I am 65 and still feel like I did at 21 in my head that is, just have to tell my body it is too, but it never listens. If you are in dought of what you will look like as you get older just look at your parents and say that is me and it is coming soon story. Happy Holiday to all.

So, I suppose we shouldn't complain.<BR/><BR/>But, I REALLY WOULD LIKE my 29 year old body BACK.!!!!!!Ruth C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16539443111358361579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-3217017223162647402007-12-17T13:28:00.000-05:002007-12-17T13:28:00.000-05:00I was prepared for the sagging.

I certainly would appreciate a flatter tummy these days!! If only I had the energy I had in my teens I could do something about it!!s.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10144919009203980421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-88796259555441484492007-12-17T13:13:00.000-05:002007-12-17T13:13:00.000-05:00Getting older is no fun so I quit getting older. I...Getting older is no fun so I quit getting older. I use an inverted hanger assembly to hang upside down to let gravity work. One hour per day to let the blood flow back to my brain. It seems to work. Trouble is I need a come-a-long to hoist my sorry ole butt out of that position. That will not stop me from using it. I used to have the chesterdrawer syndrome, you know where you chest drops to your drawers. The way I figure it, I stay busy and keep my mind active and here's the best part, I'm old enough so I don't care and can get away with it. Hang in there, after a couple of glasses of wine, you don't need glasses, as you'll be in that grope and hope phase. Been there done that and have the trifocals to prove it!<BR/><BR/>DaveIroneyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261700920978062999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-69611705482654821812007-12-17T13:08:00.000-05:002007-12-17T13:08:00.000-05:00Too funny!

Everything seems to go south so quickly.<BR/>I particularly notice that where young people in any service industy are, I am the invisible woman, this really get me mad. Then of course when you are complaining about something, they think you got it wrong because you are "old" We have a programme here called "Grumpy Old Women (and men) and boy do I identify with those girls.<BR/><BR/>Margaret.margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271510039435336442.post-28728353233124096612007-12-17T08:50:00.000-05:002007-12-17T08:50:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh, Debbie, you make me laugh!

I wonder if she meant more than she'd lost her balcance? Maybe some other things had fallen, too? ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the morning smile.Sarita Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236262575377618259noreply@blogger.com
