Aye, but my grannie and most likely yours lived a much rougher life than I did.

Working and making it all work took a hell of a lot of effort just 50 years ago.

We didn't know that most ulcers were caused by a bug in our gut and we had real doctors telling us that one particular brand of cigarettes was better than another for petes sake.

One of the reasons they choose the age of 65 for the beginning ate of social security was because only about 6% of the population lived that long.
Now they are moving it up to 70 and they would go straight to 80 if they thought there wouldn't be riots in the streets.


ETA: Folks not too very long ago were rode hard and put away wet for decades on end.
