Get over being a youngster....how do you KNOW that they are just sitting around in the dark? Don't count the oldsters out, they probably have a better idea of what to do with their free time than you are giving them credit for. As for me, I say....."Enjoy the dark, quiet and each other's company!"

just a quick note i love my parents. i quit my job to care for them. my younger brother lives with them. i love him as well. poor guy has had 3 heart atacks, and the worst form of lupus as you could have.but my father is like archie bunker meets jerry springer show. my mothers in the dark, he listening to the red soxs game. he has had central air for 6 years he used it once. hes the one who could aford to run one. i cant , but i am. i think my mother likes the dark. she can hide from my father!
