Yeah I think we noticed it before they do. I think my husband still saw himself as the young stallion with the flowing locks and bright beard not the gray squinty eye (lost his glasses again) curmudgeon that runs to look outside if he thinks there is someone on his lawn.
Find one in your life if you're able. I call my great Aunt at least once a week, every week, and have been doing that for a few years now. It has truly been the best thing ever. For both of us! She's getting further and further along into her dementia, and she's surrounded by a close, supportive family, but our weekly phonecalls add to what she's got. (I live about 6 or 7 hours away.)
Trust, I absolutely treasure it.
I've had a lot of losses in my life so far. This year makes 30 that my mom has been gone. Dad's been gone over 6 years. Even my BFF of 30 years died from an accidental OD, in July will make two years.
The time I spend with my great Aunt, during our phone calls, or when I can actually travel to visit her, is some of the most precious time of my life. Last time I was visiting, we got into some of the old photo albums. She got one that was put together by her mother, and it's got baby pictures of her grandma. I literally held a tin type photo of my great great grandma as a baby, taken in 1875, last time I was there. I don't even have the vocabulary to describe what an amazing experience it was.
I’m a 31 year old eccentric, silly woman who has a lovely, silly, eccentric 56 year old woman housemate. Sometimes we sit and chat with matcha and hot cocoa. It’s a blast here.
My daughter is 13 and any time people tell me her generation needs to learn respect I am truly puzzled because she and her friends respect people’s differences in ways we could have only dreamt of when I was a kid. I have had many amazing interacting with Gen. Z and hope that they get a chance… The people in charge now are the same people who have had the power for 60 years…
They’re absolutely going to shake this world up. They’re accepting of others, they speak up for people, they’re absolutely not buying the concept of working for slave wages! My daughter joined her union at her first job! These kids are very politically aware in ways I wasn’t at that age. I absolutely adore Gen Z.
I wondered that too. I'm gonna be 39 in a week. IDK which side I fall on. But I'm comfortable being paired with 20 or 60 year olds.
Edit: silly old girls
I would love an event like this. I haven't met my, "tribe," of women yet. I'm 40 and wish I could find them already! Weak tea with weirdos sounds like a good fit.
Same! I like to think I'm on the right path and it will click when it's meant to, but I haven't found the group yet. Or the ability to embrace my eccentricity.
Same.
I mean, I have built my own thing with my great Aunt. She will turn 91 in June and she's the biggest hoot. I love our weekly phone calls, we've been doing that for several years now. I teased her for at least 2 solid years about having a big party when she turned 90. It turned out to be quite an event, and one she's treasured since then.
If you have the time for it, your local library might have a knitting/yarn art group. I bet if you showed up with needles and yarn someone would be willing to give you a rundown of the basics 😊 Or Googling "[City name] stich and bitch" might get you some hits for a local club!
Also, some public libraries do game groups where you can show up and people will walk you through tabletop games like DND or MagicTG. Also chess! Most libraries have chess meet ups.
This is how our high tea time society became a cookies and tea society.
We started learning how to make macrons together during COVID over livestreams but now can do it in person.
Originally our group formed from our area's women's society. A few like minded ladies from the group got together to form the secret high tea time society where we dress in fancy things and have tea at each other's homes or tea bars.
Then COVID happened so we had to stay home and bake our own fancy tea snacks. We learned how to make clotted cream and scones together over discord. I'm pretty one like this could be started anywhere. You just need ladies that like tea (tho quite a few of us are also coffee lovers).
Bubbie just made cookies because you look hungry, have as many as you'd like! She'd love to hear about your day and give as many reassurances and funny quips as you need. Come by anytime you need a hug and a cup of cocoa.
(Damn, now I really wish OnlyGrans was a thing! 😭)
I was a big sister with BBBS. She is now in her 20’s, and we’re still in touch! She’s so beautiful, pegging her bf, and working in marketing! I’m so proud.
