Do you know the best thing about this forum?

[Tim Brownson]

It's the amount of younger people that come here. I feel like an old fart! Maybe that's because I am one, but that's not the point.

The open-mindedness and willingness to learn new stuff gives me hope for this generation. I hope you all vote wherever on the planet you live

Just thought I'd share that.

The best thing is their young-ness rubs off on us old farts! I'm getting younger every day.

My vote though for the very best thing about these forums is the real relationships I've formed with incredible caring, smart, articulate people I would've never met otherwise.

My vote for the best thing on here is the ability to have nice intelligent conversation, and even be vulnerable at times without being pounded on.

It's really not! At first, you're always as old as you feel you are, and at second, being older means more experiences.

The open-mindedness and willingness to learn new stuff gives me hope for this generation.

Me, too. But I find it extremely useful to communicate with more experienced people, because we can profit from each other.

But I'm wondering if I'm already qualifying as "old fart", too ;-)

I do. I really do. And I hope it makes a difference.

Some of the best thoughts on here come from the oldies, I think. This site attracts the best of the aged.

[Lola]

Here sweetie, I'll get it for yo---oh sh*t! My hip! Lemme see if I can snag it with my cane. Wait. Who are you?

[Alex2007]

what is "wellbutrin" Angela?

I agree. Best ideas come from the old and experienced!

It happens that best ideas came also from the ugliest old men !

This is Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. Look at him here.

So many people are hold by his ideas!

Wellbutrin is an antidepressant, for those of us who are dismayed at the idea of being "aged."

I agree... we are a very open-minded generation.



I like learning from older people on the board though... people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, who have far more life experience than any of the people I see on a day to day basis.


you've gotta learn from the best!

Seriously? They told me it would give me energy, and I shouldn't take it too close to bedtime.

The best thing to me is the supporting and positive environment.

This also rubs of on you.

No thats the irony.

Pretty dark irony though hehe.
