Off topic a bit: I hate those kinds of swings, but they seem to be the only type you find now at playgrounds. I remember having the bench-like swings as a kid. The ones you could stand up on. And I always thought they were more comfy to sit on, also. Wonder why they went the way of the dinosaur? I guess maybe for just that reason that kids can’t swing standing up anymore (too dangerous? I never thought so).
Well, that doesn’t work for my husband and most of the men I know. regardless if they are overweight even…. they have no BUTT. It’s like all the butt sinks forward and becomes gut. Just try and get a pair of pants to fit on someone with no butt! :)

Old people can still use playground swings? And aren’t most playgrounds closed/not to be used during this COVID-19 pandemic?

I’m finding that the older I get the less I have behind me….. so much so that I’m thinking about wearing supenders.

“Pickles” is where I read this…The young talk about the future because they have no past. The old talk about the past because they have no future.
