the good...hopefully getting smarter, better {know how} at gambling, sex, etc.

The bad...physical health devolving [but learning about things {e.g. Drugs} to deal with the pain.]

the ugly...not as cute as when i was a rugrat {tho with age should come the game/$/charm to get chicks}.

the end...death...looking forward to it & a harem of virgins in paradise forever.

As others have said; "getting old is a state of mind". At 63, it comes fast and you can't run the 9.9 100 anymore, but......
I can still do moderate lifting, ride a bike (nishiki & Harley), play tennis 4-5 times a week etc. The problem with many is they start getting inactive early in life and that accelerates the process
. I believe gambling actually helps, always thinking, evaluating, analyzing, and looking forward to the next puzzle. My least favorite thing is attending funerals of others, both older and younger! Merry Christmas to all the rx'ers!


exactly... im 41 and I plan to stay active as long as you have been... good job sir

The myth that you have to give up sex, is just that a myth. Not as good as I once was, but once I'm as good as I ever was!!:):)

I've always been naturally ugly and awkward, but now that I'm in my 30s I see myself holding up much better than most others. Or I'm delusional enough to think that. Either way I have something going for me as the next couple of decade goes by

im thin (thankfully not overweight b/c id be screwed) with 2 bad knees so i tire out easily b/c im on my feet at work so dont look forward to only watching them get worse and worse as i get older. im watching the celtics right now and i think of KG and his knees and the pounding his body has taken and i wonder how he will hold up as he gets older b/c it sucks having arthritis at a young age. thats probably the 1 thing i dont look forward too but i hope i get to live to go thru it. im paranoid about an early death. id gladly sign a contract now if you could take the average death for a male and subtract a few years....almost as buying insurance in BJ.

so my bad knees and death

I am 72 years old, semi retired, as a young friend of mine asked me to be a buyer of vehicles for his pre owned used vehicle business that he recently opened. I do a lot of work from home on the p/c & attend a vehicle auction once a week also. I take care of my wife who is 57 years old with a few health issues that keeps her pretty well restricted to a lift chair.We do not have any other family to help us, so she is my #1 priority to take as good of care for her as i possibly can. We have young lady [28 years old] that comes once a week to sit/help with the wife when i attend the auction. I take meds for a heart problem that leaves me short of breath at times, along with high blood pressure. I try to keep sharp with being on the pc for work & also for enjoyment,along with attending the auctions once a week & spending a few hours a week at the business' main office, along with running the household. I will repeat what my father said to me in his latter years, IT IS HELL TO GET OLD!!GL all & enjoy life while you can, god bless.

Yes, the Most would be watching your Grandchildren grow up.

The Least ? When the Hottie Bartender says, Do you want another Beer SIR ! :ohno:

I'll bet the women in their 20's treat you the same way they treat me. They like to flirt a lot with me and talk with me after knowing me only a few times. I'm guessing it's because I have a genuine interest in them and they think I'm "safe". In other words, I so old I won't hit on them.

@):mad:

It's kind of nice to have the young hotties flirt with me and confide their life stories to me.
