'This over-confidence presumably causes older adults to repeat information to people.'" Now you know!

Supposed to rain on Friday. Could use it, I guess. Rain makes my back hurt. Swallowed a bottle cap last night. Thought it was one of my back pills.
Reckon it'll show up sooner or later.

I was wondering where this was going.
But then, my sense of direction isn't what it used to be.
You forgot belligerent. The older one gets, the more pronounced these characteristics get.
Sad, I didn't even notice. What does THAT mean?
Never mind.
