Thank you for sharing that @Wiseoldone — what an unexpected and fascinating bit of your history! I imagine that must’ve been quite the experience, especially in the 1960s when things were really shifting socially. Was it the sense of freedom that drew you to it, or were you just curious to try something different at the time? Either way, it sounds like a bold and memorable chapter in your life!
Thanks for sharing that @jerry — how wonderful! Playing guitar and singing country music is such a great talent, and I bet it brings a lot of joy to those around you. Do you perform for family and friends, or just for your own enjoyment? And do you have a favorite country artist or song to sing?
Thank you so much for sharing your story @Shirley S. — it’s truly inspiring! From a career in television to becoming a karaoke DJ in your 60s and 70s—what a fun and vibrant journey you've had.
Your adopted dog sounds like a wonderful companion too. What kind of dog is he or she? And do you still sing for fun now and then? I imagine you must have some great karaoke favorites!Thanks for sharing that @Arkie98 ! I love your attitude—there’s something so refreshing about not “acting your age,” whatever that even means these days.
Being 84, full of energy, and standing tall in spirit (even if not quite 5 foot!) is something to be proud of. What do you enjoy doing to stay active? And have people always mistaken you for being younger than you are?Thanks for sharing @Betty T ! That’s always such a nice compliment when people are surprised by your age—it says a lot about your energy and presence.
Do you think it’s your outlook, lifestyle, or maybe even good genes that keep people guessing? We'd love to know your secret!Thank you for sharing that @Clownmom — what a fun and unexpected twist! I love the name Pockets—such a creative idea, and I’m sure the kids absolutely adore picking your pockets for little surprises.
Do you still perform as Pockets from time to time? And how did you first get into clowning alongside your teaching career?Thanks for sharing that @Machbaby — what a compliment to be mistaken for someone in your 40s at 67! You must have some amazing genes or a wonderfully youthful spirit (maybe both!).
Have people always guessed you younger, even when you were younger? And do you think there’s a secret to staying youthful, or is it just how you carry yourself?
No twin tricks as we are totally different. Sad to say we really do not get along so over the years it has been a hostile living situation.
