I Weep For The Future....

"Old minded?"
"Old guys?"
"Old codgery?"
Lions, and tigers and bears, Oh, my... welcome to the geritol forum!

I hope you didn't take offense to my adjectives. I just call it like I see it, no disrespect intended.
I'm not the most social person. I have in the past described myself as "socially retarded."
I would not put it past myself to inadvertently say something across-the-line insensitive.
If I did, I apologize.
 
Same here, No Offence, and no disrespect taken or given, just having fun... However, for the light of the forum... do you know what Geritol is?
 
But I can't afford to adopt your mindset; I can't afford to view the world through goggles of old codgery, since I'll have to live here in the thick of it for many more decades.
Living another 50 years, ****** off by everything I see and hear around me? Looking at every man I see as an effeminate moron? Who wants to live in that?

When I was in my 20's and 30's, I had not yet been fully exposed to the folly of human nature...certainly time changed that. Given enough time and exposure, I suspect you will too. As far as being ****** off by everything..well, the only thing that truly pisses me off is when I see someone jeopardizing their safety or the safety of others.

I've been an electrical engineer (PE) most of my life, unfortunately I've seen multiple deaths due to bad practices and lack of respect or understanding of the danger by the folks performing a job. I also (over time) became the responsible engineer for projects that could cause death and injury to the public if something went wrong....so I tended to be a little paranoid over the capacity of the human race to do stupid things. All it takes is one person or one accident to completely ruin a career. I could not afford to adopt any other mindset.

I've certainly heard the name a few times before, mostly used in jokes as you used it.
Before you asked, I associated it with old people but didn't know really what it was.
Googled it just now, just vitamins?
