The absolutely correct reaction

Omg yes I’ve been seeing those more often lately

I love people sometimes

Yeah, July 2022, a 500 acre fire in Texas was caused by glass in a garbage can magnifying the sun and igniting papers. It burned 5 homes and took 8 days to contain.

Yeah, 'cause others wear vampires

How about devouring an entire take and bake chibatta loaf fresh from the oven?

I felt that too

I would absolutely participate in this! Not sure if I count as "silly," but I've learned a lot from eccentric old women, and i would appreciate any pearls of wisdom they decide to impart on me.

I was thinking about this in the night. Can we have platonic match making sites please where we pair up eccentric old ladies with 12 cats with young women with no cats that want cats but dont have time to be responsible pet owners yet. Like borrow my doggy but like chat over cats.... (Cats used for this example but all manor of interests that are not for the purpose of forming a romantic relationship)

I'm old. And weird. And learned a lot. Where do I sign up?

I'm 62, old enough to be the mother of every person my office, and when I tell "back in the day" stories, they're like, "wow, really?" and then Google it to check it out.

Oh, this would be great! I've been looking for a way to exercise more old lady eccentricity in a useful way and enjoy the optimism of the young.

The church I used to go to had an adopt-a-grandparent ministry. Absolutely loved it.

Sign this b***h up!!

How about a matchmaking service where a faithful house-spouse can find a gay BFF to go dancing at the club? ...Please?

I'm available. So much sage advice and life lessons to share; make your own money, education and learning is very important for every woman, don't depend on anyone but yourself, wait to have children - if ever, who says you have to be married, don't ever give the key to your happiness to someone else to hold, go ahead and cut your hair - it'll grow back, love with your brain - kiss with your heart, nothing wrong with a little bit of dessert, its okay to say NO, not everyone has to be your friend, you are more valuable and worthwhile than you give yourself credit for, (that being said) don't let others define your value and worth... and so much more.

We need each other.

*Flicks kettle switch and runs to find fluffy pillows for couch* I am so IN!

I am an eccentric "old" woman and I would absolutely love this!

That would be perfect! So much better to spread the wisdom than to "invent the bicycle" over and over again from scratch.

I would absolutely love this!

Eccentric older lady here, yes please do this. It's good to mentor the next generation.

That would be awesome.

I would love to do this. I'll be the eccentric old woman.

My local city has a Facebook page for this

I am eccentric, but not quite "old" can I still join?

Is that you and your mother when you're grown?

Seeking Dorothy Parker.

That sounds delightful

I don't have a filter so this could go bad

I would definitely sign up. I had the pleasure of having an eccentric, wise older lady as my Uber driver years ago. It was a longer ride so we got to talking. She ended up giving me a relationship advice on my then boyfriend (now husband).

Do it!

Sign me up

I have an 11 yr old niece (ok will be 12 in 2 months so I should start practicing saying she is 12 according to her). We have been sharing life for a large number of those years. Auntie why do you have cracks (I discussed people can smile and laugh through life and get cracks, or never smile or laugh and have not cracks. I earned every crack with joy). We had the why didn't u get married - no one had the courage to travel my journey. This turned into a 2 hr discussion of travel while looking a photographs of my many journeys and things I learned about myself. We then discussed if you could be married and travel and my response was if you find the right person, then how do you know they are the right person? I celebrate her successes, her courage to try, how in awe of her I am. Oh and there is - you are silly but I like it. I wish everyone a young girl to remind you of how great your life has been.

mee toooo

There should be a site called Only Nans where you can chat to grandma's and they can teach you to bake or knit or whatever they want to pass onto people. Say you want to make a traditional pot roast, so a nan sends you a list of ingredients and a time to connect, them she goes through the recipe step by step with you.

I'm in!

Eccentric old woman here. Where do I sign up?
