No gray is proof of life's teachings. The more learned you are, the more gray.

I will NEVER be old, but already gray. I'm just like Old Sage...lol I'm probably one of the oldest on this site and hope I never have to slow down.. I did give up riding my Harley sportster last summer, not because I wanted to but didn't feel safe getting off and on since I've had several surgerys on my legs and feet..will just find something else to do... 
Would love to find someone to share life with but if I don't, Oh well...thats life! |

The problem with thinking you'll grow old together is one of a couple will always die first. When I date a man he will inevitably be older than me, quite often doctoring to lower triglycerides and cholesterol. I'm afraid there's not a chance of a man outliving me. Cardiologist told me the other day my heart is in great shape. I have perfect blood tests also. I would love to see people start taking better care of themselves before they turn 50. My husband died at 65 and he was told all the years we were married he could have a massive coronary. I've accepted the fact I will live alone for many years yet and it's nice in many ways. I hire people to do the hard work here and I do the things I enjoy like cutting grass with the riding mower.

I think just having someone that i can talk there ears off when ai feel like it.. My poor hubby, he has selective hearing now, so just tunes out if I ramble, i'm sure it wont change as we get really old.
Hmmmmm or he might end up like my son who is deaf and take out his hearing age when he is sick of listening

I'm kind of realizing that it is simply something I can never have, pretty sure if I had it that it wouldn't last assuming it ever starts. Start...There is the tricky bit, my off-the-wall ideas and theories mixed in with a social nervousness that seems to affect just about every woman aside from a couple I've come across essentially means I'll just watch you effers from this side of the tracks for my life. No problem, I effin' love it over here on this side...We get to play with fire. 
did it ever occur to you that a change in hobbies might help? 
I love my hobbies, they are what helps keep me sane most of the time. Women on the other hand, well, generally they just contribute to my insanity. I'll take the hobbies. |

I agree, my bad, you don't want to deny your true self. everyone on here is always posting about how important common interests are....just a thought |

not really, that used to be a thought, but more of a fantasy now.. i've already got it in my head that i'm alone from now on, so anything should happen, i wouldn't really trust it anyway... but it is nice to think about, kind of like being rich, fun to fantasize about, but will never happen... 
your post makes me sad don't be sad, it could always be worse, as it is for so many others... i'm not sad about it, just a fact of life... do you think at some point in time we lose hope? or chose to set hope aside? I don't feel for me there is any hope either and like Mightymoe will be alone for the rest of my life. After a while; you stop trying; stop beating your head against the wall and just stop caring. |

I plan to spend my last few years alone. I'm really looking forward to being a grumpy old bachelor.
But, I have to admit some degree of respect for Bob Barker. He was sued for sexual harassment while at the age of 83. |

Life has many twists and turns. Who knows what tomorrow brings.I would relish a chance to share my life with a sweet woman until the good lord calls me home for sure.

Sounds like a plan.

One of the perks of working at the nursing home is I get to grow old and Gray with a lot of friends.
THE SENILITY PRAYER: God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I'm 'older (but refuse to grow up), here's what I've discovered: ONE - I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it. TWO - I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart. THREE -Funny, I don't remember being absent minded... FOUR -All reports are in; life is now officially unfair. FIVE -If all is not lost, where is it? SIX -It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. SEVEN -Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant. EIGHT - I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few... NINE -It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. TEN -Only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. ELEVEN -If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. TWELVE -When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess? THIRTEEN -It's not hard to meet expenses... they're everywhere. FOURTEEN -The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. FIFTEEN -These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter...I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm here after. |

your post makes me sad don't be sad, it could always be worse, as it is for so many others... i'm not sad about it, just a fact of life... I reluctantly concur since it is what it is. I would most definitely do things different next time around, but unfortunately, they are no real do-overs in life. A bit pessimistic, but true. MY only goal relationship-wise is to do my damdest to try an steer my kids towards good habits that I pray will lead to solid, meaningful, and lasting relationships. I want it to be more than "don't do like me!" |

No gray is proof of life's teachings. The more learned you are, the more gray.
What if just your beard is gray? Does that mean you only learned half? |
