A cool thing my parents used to do for Christmas.

Amber @AmbiePam (94517) • United States 10 Dec

Why Are Senior Citizens So Much More Talkative Than People My Age?

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1117) • United States 13 Dec

I'm in my 40s and always noticed older people being pleasant and talkative. I have no social media or "smart" phone.. I spent my 20s traveling the world. People I know all stay home, and so do I.. It seems like begging trying to...

Thelma I think those talkative older people are alone at home and no one to talk to. That’s why they like to chat even to strangers,
