you were a senior citizen, your peers would cut you some slack about your appearance, but that is unfortunately not the case. Older people can be the most judgemental critics of others’ appearances. If I hear one …

Wildest Posts From the Depths of Facebook (August 20, 2023)
In recent times, Mark Zuckerberg has become almost respectable-looking purely because Elon Musk has chosen him as an enemy.