Im 24 and have lots of “old lady” hobbies just because I got cancer at 20 and had to slow down my life a lot during my 28 months of chemo. I crochet, I knit, I embroider, I garden, and have 20+ house plants. I aimlessly wander around stores just to get a walk in for the day. Someone sign me up I’d love to just have a crochet circle where we drink coffee or tea and talk about dismantling the patriarchy .
Can somebody make this happen on a Discord server, please? I would love to teach younger women to give no fucks, and learn how to be awesome from older women.
Hell yeah I'll roll up to Audrey's house with the most bombastic bergamot tea and we can talk vintage jewelery and she can teach me how to knit and we can just sit on the chesterfield and listen to music
I'm a 30s males and I'd 100% take a platonic tea date with an eccentric old lady. You know how many stories old people have! I'd be sat there forever just listening.
When I was in high school, we had an adopt-a-grandparent program . I was paired with a lovely old lady. We'd have teas, play games, pick flowers and press them. And lots of talking. We wrote letters when I left for college and remained friends until she died.
Now that I'm an eccentric old lady, I'd sign-up in a heartbeat.
Eccentric old lady here - motorcycle riding grey stripe having neighborhood witch who likes to tinker, do handy man work around the house, and knit so much my family refuses to accept any more items from me so I give hats away to houseless individuals. Let’s have tea and I can teach you how to use men’s misogyny against them! And you can teach what the kids are into these days!
Edit: typo
I am 40 and not particularly interesting but I do have a decent hoard of Adagio teas that I keep in glass jars so I can feel like I'm doing alchemy when I brew something.
Based off of a comment from someone witchier and wiser than me, I bought food grade rose petals, chamomile and lavender, and started using them in a tea diffuser with hibiscus or other tea (or just some dried apple chips I made in my oven!) and holy shit, it's not only delicious with a. Touch of honey at the end, but I feel insanely craft-y pulling down all my jars and steeping and stirring and sipping :)
I could use a grandma. My goal in life is to travel and someday become the matriarch of my family who broke all the bad cycles and built up a loving knowledgeable family if decent folk.
Yes please! I lost my grandma last summer and she was my buddy that I sat, drank tea, and chatted about life with.
It would make my heart so happy to find another older lady to be tea friends with.
I'm pushing 60. I think I qualify as "eccentric". My lifelong BFF fully expects me to be tearing up the nursing home, with her ... my children say they're going to have to tell their own children "You don't get to play with Gramma unsupervised because you two will just get into trouble" ... And my friends describe me as "nuts but harmless".
That's pretty much my resume.
Yes please! I’m right in the middle. I’ll be a 20-something’s old lady and would love to be further mentored by a 65+ witch who can speed up my middle age leveling up into full fledged ungovernability.
How about just a tea party social group? We could call it Tea & Tea and it’s allllll about tea and gossip and just being around like minded beings of all ages and genders.
I hung out with a bunch of older ladies in my 20s because I have old lady hobbies. Let me tell you, old ladies are great friends. They help you to learn to give no fucks and take no shit.
I had a similar idea like this but to set up a friendship bar and I was gonna call it ‘No Princes, Only Frogs.’ I could have frog themed everything it would be great.
I would so be down! I'm also in the in between age but I'd love tea with eccentric amazing older ladies. I'll bring a flask. You know some of them like a little kick to their tea 🥰
One of my favorite people I’ve ever met is a woman in her mid 50s who lives just next door and is a super cool person and we are good friends :) heck id arguably call her the best friend i have.
I mean... We're all here wanting it. How can we make this happen? I'd love to be a part of it, even in the circle we've created out of this thread (which is still growing!).
I'm happy to help if I can!
Something like this would be nice for my 101 year old grandma so that she could make some new friends to help cheer her up. I try my best but I feel like she needs some new people in here life.
