Why it really sucks to get old

[Big Stick]

I had those conversations with my uncle, who was wounded in Muse-Argonne. You will never understand how important that last night's talk was. I did not have it with my uncle, and with my Dad it was not possible, as he was left mute by a stroke. I envy your opportunity.

Write it down, and share it with your state archives.

I wish I would have been a better record keeper 20 years ago. My Paternal Great Grandmother was born in 1892, and died in 2007. She was really sharp up until the last few years. The stories she told about her first horse and buggy, the boys heading off to the war(WWI), getting a telephone in the house...............

I'm hoping to make 62. When one is a T4 cancer guy, every day is a bonus. Join me in celebrating today!

Hang in there. They're getting better treatments everyday. I've been good for almost 3 years now. I'm going in for my semi-annual PET scan this month. It used to be quarterly scans. My oncologist says the goal is to keep me alive until something else kills me.

Really bad night for me. Could not shoot at the range, guns consigned have not sold, pain 15 on a scale of 10.

Will choke down the meds, and hope for better tomorrow.

Come celebrate with me , for the things that have tried to kill me have failed.

Albertsons had green stamps last year. I got a big stainless steel frying pan for filling the sheet up. Sadly, that was a source of great anticipation and thrills....watching the sheet fill up.

Wasn't long ago that I had more interesting adventures.

The body develops aches and pains, bad joints, arthritis

My entire body is stiff all the time, except for one area.

I have a sign in my computer room from my deceased father in law which says;

DO NOT RESENT GROWING OLD---MANY ARE DENIED THE PRIVILEGE.

A great reminder every day. I will be 80 next month and don't take any prescription meds. Survived prostate cancer 8 years ago and feel blessed.

I have finally figured out why they call old age the "Golden Years."

You end up giving all of your gold to the doctors and medical facilities!

Are you saying that things are quiet in Sheridan?

Learn something new every day and stay young! The other day, I learned I can no longer clear a 4' chain link fence. My trailing leg caught the top of the fence and I landed in a heap.

I was sore for a couple of days.

At least age doesn't affect your sense of humor

" The other day, I learned I can no longer clear a 4' chain link fence"
That must be a misprint, most of us here would trip over a 4" fence.

I really thought I'd be building into my 70s like my father did,but then he was built like a mule and I'm a giraffe [emoji4]

Close The Window If You Got A GIRAFFE !

Things are quiet and I am getting older.

A brown bear wandered into town the other day. It was big news.
