A group of seven friends met at a deli every Saturday morning to solve the problems of the world, but it tended to be the same conversations over and over and they got bored. So they decided to set up a card table at the local farmer’s market and are now the most popular booth there — about 30 to 40 people come by each week to use them as a sounding board and get a different perspective.
Way to go, Old Coots! (I should point out they are all younger than Andy and me.)
Here’s a much less respectful view of old age:

love the market stall “advisers” – and yes they would have loads of fun, learn lots of things that they didn’t know they needed to know…
but the amazon gadget, I think it would be linked to “suri” that is something I have not much clue on, but a bedridden friend of mine, has had some hilarious files pop up – when her helper says to her “what does this mean?” some gabbled string of words that my friend can’t even understand either! And I think she uses it to dictate shopping lists for her shoppers – some strange amounts of food have come home…
Siri is for Apple devices, and, as I understand it, Alexa is for Amazon’s Echo. Apparently Google has a Google assistant that works on both PCs and Mac devices. My devices have Siri but she is always turned off — I’m not interested in having even more information about me going back and forth over the internet. I found this article talking about the differences:

LOL!!! love it. especially the Old Coots group. would love to hear some of their take on things.
I love the old coots, too, but I just showed Andy the video and he said they should seriously think of making an Echo Silver. He loved it. 😀
I am an old coot who gives advice freely solicited or unsolicited!

Only a bunch of old folks (okay, coots), with hundreds of years of experience among them, could turn this into a success. I loved it!
It’s heartwarming, isn’t it? 🙂
Omg, the guy who works for me part time needs a Silver!
He’s only 3 years older than me but he acts 100.
One of our clinic cats is named Loretta but he insists on calling her Lori!
One weekend he called to tell me a boarding cat wasn’t eating and had vomited. I asked who it was and he replied Lamorr. I said La More? Who is that? Did she come in after I left? And he said no. I had him go check and when he said the last name I said OH! Lemur! And he was all indignant and said No, it’s Lamorr! I wanted to scream and say IT’S LEMUR!!! Like the animal, lemur. But I didn’t. Firstly, because as his boss I shouldn’t be screaming and secondly, I’d be fighting a battle I could never win.
(One of the many reasons I’ll never end up in a nursing home!)
Thanks for sharing, it was cute!
Andy says he could use a silver too! 🙂
Old coots giving bad advice? I don’t know about that!
😀
Sounds like those guys could be a lot of fun.
They clearly have a great sense of humor. 🙂