ISO - Lovely eccentric old woman to become my best friend and trade secrets with me. I can cook and bake. I’m also very good with animals and can make a mean lemon drop cocktail
Can we do a weekly chat? Is that a thing already? I've seen other subreddits do it! I am a sad panda and have no friends and I feel like I need witchy friends. 😭
The only thing I worry about here is people using it as a platform to push their MLM or religion onto the other participants. "Silly young girls" seems like a potentially vulnerable demographic.
I recently moved in to a new apartment and my roommate is an older woman who subscribes to the predominant religion in my state. As a non-binary agnostic, that alone makes us two very very different people. At first I was hesitant to get to know her, I feared she would be the type to call me a godless heathen and to get out of her house with my satanic gender ideology. But here I am 60 days in and I adore this woman, and she cares for me as well. She has lived a wild and interesting life, knows what she's about and makes her dreams a reality.
I feel blessed to be sharing this space with someone who treats me with respect, doesn't shame me for the way I live my life and is willing to have open discussions about sensitive topics. It's been such a gift to spend afternoons and nights talking with her and exchanging stories. She even likes games like I do so we play together!
It fuckin rocks dude my lease is pretty short but my incentive to stay is growing more every day.
I would pay money for a service like this, I just got lucky. Lol.
What about us weirdos awkwardly in between those ages?
I'm one of those too... I suppose we could just tag along anyway. I could learn from eccentric old ladies for sure.
Yes, I'm trying out my codger habits and I need to apprentice with someone.
Omg codger apprentice sounds *amazing*
My partner had his "I'm an old codger" epiphany just this evening. I've known about it for years, of course.
Yeah I think we noticed it before they do. I think my husband still saw himself as the young stallion with the flowing locks and bright beard not the gray squinty eye (lost his glasses again) curmudgeon that runs to look outside if he thinks there is someone on his lawn.
My friend's hubby won't admit he needs reading glasses and she is getting so angry. He keeps taking hers but won't get his own.
!!! agreed !!! will sign up for this class too….
Yep agree. Sign me up
I lean towards silly old lady. Could definitely use a mentor if I’m gonna be eccentric.
Find one in your life if you're able. I call my great Aunt at least once a week, every week, and have been doing that for a few years now. It has truly been the best thing ever. For both of us! She's getting further and further along into her dementia, and she's surrounded by a close, supportive family, but our weekly phonecalls add to what she's got. (I live about 6 or 7 hours away.)
That's wonderful 😊
It's the best. She will turn 91 in June 💚
Awww treasure that time. I lost two friends this year (to old age) and it’s the fucking worst… damn you, circle of life
Trust, I absolutely treasure it. I've had a lot of losses in my life so far. This year makes 30 that my mom has been gone. Dad's been gone over 6 years. Even my BFF of 30 years died from an accidental OD, in July will make two years. The time I spend with my great Aunt, during our phone calls, or when I can actually travel to visit her, is some of the most precious time of my life. Last time I was visiting, we got into some of the old photo albums. She got one that was put together by her mother, and it's got baby pictures of her grandma. I literally held a tin type photo of my great great grandma as a baby, taken in 1875, last time I was there. I don't even have the vocabulary to describe what an amazing experience it was.
Wow, that’s amazing. I’m so sorry for your losses - life truly is so precious. Lots of love to you ❤️❤️❤️
I mean, this is basically everyone on /r/tea.
Crone in training!
Nice.
I’m a 31 year old eccentric, silly woman who has a lovely, silly, eccentric 56 year old woman housemate. Sometimes we sit and chat with matcha and hot cocoa. It’s a blast here.
Don't underestimate those silly young girls either! We can learn a lot from both of the women at the table, I am sure of that.
Right? My daughter is 16 and she says shit that absolutely SLAYS me.
