    wha happened?

    I was joking about this very topic as my wife works for a cruise line that has an avg age of clientle of 55. The cruise line has men available for dancing as there are many more women age 55+ than men.

    I joked that by the time I'm 66 are they going to set up a mosh pit for seniors. I can imagine myself at 66 screaming "Ramones u wankers! play some ramones!"

    Old is always 10 years older than your present age !!!!..Caliber

    just remember this thought ..life's pleasure is about simple enjoyment

    “The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.”

    Doug Larson

    I believe we have no "best before date " stamped on our forehead !

    We had to learn this poem in Grade 7.

    FATHER WILLIAM

    by: Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)

      • "You are old, Father William," the young man said,
        "And your hair has become very white;
        And yet you incessantly stand on your head--
        Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
        "In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
        "I feared it might injure the brain;
        But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
        Why, I do it again and again."
        "You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
        And have grown most uncommonly fat;
        Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door--
        Pray, what is the reason of that?"
        "In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his gray locks,
        "I kept all my limbs very supple
        By the use of this ointment -- one shilling the box --
        Allow me to sell you a couple?"
        "You are old," said the youth, "and your jaws are too weak
        For anything tougher than suet;
        Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak--
        Pray, how did you manage to do it?"
        "In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
        And argued each case with my wife;
        And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw
        Has lasted the rest of my life."
        "You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
        That your eye was as steady as ever;
        Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose--
        What made you so awfully clever?"
        "I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
        Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
        Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
        Be off, or I'll kick you down-stairs!"

    Tee hee hee.

    T o keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.

    A ging seems to be the only available way to live a long life. ~

    Some days I feel older than I should. Then it feels like all the power has gone out of my body, and the strength out of my hands. It becomes hard to separate a health issue from an age issue.

    Chelbie, BF, and Beks, I have that book too! But I haven't done a program in a very long time. The other day I was feeling like I wanted to do something very beginnery; so I ordered one of those pulley things we used to use from the 70's. Does anyone remember? You hang it on the doorknob. Well, that's how old I am.

    Flying high said> think when your hair turns white, your skin is thin, your bones are brittle,
    you shuffle along instead of walking    , you can't hear well from age and
    you have cloudy looking corneas, you sound like     a little old lady or man and aren't "all there" anymore
    So I guess you were talking about ME eh????That discribes me to a T...But I walk like that
    "bent over old lady in the Bible that Jesus touched ,,trouble is According to the JW"s he already came
