It was about that same theme but I'm thinking of another one about that same time that was set in the current day with fairly normal looking people. I may have dreamed it. My family says I have dreamed up most of my so-called "memories".<br /><br />jdjaws -- You are too kind my dear friend.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-46076346087995892932011-08-15T21:54:30.773-05:002011-08-15T21:54:30.773-05:00You're not tottering or doddering or devoid of...You're not tottering or doddering or devoid of stuff worth sharing.

I think the picture you are remembering...Hi Annie,<br /><br />I think the picture you are remembering was called "Logans Run".<br /><br />It was made in 1976 and starred Michael York. The story line was that in the year 2274 the young people killed everybody over 30 years old.<br /><br />I'm glad it wasn't true or I would have been done in by the kids 53 years ago.

I’m not rich but I could easily pass for a bag-lady. Glad to hear from you. Been worried.<br /><br />Ll cool joe – age is just a number – amen!<br /><br />Lynn – I do like the discount and regrettably I’ve been receiving it for several years without asking.<br /><br />Bonnie – with all that goes on in your life, you definitely qualify as an explorer. <br /> <br />Chatty crone – are you referring to a wide brush because of all the labels you have or were you referring to the physical space you take up? LOL jk<br /><br />Sparkling Red – Only the “young and ignorant” are explorers also, they just don’t know it yet. Somehow they are going through the state of believing they already know everything.<br /><br />Riot Kitty – Go Dora!<br /><br />Dani – How does it feel to be the Queen of Explorers?<br /><br />Robin – I am remembering a movie made in the ‘70s about kids taking over the world and rounding up everyone over 30 to dispose of them. Anyone know what I’m talking about?<br /><br />Dianne – I know what you are saying. Ron has been having to use a wheelchair as he heals from these cancer treatments and people just stare at us we attempt to maneuver through doors and up walkways. It’s as if we’re getting what we deserve for being alive.<br /><br />Cube – Plus we actually can learn from them also. My kids and grandkids teach me some new crazy stuff all the time.<br /><br />Pat Mackenzie – Glad you like the idea!Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-55080336990213564772011-08-12T16:51:47.718-05:002011-08-12T16:51:47.718-05:00What a lovely idea. in all stages of life we are ...What a lovely idea. in all stages of life we are and should be explorers.Pat MacKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497617342638521940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-71722704128387128672011-08-12T12:01:51.714-05:002011-08-12T12:01:51.714-05:00Amen to that.

I am only 50 but with my very gray hair that I do not dye, I have to say alot of people label me a senior citizen. Even to the point of they just give me the discount without asking. So I just take it,lol.
