Rites of Passage. Sigh

You might want to put the Depends at the top of the list. :slight_smile:
And add decaf coffee to the list.
Well maybe skip the coffee you might want to take a nap soon.

Dave you forgot the Ensure :lol:

How about when the waitress automaticly gives you the menu opened to the senior specials section. :wink:

my eyeopener was, when after a light heartstroke and the following check-up, i chit chatted a bit with my doc.
when i told him about the new enterprise, i am planning, he gave me a long quiet look, before he said: “you should concentrate on consolidating, not on expanding.”
well, i’m not sure if he is a good doctor, but he is an honest one…

Speaking from experience…harrumphf!

The first sign of aging is when the cops all look like kids!

Pet peeves:
The 23 year old sweet young thing “expert on aging” that knows more about the subject than you do.
The idiot that asks when you retire “how will you keep busy?” I have less spare time now than I did when I was working. Of course that might be because everything takes twice as long to do… Hehe!

Of course there are also all the health experts that tell you what to eat to assure a long and healthy life…
Dad was a meat and potatoes man all his life and enjoyed a good greasy cheeseburger as do I. He was also a chain smoker until well in his 60’s. I’m sure if he had eaten his tofu and bean sprouts he would have lived much longer. Unfortunately he died early at…101!

Doctors and their medications are a big help too. The only time in my entire life I’ve been in the emergency room was when I got a very bad prescription for high blood pressure pills. I felt just fine with the high blood pressure.

I figure I’ll last a few years yet or at least until some dietician or doctor’s prescription kills me.

Oh well. Welcome to the golden years. hehehe! :wink:

You guys are just trying to make me feel good.

Thanks. :smiley:

For me it was when I started seeing doctors who looked like they were younger than my kids.

Here’s a little story about one of the “joys” of aging…

Three elderly sisters were sitting around the kitchen table, and oldest one goes upstairs to take a bath. A few minutes later, she calls out, “Was I getting in the tub, or getting out of it?”

The middle sister says, “Hang on, I’ll come up and give you a hand.” Halfway up the stairs she stops for a moment, then hollers down, “What was I going upstairs for?”

The youngest sister shakes her head, knocks on wood and mutters that she’s glad she still has all her marbles. Then she yells up, “I’ll be right there as soon as I see who’s at the door!”

What about the advantages ?
I get more fun now out of young ladies than I ever did when young and handsome (well , alright , I was ugly , but you know what I mean ).
My gorgeous twin daughters 44 years old have some equally gorgeous friends . Who do they gravitate to at get togethers ? Moi . I have the most lurid conversations with them , they enjoy it because it’s harmless fun , I enjoy it because I’m a dirty old man .
They also say to my daughters quite often " Isn’t your Dad tactile ?" which prompts my girls to chase some other filthy old bugger to see what they are missing .
One thing I should mention . My wife died some years back , so she doesn’t get upset —what I mean is , don’t be a dirty old man if your wife is around----because they never get chatted up by young blokes and thus do not get it in all senses of the word .
Right , I shall now read the daily paper and doze off , then lunch , doze off again , dinner , TV , miss the tail end of programme through dozing off , get put to bed , can’t sleep .

Ray - that’s a sad (and funny) story, but so true :smiley:

Often I’ll be on a quest for a tool, or something similar when on the way I notice something that’s out of place or needs a quick tending to. By the time I arrive at my destination I have completely forgotten what it was that I was after, that is until I get all the way back to where I started :o The process then repeats, sometimes endlessly.

That’s why I can never get anything finished !

Bob,

She forgot “Check LSC for new posts”.

I think that clip explains why I forgot to bring in the trash cans until 11:30 p.m. last night!

Mine are still out! Noticed on the way to work this morning :o

A good rule to follow for you young whippersnappers.

Pick a physician who is the same age as you, then grow old together. That will prevent having to deal with the 28 year old who has just completed h(is)(er) Internal Medicine residency and “knows everything.”

No plan survives first contact. :stuck_out_tongue:
