Wishing everyone another amazing weekend free from LVM

I see this with so many elderly couples. I don't think I have ever seen an old lady who isn't at least trying to look decent when she goes out in public despite her age while their husbands could usually be mistaken for homeless men. And at least a homeless man has an excuse to look (and smell...) like this.

My grandmother died when she was 95. She had beginning dementia and a multitude of other health problems and had to wear a diaper by the end but you bet that she insisted on putting on a fresh blouse, doing her hair or wearing a hat/bonnet, wearing her jewellery and perfume and looking decent whenever she was expecting visitors, doesn't matter if it was family, friends, the doctor, a delivery person or the gardener.

Yup, you could be describing my late 99yo wheelchair bound great grandmother as well. Even in a nursing home, she refused to let them cut her long beautiful hair and insisted on maintaining and braiding it nicely. Women seem to care about themselves until the end where the "letting themselves go" is male projection.

I've noticed that too. Older women will get their hair done, wear nice jewellery and present themselves well. Men don't care. They all look like drowned rats

And no doubt she ran herself into the ground doing everything for 60 years
