My mum calls me lazy.

All children deserve loving parents but not all parents deserve children. Hope youโ€™re able to get enough money together to move away ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ

I knew I'd go grey.

Its all how you look at it.

Now that I'm older, I've got a really cool silver stripe in my mouse-brown hair. I'm more cushiony for my children and pets to hug and snuggle. Sometimes an ache or pain will slow me down and make me take time to look around and think, not just go go go.

I haven't yet come up with a positive way of looking at wrinkles. Can anyone help me out?

Theyโ€™re not wrinkles, theyโ€™re laugh lines ๐Ÿ˜Š

Being 'green'.

Yeah I was being overly sensitive when I wrote that.

Being 'green'.

I wrote this long response and then deleted it because who cares, people listen to formulate their own responses, not comprehend, honestly it doesnโ€™t really matter what I think in the grand scheme of things anyways.

Is there not a hair dye for men with facial hair?

Dad just uses regular hair dye and itโ€™s always worked for him.

Yeah, the older generation doesn't realize that maybe going green wasn't an option back in the day. On the other side, I can see this as an opportunity for the older generation to live a healthier future

Odd. It would be nearly impossible to say what you have after having actually read the Post.
What "Older Generation" exactly are you referring to? The generation that was raised up on wood, paper, parchment, glass and iron...or....the generation raised up plastic, styrofoam and other petroleum related products?
I don't think you know the meaning of "green" as well as you think. The chances are, every diaper that was cenched to the a$$ of your generation can still be found in an overseas dumpsite....
Meanwhile, the cloth diapers that graced my rear was laundered and in the end, found their way into dads garage where they were used for automotive rags - and those were burned when their purpose was completely finished.

Hey hey hey, now, my generation didnโ€™t invent plastic or push it on anyone. Itโ€™s such a popular thing nowadays to hate on millennials but if you want to blame anyone, really, you should be blaming the baby boomer generation for that. I donโ€™t know why itโ€™s my fault that the baby boomers were wasteful and gave two *****shits about reusing/recycling.

Although I guess the blame game isnโ€™t exactly the most helpful thing to do.

Being 'green'.

The silent generation were certainly more resourceful and less wasteful than later generations. They had to be after living through the Great Depression. My dad is at the cusp of that generation. (Literally he was born the very first year of the baby boomer generation - 1946.) He rips off pieces of paper towels to use, god forbid I use the air conditioning, and if thereโ€™s a way to reuse a grocery bag, heโ€™s found it. Iโ€™ve adapted a few of those things, but I could definitely be better.

Every single generation has its good and bad. That generation chose to dump their toxic waste into rivers and streams so ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

It is a year..

It did, and then it didnโ€™t, and now there are more people on it again. Maybe not as many as before, but Iโ€™ll take the upswing of activity as a good sign :)

I donโ€™t have any grey hair yet but my husband started to go grey when he was a teenager. Heโ€™s not bothered by it. My dad on the other hand still dyes his mustache and heโ€™s 72. So do what makes you comfortable/happy!
