Signs and symptoms of getting older....

notice I used "older", not old. Funny thing. If you start at the gray/thining hair on the head, and move slowly downward on the human body, changes and decreases in appearance and function show up, progressively, over the years. Ouch. But here's the kicker, as with health problems in those of us who have drunk too much over the years, the problems show up differently in different folks. We all hear of such folks burning out their livers, and of course some do. But in some of the worse drinkers, the livers stay fine till old age, and the heart, balance, thinking, shakes, skin, pancreas, or some other thing goes. And so it seems to be with aging. Rarely, all systems fail. But usually, it's an individual thing. Dare I mention the two evil "S" words? Sagging and shrinkage? Did I bring just a little touch of joy to the morning? ;--)) Aa.

Mick thumbs up laugh

Aa, if you want a healthy old age you have to start young ....

Look not at the outer casket, but unspent youth within. My memory, like Mick's, is going, I can't remember the whole quote or who said it, but I like it.

May go look it up. If I find it, and it's a goodie, I'll be back.

Thanks Mic and Biff. And GG has it all down. But does the "O" word refer to singles or multiples? Of course, like fake news, they may be so as well. Aa.

GG you reminded me of one joke, about knowing you are getting older when your wife tells you to pull your stomach in and you already have ....

daydreamI wonder who that Bigfoot person is? I don't recollect seein' her here before. Seems like a nice enough ol' bird...trying to be helpful & all. Seems to have difficulty calling things to mind, though...probably starting to lose it...elevator doesn't go clear to the top floor anymore. Poor ol' gal. Still...I wonder who the hell she is...don't recollect seein' her here before. Seems like a nice enough ol' bird...trying to be helpful & all. Oh well.
