"You have been on a dating site for many many years....and you're still here" Sure, I am still here, because, I have dated so many members from this site and have had and continue to have a wonderful time, so, why should I leave?
Ok, this is probably not the most interesting thread of all time, but, seriously, not being able to put one's socks on means the morning is in crisis before it's even started.
Here are the facts, for no apparent reason started to gain weight about a year ago, not only am I now 8 killos heavier, but, have a bulging stomach to show for it.
I am in my early 60's and have had a gradually increasing problem putting my socks on. Of course, I thought this problem was mine alone until I told a friend (as in... Psssst! dont tell anyone but I cant get my socks on anymore!). My friend laughted and told me he couldnt either and that this was a problem for many older men. Phew! I thought, thank goodness its not only me.
So, for those of you that have actually read this far, are you suffering from this problem, if so, how do you cope? For those of you that havent solved the problem I suggest the following... Sit on the third step of the stairs, then put your foot on the second step. You should find it easier to get your socks on this way.
Thank you all for your comments, unfortunately cannot reply individually as I do not get online as much as I used too.
I accept when getting older a persons metabolism changes, I shall just have to find a method of keeping my weight stable that coincides better with my lifestyle.
Just wondering whether the body has a natural weight.
Since my early 20's, my body weight has always been around 92 kilos regardless of my lifestyle, however, following an operation for a burst appendix two years ago my body weight keeps increasing.
I now find that for the first time in my life, I need to watch what I eat and do constant exercise if I want to keep my weight stable. I can tell you that having to start exercising at the age of 62 really sucks!
Scenario: You are single, live alone, have no family or children, your parents are no longer alive and you have no friends you can count on (that live close by).
Then one day, you are mentally incapacitated following a fall, an accident or a brain trauma.
Fortunately, most people have a family member who can organise for care in this situation, however, gave me cause to think about people like me that fall into the above scenario.
Any one else single and solo, if so, what are your thoughts?
The qualities between friends and lovers are different. With friends you talk about whats happening around you whereas with lovers you talk about whats happening between you. If that makes any sense.
Depends on the relevance of the topic you are discussing. Sometimes mentioning the ex is a good thing as it gives the other person an in site into how you carry your baggage (easily, emotionally, angrily etc).
Errrrm... Have you considered Mr Ronnie may not be interested in you and thus not replied to your mails. I have to admit, if I received the number of mails you say you sent, I would think I was being stalked!
I talk the hind leg off a donkey, however, in a personal situation I keep Stum in the hope the problem will go away or resolve itself.
Its very easy for people say problems should be talked out, in reality it takes a lot of guts to do so, there are vulnerabilities and insecurities to overcome, anger management is needed, emotions are rife, etc, etc.
It would probably be better if one person sat in the lounge and the other in the kitchen and send texts to each other explaining how pissed off they are with that person. We all feel safer behind a keyboard and can express ourselves better in type as we have a moment to think about what we want to say.... Just an idea
