The only beef I have about getting older is that I still feel the same inside as I did when I was in my twenties, but the flamin outer casing is getting like a tatty old suitcase ! :rolleyes: However, having said that, I find that as you get older, you can 'get away' with more things, simply because there are a lot of people who just can't believe what you just did, or said, at your age !!!! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

No, only when I am not as physically fast/fit as the young ones. Puts me at a disadvantage in TKD, I use strategy instead in a match.

I'll let you know when it works, if I can remember it........................:wah:

You see I'm often mistaken for being younger than my years and I love correcting peeps and revealing my real age... gives me a much bigger buzz LOL

Age is just a number in my book. It's how you feel about yourself. You know, young at heart kind of deal.:)

Nope Age dont bother me. Most peeps age me 5 or 6 years younger than my 41 years, might be cos im a short a$$ at 5ft 2, have dimples and sound like minnie mouse on helium.:wah:

I have no grey hairs yet, all my own sparkly teeth and my skin is relatively good. Maybe once I start greying and wrinkling I will feel differently.

I think it helps immensely that my hubby tells me he loves me at least 3 times a day and shows me as much interest today as when we first met.:-4

Congratulations on your retirement Bez, well done, you made it!

I remember when you were 60 & contemplating it, now it's here! It does feel strange at first. However, after a little while, you'll wonder how did I ever get along working?! I took early retirement 3-1/2 years ago, (and I can honestly say now, that I would not want to have to work at a job ever again) and one of the things I wanted to do was join a gym. Well, I finally got round to it just last month!!! So many planned & unplanned things & projects popped up that took presidence. I could never get to do these projects while I was still working.

So anyway, enjoy that new camera, & hobby! :)

Major advantage to getting older...we're allowed to say what we want and people just roll their eyes.

Major disadvantage- trying to read small print and getting up from the floor...that gets harder each year!
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.

no not a bother at all

I have won many a wager playing the "I bet I am older than you game"

I am blessed with young genes and great immaturity and by the time I hit 60 I am sure I will forget all this. yay for the aging mind :wah:

I can't remember whether getting older bothers me or not. But, urmm... What was I talking about?
I'm too compassionate to be an utter bastard.

Too self respecting to be a caring idiot.

Too much pride to give up the self respect.

And not willing to take the rap for a lack of compassion.

Where does this leave me? Nowhere. What does this leave me? Nothing. Who does this leave me? Noone.

Pee stains and smells, disinfectant smells, colostomy bag and bed sores. The over-concerned looks in the faces of visitors. Short term memory loss but an amazing long term memory. Talking with invisible people. Hospitals and/or homes. The future is full of prospect.
