On Getting Older

[Thief]

I used to go as Jesus for Halloween because the only costume I needed was a bed sheet and something to belt it around my waist with.

Then my beard turned mostly white. No biggy, next year I'm thinking of going as Zeus.

I love Halloween....
but this past year I didn't seem to have the enthusiasm I once had.
must be getting old.

I still love Halloween too, although this year was different than most past years: didn't dress up, didn't go to any parties, didn't hang out downtown looking at the costumes and watching the countless mini-dramas unfold . . . I spent this Halloween indoors with my brother watching all of the same scary movies we used to watch together when we were kids and passing out candy to the trick or treaters as they came to the door. Best Halloween I've had since I was 9.

I had a bad cough......and was scaring everyone else

The only thing I've noticed so far is there are more middle-aged people at concerts now. My friend and I pondered this for a moment, and we realized those are the same people we've been seeing, but they weren't middle aged when we were teens and going to shows. But I do get to ignore knee problems as a sign of aging because my left has pretty much always been "the bad" knee. But I can say I'm not able to bounce out of bed at 6 in the morning like I could when I was a kid.

I may be getting older, but I'm in better shape then a dead man half my age.

First things first.....
Get off'n me lawn, ya dang kids!

Now, what have you noticed as you age?
If you aren't that old, what do you expect as you age?

I'm 62 now.
On get'n older.....
- I've noticed that the world becomes more complex.
- I'm conscious of the importance of organizing my affairs so that my survivors won't be overwhelmed by complications, difficulties, & massive amounts of stuff.
- Staying fit is harder than it used to be.
- There's so much interesting stuff to do. I can barely recall what it was once like to feel boredom.

You are not old !!!

Old comes after you kicked away 80 years.

I'm 44. Everything is still going pretty good, but I'm tired more often. I am pretty aggressive with my fitness, but stuff hurts more now. After a hard workout, I feel it more than I used to.

And what's with the pee? At least once a night I'm up, and what's worse is, the damn thing seems to dribble forever at the end. Used to shut off like a faucet.

I wanted to "like" it but then I found it would look awkward.

There is no such thing as getting older, every cell in our bodies is always renewing itself, so the cells in our bodies at any given time is younger than any cell before it, so whir is the old age ?.

And if the doc offers to buy dinner afterwards, you should find another doc.

I had a rather nice female consultant actually...though it wasn't exactly a romantic setting

It's the thing that happens before you die.

Which was a relief because I thought I was going in for a biopsy.

I've had a number of those but will spare you the detail.

Sort of like , "Do you see the cup you just pee-d in half empty or half full?"

To an engineer, the cup is twice as big as it needs to be.

So what you're saying is, 50 is the new 0?

At least you seem to make it to the bathroom. At some point I just know I won't be able to do that anymore. Ever since my cesarean I have that sweet issue that so many women end up dealing with...sneeze/cough....oops! Little escape. Then book it to the bathroom. .
Oh boy...that was way too much TMI.

I was able in my younger years to 'pop' almost any of my vertebrae.
used to freak people out.
It was loud!

now I can't hardly pop a knuckle
