Thoughts on getting older

[JohnRippert]

Getting old ain't for sissies.

Bette Davis quote. I have it on one of my large coffee cups. "Old age ain't no place for sissies."

I never thought I'd make it this far. I wish I knew in my youth what I know now. I'm still a kid at heart and hope I die that way, sometime far in the future. Never quit learning, giving up on that is bad.

we go OUT the same way we came IN..........need help dressing and bathing...walking on shaky legs.....soiling our pants.....

But little kids hold the door open for ya, and nice young ladies aren't scared of me

I am a optimist. FEDX delivered a thousand rounds of 9mm ammo today.

All the names in my little black book have MD after them.
I'm a know it all, but I can't remember what all is.
I read the obituaries in the paper every morning. If I'm not in them
it's a good day.
I remember the little granny on Golden Girls telling the others
that her bowels move every morning at 6AM just like clock work.
They all said how great that is. She said not really. I don't get
up until 6:30AM.

Glad to hear that, Graydon. I like your attitude.

The trouble with getting up in age is no one is going to cherish or revile my guns as much as I do.....
Oh well, nothing I can do about that but let my feelings be known.

When I hit 70 a season ski pass at the nearest ski area dropped to $79. The next nearest ski area let's me ski for $20 per day or $99 for the season. I describe my ski ability as "advanced geriatric". Still living the dream.

"Nobody is just dieing to get old"

Dr said, I might have low testosterone level from aging. I asked him if thats why my big head worked better than my little one now.

I try not to think about getting old, it's depressing.

Have a blessed day,

Bluntly, it truly sucks but since there is no alternative that I prefer I will suffer the indignities of aging.

I don't know what I want to be "IF" I grow up.

I'm just a 10-year-old trapped in a 71-year-old body. I love my toys, get to shoot real guns with real bullets and I still play with toy soldiers (miniature wargaming).

God has truly blessed me. I've not spent a single night in a hospital as a patient.

God bless,
Birdgun

I've decided that at my age gravity is my punishment for all my youthful indiscretions.

At 80 yrs old today I am starting to think more about getting old.

I never spent a night in a hospital until after my 70th birthday. I think I spent a total of 3 nights, not sure though.

Have a blessed day,

The sad part about
getting old is...
you stay young on the inside

but nobody can tell anymore
