Today, while moving into my new place, I saw my new, elderly neighbor sitting on her porch. I cheerfully greeted her with, "Hello, how are you?" She simply rocked slowly in her chair and replied, "Just waiting to die." She was the most cheerful person I met all day. FML

Go back tomorrow and talk to her, cheer her up and ask her about her life. It's always interesting to listen to elderly people talk about how the world used to be.

Are you assuming OP should have said "oh I'll help you with that."

I honestly can't fathom the sheer amount of courage that the elderly have. They know that they're going to die very soon with nothing to do to stop it yet they still progress through day to day life. I mean, I know that any one of us younger people could die at any time too, but it still doesn't really linger on the mind.

We all die, it's not courage but meet acceptance. Most live happily with memories of having lived such a wonderful life I know my great grandmother who died recently never thought about the coming days in her hospital and her last words to me were "where are you going to take me next?"

There is a special place in hell for people who use YOLO. It's between the Justin Bieber fans and grammar nazis. I believe it is located somewhere around the 7th circle.

You misunderstood, 52. Grammar Nazis don't get sent to the 7th circle of Hell... We work there.

Whose hell is it when you spend eternity futilely attempting to correct other people's grammar?

#73 It means "You Only Live Once". Began a word around the time "swag" has, and that's why everyone hates it.