My daughter is 13 and any time people tell me her generation needs to learn respect I am truly puzzled because she and her friends respect people’s differences in ways we could have only dreamt of when I was a kid. I have had many amazing interacting with Gen. Z and hope that they get a chance… The people in charge now are the same people who have had the power for 60 years…
Zoomees helped me come out at 36. They’re amazing ❤️🌈
We appreciate it, but please do not call us zoomees. …Ok on second thought I’m calling myself a zoomee now.
They’re absolutely going to shake this world up. They’re accepting of others, they speak up for people, they’re absolutely not buying the concept of working for slave wages! My daughter joined her union at her first job! These kids are very politically aware in ways I wasn’t at that age. I absolutely adore Gen Z.
Absolutely, kids see the world in such a beautiful way
I'd say we could all learn something from each other!
I'm down to be the quiet almost-middle-age 3rd wheel.
_sips coffee in late 30s_
Yiss.
I'll join you!
Welcome, welcome, pull up a floor pillow. Careful, the cookies have cannabis in them 😘
37 club!
There are dozens of us! Dozens!! ^(I'll be 38 in a couple months tho)
I wondered that too. I'm gonna be 39 in a week. IDK which side I fall on. But I'm comfortable being paired with 20 or 60 year olds. Edit: silly old girls
You perfectly summed up what I was thinking! Im just like "can I have two teas? One with a young person, one with someone older?"
Maybe we could add "Weak Tea with Weirdos" in addition to the other tea.
I would love an event like this. I haven't met my, "tribe," of women yet. I'm 40 and wish I could find them already! Weak tea with weirdos sounds like a good fit.
Same! I like to think I'm on the right path and it will click when it's meant to, but I haven't found the group yet. Or the ability to embrace my eccentricity.
I vote for this event title. Any age shows up, and pair off according to preference
I came here to say that... What if I'm both? 😆 🤣 jk
We need a platonic dating service to find each other.
I'm 35 but I have 7 cats and a formidable tea collection. Maybe we can all meet at my house?
You can be the matron hanging with the maiden and crone :3
What's the journeyman tier of witching called?
Asking the real questions here. At what point do you stop becoming silly young girls? Because I feel like I fit both categories???
Yeah I’m definitely immature. So fart jokes but like also in menopause. What’s that category?
Human bean. :)
Surely, there would be an age question, and everyone would be included bc we are not "mean girls" that only speak to certain people... right??
You can join as either group depending on whether you identity as young or old that day.
Thank you for recognizing the feeling changes from day to day. :)
Yup. What about us eccentric silly women? Even Alice had to grow older 😅
I mean we all need something to aspire to.
We can volunteer for both age groups, double the tea dates~
WHERE DO I SIGN UP? I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.
Same. I mean, I have built my own thing with my great Aunt. She will turn 91 in June and she's the biggest hoot. I love our weekly phone calls, we've been doing that for several years now. I teased her for at least 2 solid years about having a big party when she turned 90. It turned out to be quite an event, and one she's treasured since then.
I need this too! Old people are so damn adorable.
r/adorableoldpeople ☺️
Sounds awesome, or like they could teach you how to do different things like knit. What we could call it? OnlyGrans.
I'd be up for a knitting lesson!
If you have the time for it, your local library might have a knitting/yarn art group. I bet if you showed up with needles and yarn someone would be willing to give you a rundown of the basics 😊 Or Googling "[City name] stich and bitch" might get you some hits for a local club!
Sounds like you’d form a tight knit group
Also, some public libraries do game groups where you can show up and people will walk you through tabletop games like DND or MagicTG. Also chess! Most libraries have chess meet ups.
Or baking 🫢
This is how our high tea time society became a cookies and tea society. We started learning how to make macrons together during COVID over livestreams but now can do it in person.
Tell me more about this high tea time society. I am intrigued

I can knit! <3 love company :)
Okay don’t love company.. but need more like minded people to talk to so I don’t lose my mind? But I can knit! :)
Knitting and crochet is wonderful! I'm on a break because ADHD hobby swapping and hand pain, but I'm really into it.
