It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

You can still be happy in your 50s and beyond.

Teach me this skill.

At least until 72 or so. After that it's iffy.

Eh, my parents are pretty happy in their 70s. They still go skiing, travel a ton, etc. Stay active and your 70s can be quite pleasant.

Made me think of this Irish toast:

"Here's to a long life, and a merry one
A quick death, and an easy one
A pretty girl, and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one"

Ideally also long.
