Topic: There’s an old guy in my neighborhood who is his wife’s and daughter’s prisoner.
Anonymous A started this discussion 3 weeks ago #134,117 He’s 88 and lucid but, predictably, he has some health and locomotion problems. He’s always doing his exercises outside but he’s minded and chided like a toddler. He’s also on some stupid restricted diet, as if that matters. Once you’re past 80, do what you want. I always keep a candy bar in my backpack now in case I see him.

Invite him to visit your house, alone. See what happens. Offer to take him on a boys day out. Alone. Etc.

Strange. Maybe. I don’t know much about old people. My family is big on dropping dead 18-30 years ahead of this guy.

No. I don’t know where that is. I’ll look it up.