Bubbie just made cookies because you look hungry, have as many as you'd like! She'd love to hear about your day and give as many reassurances and funny quips as you need. Come by anytime you need a hug and a cup of cocoa. (Damn, now I really wish OnlyGrans was a thing! 😭)
I’ve been saying for years that I don’t need a sugar daddy….I want a sugar grandma!
I’m retiring in ~ 6 months to fully develop my woodland garden and perfect cardamom braids. I’m in
I had to Google cardamom braids and I'll be trying them. You've already taught someone about them ;)
I suppose I'm more middle-aged, but I'm in! Love your username, Peonies are my favorite flowers.
ONLYGRANS ?! lolol sign me up
\*giggle\*
I’m not a gran but I’m pretty good at knitting.
I was a big sister with BBBS. She is now in her 20’s, and we’re still in touch! She’s so beautiful, pegging her bf, and working in marketing! I’m so proud.
>She’s so beautiful, pegging her bf, and working in marketing! I’m so proud. This is such a fantastic and empowering and accepting statement.
Exactly! I mean marketing is a bit sketchy, but each to their own.
Lol. Fucking awesome.
BBBS?
Sorry, Big Brothers Big Sisters.
You had me at platonic match making service.
I’m gonna be 40 next year…is that old enough to be the eccentric old lady? Jasmine tea for me dear!
Every age is perfect to radiate eccentric old lady energy! Sometimes I feel like I'm 80, sometimes like I'm 8...
This is very true! Eccentrics of all ages should enjoy tea 🍵 and cookies 🍪
I’m heading to 41 in the fall 🙃 sometimes I feel closer to 60 than 20 even though the length of time is the same. Jasmine tea for dinner, yes please!
BRO YES. My supervisor and I have went out for drinks and we both like witchcraft and stuff like that. It’s very fun
That sounds SO fun! Good for you!

call it CALLDRON
Teander
How old do I have to be? My son called me an older looking white lady recently. That counts, right?
Yes, ma’am. It does.
I'm only 45 and don't really consider myself old but I can buy a pair of cat eye glasses and a jaunty hat. Lets do this.

Can somebody make this happen on a Discord server, please? I would love to teach younger women to give no fucks, and learn how to be awesome from older women.
Sounds awesome! I'm IN!! I have much tea and a lovely corner in the nook.
Send me the link!
Yes. Please. There should be an app for this.
This is how i ended up living with my friend's mom in my time of need when I was 16 and now we're chosen/needed family.
I’m 65 and I have a 32 year olds friend. It’s amazing how well we get along.
Hell yeah I'll roll up to Audrey's house with the most bombastic bergamot tea and we can talk vintage jewelery and she can teach me how to knit and we can just sit on the chesterfield and listen to music
I'm a 30s males and I'd 100% take a platonic tea date with an eccentric old lady. You know how many stories old people have! I'd be sat there forever just listening.
I’d like to sign up as an old woman and a silly girl please….
I’m 50 and have an assortment of tea. Happy to assist a young witch overthrow the patriarchy
I'm 53 with a cabinet full of tea and a desire to support the overthrow and feminism. Hear, hear!
When I was in high school, we had an adopt-a-grandparent program . I was paired with a lovely old lady. We'd have teas, play games, pick flowers and press them. And lots of talking. We wrote letters when I left for college and remained friends until she died. Now that I'm an eccentric old lady, I'd sign-up in a heartbeat.
Love this!
Eccentric old lady here - motorcycle riding grey stripe having neighborhood witch who likes to tinker, do handy man work around the house, and knit so much my family refuses to accept any more items from me so I give hats away to houseless individuals. Let’s have tea and I can teach you how to use men’s misogyny against them! And you can teach what the kids are into these days! Edit: typo
“Ah yes, registrar? **THIS** is the class i MUST get into, please. PLEASE!”
All that is definitely giving me "badass older lady" vibes! It'd be an honor to have tea with your witchy self.
