In this episode of "You Still Have Time," we discuss the question of how old is too old, inspired by Nancy Pelosi's decision not to run for re-election at age 85. We highlight that 112 members of Congress are over 70, with 11 between 80 and 90, and one at 91. We emphasize the importance of self-awareness and honesty about one's abilities, especially in professional roles.

In this episode of the You Still Have Time podcast, we explore the subject of hand me downs - not in the traditional sense of second hand clothes but as a metaphor for the values, traditions and histories passed down through generations. What do we chose to preserve, what gets lost and how do these choices shape who we are

This is a lighthearted but genuine conversation about the everyday frustrations of aging, based on input from people over 60. We share personal stories and common complaints that reflect both physical limitations and annoyances with modern conveniences.

Key Issues Raised

• Low seating and toilets: Chairs, couches, and toilets that are too low or too soft make standing difficult, especially without armrests.
• Difficult packaging: “Child-proof” or “easy-open” packaging often requires scissors or knives, frustrating older adults who may also struggle with diminished hand strength.
• Stairs and accessibility: Stairs without railings and venues without elevators are barriers.
• Loud environments: Restaurants and music venues with blasting sound make it difficult to converse or enjoy the experience.
• Standing-only events: Concerts or clubs without seating alienate older attendees.
• Noise pollution: Complaints about loud cars, motorcycles, and booming car stereos disrupting peace at home.
• Digital frustrations:
  • Online forms with scrolling birthdate selectors feel endless.
  • QR code menus create inconvenience compared to simple paper menus.
• Driving challenges: Blinding bright headlights and age-related vision issues make night driving stressful.
• Late-night events: Programs starting at 10 PM are unappealing; many prefer early evening activities.
• Aging bodies: Declining strength, joint problems, dental issues, hearing loss, and difficulty opening jars make daily life harder.

Attitudinal Problems

Condescension from younger people: Older adults dislike being spoken to as if they are incompetent, especially with technology or self-checkouts.

• Mockery: Some younger people make fun of habits like using a handwritten shopping list.
• Fast or low talking: Service workers who speak too quickly or too softly create extra frustration.
