I'm the same. I was a caretaker for seniors for some time and it really depressed me. The whole steady decline, reliance upon others and meaninglessness of life makes me not want to live to that age. But I don't think i'll ever get to that point. I would hate to be a burden to people. The day I have to start wearing diapers, someone has my permission to off me.

This is so me! No one seems to understand my sense of humor! My FIL has kind of an odd sense of humor, which I like; I get his jokes, but instead of instantly laughing I will play along like it's serious, trying to joke along and I just get this look from him like, "I was making a joke, you didn't get it!"That does seem to describe how my IEE friend is around her duals. She comes up with zany little comments all the time and they just don't blink, and roll with whatever she says. They also don't make a big deal out of it, like call attention to it being a joke, but rather 'accept' the reality of it and play it deadpan. Umm, maybe I'm explaining this badly. I'll try to give an example.
