Tried to help my son move a few bags of cement a couple of hundred yards. Managed two then had to take a rest. My son is very fit so he did the rest easily. Tried to slag me saying I am getting old. ( I am). My body is not as good as it was but my brain is still ok.
Guess what? Who does he come to for advice. Thank Christ something still works..... |

Made a big breakfast out the camp on the woodstove, cut firewood for about three hours afterwards, cleaned up camp dishes, swept, drove three hours home, lit a fire in the old stone hearth, ate pizza, and then, slept until 11 a.m. the next day. Working thru a head cold this week and hoping, the virus is what made me tired not the work! age: 55

Have a laugh and a joke anymore.
Be patriotic, and tell the world how proud we are to be White. straight, and Christian. Save up some money and treat ourselves to a luxury. Compliment a lady of any age on how well they look. Be proud of what you have achieved in life. |

I'm 61 and can still do just about everything still. My problem is, when the weather changes, my body screams in pain. And every year it's a new pain. There is actually one thing I can't do. Over exerting my muscles causes the muscles or tendons to tear or over stretch and it usually hurts for about 7 months.

Hammer in fenceposts and dig drainage ditches without feeling awful for a few days. Sadly I've had lots of practice at both this year (that's what you get for marrying into a farming family).

I can't ski or sail like I used to, knees wrecked. However I can play guitar, bass, keyboards, hell music, so much better.
If you fall off the swing, there is always a new roundabout to jump on.
