Did you expect to get faster as you got older? grin


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Who said "Golden Years"? I do count myself lucky to still be above ground. Many of my friends are not. I think I'm very fortunate not to have any real arthritis issues. No question that I've slowed down. I'm still trapping and use a walking stick in the woods to steady myself. A nice nap in the afternoon is great.. My dream is to be shot by a jealous husband at the age of 100.

One more thing: I am so sick of this impeachment crap that I don't turn on the news much. Just what has Congress accomplished in the past 3 years?

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Zim, pain is just weakness leaving your body.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I'm only in my 50's and i fall all the time. Most recent, today. I was sitting in my office chair and it gave way and down to the floor I went. I have medical issues but dang, didn't see this one coming. I am sore, but still kicking, got some squirrels the other day. Got to keep digging man!

There is a country western song written by Blake Shelton for Clint Eastwood, as I recall.
"Don't Let The Old Man In"

Just the other day I was stomping around a creek, found out I cant lift my foot up over even the lowest stick. I fell a couple times, use to be graceful about it, now its a straight down thud. Im sure it is because of getting use to the hip boots-not age. I will get better at it by the time I pull.

If you fall when your young you quick look around to make sure no one noticed,...If you fall when your old, you look around to see if anyone can help you up....

straight down thud is still better than straight down splash. wink

One can only hope that in the process of getting older and slower you have gotten a little smarter along the way. If so, the gains in efficiency can help offset the some of the decline in other areas. wink
