  • Old People Having Sex - Amazing

    Here's a personal story I've probably told before but it has some small bearing today as it is about Viagra and when I think about it now and then these 17 years later, it still amuses me and makes me... Read More...

  • What Should Be Elders' Place in Society?

  • Those Annoying Old Age Memory Glitches
