Well, as Mom used to say, "you'd b!tch if you were hung with a new rope".
As other posters have mentioned, our age group is prone to gripe. Health as mentioned is a biggie but so are the neighbors, the weather, poor service in restaurants, shops or wherever, the price of _____, how TV is infested with incompetent drivers, etc. etc. ad endless nauseam. Hearing something positive, even if it is about grandkids, comes under the heading of welcome change.
