But when you're so old you retire, kids have grown up and moved, lots of friends and family have died, boredom sets in HARD! My elderly father had a three month 'feud' with a clothing store because he bought the wrong size shirt from them. Whereas a normal person with time limits and a busy schedule would just exchange it, he made phone calls, wrote letters and ven threatened legal action against the store (frivolously) Old people need hobbies.
Your partially correct....but some elderly people are not as sharp mentally as when they were your age. Brain cells deteriorate-and that's a scientific fact.
My grandmother was razor-sharp mentally even at 90...but she knew NOTHING about cars. I truly do not think she had ever learned to pump gas until she was 60+. (My uncle, my wife and I dealt with any mechanical work.)
