We must fight this now! (For us old-timers.)

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We MUST Stop This Immediately...!
Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper .. Groceries are
heavier. And, everything is farther away. Yesterday I walked to the
corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our street had
become!
And, you know, people are less considerate now, especially the young
ones. They speak in whispers all the time! If you ask them to speak up
they just keep repeating themselves, endlessly mouthing the same silent
message until they're red in the face! What do they think I am, a lip
reader?
I also think they are much younger than I was at the same age. On the
other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am. I ran into
an old friend the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't
even recognize me! I got to thinking about the poor dear while I was
combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my own
reflection . well, REALLY NOW - even mirrors are not made the way they
used to be!
Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days! You're risking life
and limb if you happen to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I
can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully fast, the way I see them
screech and swerve in my rear view mirror.
Clothing manufacturers are less civilized these days. Why else would
they suddenly start labelling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do
they think no one notices? And, the people who make bathroom scales
are pulling the same prank. Do they think I actually 'believe' the
number I see on that dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that
much! Just who do these people think they're fooling?
I'd like to call up someone in authority to report what's going on, but
the telephone company is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the
phone books in such small type that no one could ever find a number in
there!
All I can do is pass along this warning: WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone will have to
suffer these awful indignities.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN
GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS: I am sending this to you in a larger font size, because something
has happened to my computer's fonts - they are smaller than they once
were.

just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

Hi, Thomas. When I read M's post, my response was much like yours,
but I wasn't going to post it. Thanks for doing it for me.

Old is as old does. Sometimes I feel very, very old, but I've decided to
do something about it; I'm going to ask Wynne for some modern music, you
know, the stuff without a melody and with words you can't understand.
Argh! I'm channelling my mother!

I don't remember who said/wrote it, but I've seen the following quote:
"We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we
stop playing."
