Am I really 70???

You just reminded me that my cardiologist said that my blocked coronary artery developed "excellent collaterals" (aka self made bypasses of the blockage).
I'm 80 and still on my feet and can do a small amount of manual labor so I feel that I'm blessed. I remember the day that I was 63 and I thought that when I was young that 63 was old. I was right, 63 is old. My observations (for manual labor) are people from 50 on up that say they can still do things that they did in their youth were not much in their youth and if they say can can still do all they want to do are not wanting to do much.

Good genes help...
OP here again... Evidently I come from the deep end of the gene pool. My dad made it to 92 and my uncle, his older brother just passed last week at 96 {at 93 my daughter introduced him to Farmers Only and was actually active on the site}. Mom went at 87 and I have a couple of aunts who lived longer than that.
Most of these folks were Michigan/Indiana farmers, definitely a hardy group. My uncles farm has been in the family for more than 160 years with both he and dad being born in the back bedroom.

Oh Man! So many puppies and a couple of worn down Hounds. Happy Birthday Youngster.
I don't mind getter old, I just thought it would have taken longer.