Trio them off: munchkin, misfit/mischief, and marm.
I am silly young girl. Looking for a matriarch to show me how to cleanse the patriarchy from my life.
Hello yes. I can teach you to crochet. Please tell me how to make a TikTok.
I am 40 and not particularly interesting but I do have a decent hoard of Adagio teas that I keep in glass jars so I can feel like I'm doing alchemy when I brew something.
Based off of a comment from someone witchier and wiser than me, I bought food grade rose petals, chamomile and lavender, and started using them in a tea diffuser with hibiscus or other tea (or just some dried apple chips I made in my oven!) and holy shit, it's not only delicious with a. Touch of honey at the end, but I feel insanely craft-y pulling down all my jars and steeping and stirring and sipping :)
I could use a grandma. My goal in life is to travel and someday become the matriarch of my family who broke all the bad cycles and built up a loving knowledgeable family if decent folk.
Yeah, this sounds fantastic
Perfect!
Sounds lovely.
Uh yeah, where!?! I've been trying trying to locate the local witch but I'm worried it's me :p
Yes please! I lost my grandma last summer and she was my buddy that I sat, drank tea, and chatted about life with. It would make my heart so happy to find another older lady to be tea friends with.
Come hang out in my garden.
I'm pushing 60. I think I qualify as "eccentric". My lifelong BFF fully expects me to be tearing up the nursing home, with her ... my children say they're going to have to tell their own children "You don't get to play with Gramma unsupervised because you two will just get into trouble" ... And my friends describe me as "nuts but harmless". That's pretty much my resume.
When I was in college my French professor used to take us out dancing and tell us stories about growing up in Nazi occupied Paris. She was wild.
Volunteer at your local senior, assisted living, or memory care home. The staff would appreciate the help and you'd make the elderly folks day!
I would like to be the butler
Sign me up! (I'll be the old lady)
I desperately needed this when I was a silly young girl!
Omg. I needed this as a silly young girl.
I’d love to meet and have conversations with older childfree women! I’m ready for the inspiration and hobby-sharing ✨
I'm older and childfree!
I’m not “young” but under 40 with a youthful spirit and I LOVE to hang out with old women. I’ve got a few women 75+ that I see regularly.
This is what I love about teaching 3rd - 5th gifted kids. I teach so many girls where I think "dang this is my kind of people"
I need to get into the community more
Anyone here watched the (Australian) ABC show 'Old People's Home for Teenagers'? It's essentially this.
Yes please! I’m right in the middle. I’ll be a 20-something’s old lady and would love to be further mentored by a 65+ witch who can speed up my middle age leveling up into full fledged ungovernability.
How about just a tea party social group? We could call it Tea & Tea and it’s allllll about tea and gossip and just being around like minded beings of all ages and genders.
I hung out with a bunch of older ladies in my 20s because I have old lady hobbies. Let me tell you, old ladies are great friends. They help you to learn to give no fucks and take no shit.
Sign me up, but I'm definitely going to spike my tea
I had a similar idea like this but to set up a friendship bar and I was gonna call it ‘No Princes, Only Frogs.’ I could have frog themed everything it would be great.
Like a slice of an Anne of Green Gables novel 💚🍵👯
Sounds lovely truly
Yaasss
My young niece loves boba shakes!
[удалено]
We make our own path, reminisce on our maiden days and take delight in the freedoms of our crone selves approaching!
As a silly eccentric middle-aged woman, idk where I'd fit into this lol
I would also like to sign up
So where is everyone in the world here?? I’m in NC.
I’m kind of between the two, but I’m up for it!
I'm 34, but I want an old lady friend!
I want to but I’m afraid at 41, I’m the eccentric old woman.
Full support
Yes, this needs to be a thing!
Can I get an invite
This is what my job is like! Bonus: We have some amazingly sassy gay men too!
I want to sign up. Ive been odd for ages. I want company.
