Hey Bubby,

I really need some advice. I'm 26 years old single and have no kids. I have attended the same church for about 10 years now and love it there.

About 2 years ago an older man and his family started coming to our church (at that time he was married). Two years later, he is now 62 years old, has been in prison, is separated from his wife, has children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. This past Christmas after our Christmas play he asked my mom if I was married and every since then he has asked me out several times suggesting that he needs a good Christian woman.

I'm too nice to say anything to him or maybe too shocked. Can you help me? I'm at a lose for words.

sincerely,
Unwanted Advances



Dear Unwanted Advances,

At your age 26 - why would you want or even think of taking up with this old man? Tell him to join a Senior Citizens Group and there he will meet women his own age.

I know a lot of OLD MEN who are always trying to hook up with younger women. They think they are still young. You can be friendly towards him in church but I would not advise you to have any other business with him.

Find younger men so you can think more of a happy future instead of caring for an old man.

Good hunting.

Bubby is our 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93 94 year old grandmother.
A few years ago we introduced her to the internet and we've been getting daily e-mails from her ever since. When she was 87, we began this website. We now believe she is the oldest blogger on the Internet.

Whether Bubby is reminding us that boyfriends do not substitute for warm jackets in the winter, or that it's better to receive a compliment than a brick, she always has something to say to her granddaughters.

Now with this new website, Bubby can finally share her wisdom with the rest of the world. And she's excited about it! (Which confuses us, because she used to say we were all she needed.)

Hopefully this will be as much fun for new readers as it will surely be for her. And if not, well, as Bubby says, it will all come out in the wash.

So, are you looking for advice on food, work, a broken heart, or the perfect bat mitzvah present?

But no dirty words allowed or you'll only get one matzah ball.
