Most of us on here, at this time, could be described as over the hill.
With that said, most of us have developed a certain amount of wisdom..
And most of us have mellowed into the pudgy ole teddy bear..

"never poke the ole bear, unless you like getting your head bitten off"
"Backed into a corner", can describe many situtions, AVOID them, if at