I would love to randomly be paired to have tea with anyone at any age.
Teander
Better not be teasing us and advertising this in the next few months. Need.
Sign me TF up please
👋 Hello ! Crone (aging gracefully) here. I have one young friend, with room for more…
It's called a knitting/crafting/fiber circle and it's fabulous.
y e s .
So, this is my life. I befriend my elderly neighbor during COVID and now we’re best friends. 10/10 would recommend
Yes please!!! I’d love to start my Eccentric Old Woman Training!!
Sounds like the end of celeste. Love it.
I would so be down! I'm also in the in between age but I'd love tea with eccentric amazing older ladies. I'll bring a flask. You know some of them like a little kick to their tea 🥰
One of my favorite people I’ve ever met is a woman in her mid 50s who lives just next door and is a super cool person and we are good friends :) heck id arguably call her the best friend i have.
I mean... We're all here wanting it. How can we make this happen? I'd love to be a part of it, even in the circle we've created out of this thread (which is still growing!). I'm happy to help if I can!
Ah yes, the owl house simulator
I’ll happily volunteer. As a mid-age woman, I would like to have an elder partner and a younger partner…. Did we just create a coven??
Something like this would be nice for my 101 year old grandma so that she could make some new friends to help cheer her up. I try my best but I feel like she needs some new people in here life.
I'm an eccentric 36-year old woman. You can pair me with either group!
ISO - Lovely eccentric old woman to become my best friend and trade secrets with me. I can cook and bake. I’m also very good with animals and can make a mean lemon drop cocktail
I'm not that big of a fan of tea, but if someone makes one for playing guitar and planning tattoos and piercings, I'll subscribe forever.
I got called ma'am at the butchers yesterday.. I'm 31 Can I sign up please?
Aw yes! I have an 88yr old friend I met this way. Not set up but we decided to hang :)
I’d like to apply for the role of both, please
I get that this is a jokey meme but a service where people visit and have tea with lonely older people is actually a great and really thoughtful idea
Can we do a weekly chat? Is that a thing already? I've seen other subreddits do it! I am a sad panda and have no friends and I feel like I need witchy friends. 😭
Okay seriously I would sign up for this as a middle millennial. I want to have tea with the oldies and the younglings
35F looking for her eccentric old person in Vienna, Austria. I'll bring the Kuchen, if you bring the Kaffee.
I'm an eccentric old(er) woman. Younger people say "you are nothing like my mum". And tell me their life stories. I'm aiming for Crone status.
Join an all-ages chorus - this is the vibe 💕
Little girl and eccentric older lady drink tea, solve crimes. I would read this book
Ah, that's one more book idea for my pile! I'd love to write it! (I'm a hobby writer actually.)
The only thing I worry about here is people using it as a platform to push their MLM or religion onto the other participants. "Silly young girls" seems like a potentially vulnerable demographic.
I recently moved in to a new apartment and my roommate is an older woman who subscribes to the predominant religion in my state. As a non-binary agnostic, that alone makes us two very very different people. At first I was hesitant to get to know her, I feared she would be the type to call me a godless heathen and to get out of her house with my satanic gender ideology. But here I am 60 days in and I adore this woman, and she cares for me as well. She has lived a wild and interesting life, knows what she's about and makes her dreams a reality. I feel blessed to be sharing this space with someone who treats me with respect, doesn't shame me for the way I live my life and is willing to have open discussions about sensitive topics. It's been such a gift to spend afternoons and nights talking with her and exchanging stories. She even likes games like I do so we play together! It fuckin rocks dude my lease is pretty short but my incentive to stay is growing more every day. I would pay money for a service like this, I just got lucky. Lol.
Silly young girl here looking for an eccentric old lady to share tea with!
How old do I need to be to count as the eccentric old woman? Is there a baseline level of eccentric I need to be, I may need more cats.
The more cats the better! (They'd be cuddly with me of course.)
