Navy,YOU are totally correct, age can bring limitations. Those limitations are what each individual allows in their life. There are older people doing unusual extreme things, that they CHOSE to do. So that tells me, each individual SETS their own limitations. We LIMIT ourselves. I like to push my limits. IF & when I die?



I LIVED MY WAY. PUSH THE LIMITS & LIVE.


Opinion Old Sage

Agreed. I am just more cautious about pushing my limits as I don't want to injure myself or possibly kill myself. I would actually like to collect my old age pension and enjoy life without say being paralyzed or in a wheel chair but to each his/her own. After having a very bad car accident in which I couldn't walk for 4 years; I realize that I am no invincible as I felt when I was 20, so yes I do set limits on myself.

Yes, we have to remember 45 or above we don't bounce as good as we once did" We break" and every bounce we bid when younger we feel now~backs,neck,shoulders,knees, Hell every bone in the body and muscle. But Damn good in predicting the weather!!! We are better at that than most Forecasters!! Maby we should be compensated in that area??

LOL I have been lucky that I have never broken a bone in my body and don't have arthritis but have had my share of pulls and strains. You are right that when we take a fall; we don't bounce as well as when we were young and take a lot longer to get up from the fall.

I've been studying this situation and have concurred that this is the site we go to for hope, but in seeing this for myself there is going to be NO HOPE unless one goes out and seeks it other than here!! This is really all a hopeless nightmare of allusions with false pretense!!

I agree. My dad died very suddenly, a young man of 58. He told me a few weeks before that time: Treat each day like it is your last day on earth. You may never again get the chance to tell someone you love them or get to say good bye.

I am sorry about your Dad Kandy. The advice he gave you was right on. My parents used to tell me the same thing.

Thanks BettyB, Dad had premonition of his death. We talked in length of what to do afterwards. It caused a lot of jealousy with my sisters because they did not get to say goodbye.

Grief does funny things to people sometimes. Its misplaced anger. I hope its all resolved now. Family is so important.

thanks to the internet I found the siblings I had not seen in many years. It was good for them to vent and we can chat on Face Book. Time helps to heal ones soul if you let it.

After 40, I never really thought about age, I just lived my life accordingly...

Sorry, that you feel that way. I don't look at this site to give me hope but instead just to say hi to friends and have a bit of discussion. Fact is I am always out and about living life and honestly way to busy to seek someone or make the time for someone else. I think if it helps to get out and meet people to give you hope; then by all means get out there. I don't know where you live but we have lots of meet up groups here in the city. If you have them where you live; go and out a join a group or two.

yeah but in most cases that number has a dollar sign in front of it. me i just play golf

Here lies the secret of leading a good life.
(After 40 you didn't think of your age and at 04 you were not in a position of thinking age.)

Thank You navygirl! A good swift kick in the Azz works every time Depression sits in!!Now i can be myself by aggregating others in the Forums!! All in Fun of course! You are a good friend of mine!!

I am glad you are feeling better and I consider you a friend too.

What??? There is NO HOPE? You mean we are all hopeless cases here?

Please say it ain't so... puhleeze!!!!!!!!!!

After a certain age we fly our own colors,
For the men its either gray,white,silver or bald-semi bald and lately some color hair!
For the Ladies same as above + wigs.
But we All play our own song and belong to belong to the same group !!
"THE RICE KRISPIES"
Every time we move its"Snap, Crackle, Pop"
Then some have that strange sound when walking "pfooot,pfooot,pfooot (the walking farts!)" best to in front of those" Welcome To the "GOLDEN YEARS" It sucks!!! But be you don't Wake up Dead daily!!?????

As (Trace Akin) would say " I keep on trying!!"
