My husband, bless his heart, thinks I want to hear all the details. It's just TMI. I hate hearing about medical/health problems from anyone. Sometimes, I think it's boredom. They're limited in what they can do and where they can go yet they want to contribute to the conversation. My vote is for the iPod, Ed!
Been there, avoid that...If i have to hear about the time his Uncle gave him and enema in 1938 and cleared up his acne again...I think I will barf!
maybe it is like children getting used to bodies and exploring them, when you get old your world gets small again and so much of your body just fails it is interesting again...
Have you also noticed how their ailments turn into a version of that game "Can You Top This?" Now, if they start taking their clothes off to prove their points by showing their "battle scars" you're gonna have to stop them. In the meantime, let them gross each other out while you listen to your iPod. Right Neaheaton?
I think that what's happening with their bodies becomes all consuming. You get two old people together, and they will tell each other every single ailment that they have. Just like getting two women together and comparing birthing stories. It's inevitable.
