As far as scams are concerned, I trust no one, so I don't worry about being scammed.
I really don't have mixed feelings - I'm 68 and can't roll back time, but Lord knows I sure wouldn't want to anyway. I am what I am - the sum total of what I've lived and learned all these years. When I hit 65, I didn't automatically become elderly, frail, and incapable of sound reasoning. It truly baffles me that society in general looks upon seniors this way. Don't tell me that I "can't" do something - either physically or mentally - cuz thems fightin' words. I'll prove you wrong or almost die tryin"....... I just happen to feel that too many seniors are stiffled by the "younger" generations.
