Growing older, even old, is often much better than the alternative.I've been on the forum on and off across a decade or so. Many members are older, probably due to available time and maybe not as much into texting, tweeting and Facebooking as younger people are. Across this time, members have passed away, faded away and told of growing health issues.
Among us regulars we are all growing old together. Time will take us all. There is no appeal from that injustice.
I'm only a few years from thirty now. It sure is hard getting old.
Really? I find it quite rewarding.
There's just SO much to know and experience.
Boredom is the only enemy.

I find it very interesting that this format skews older and male, I wish it was more diverse. It seems to me that we are a stronger community than we were when I showed up three years ago, though my last home was a better community than this now over a decade ago when I showed up there.....before it was sabotaged by an arrogant ignorant owner. At both places I have learned a lot, to include grace and gumption in the jaws of death.
“Format” as in DP or this thread?
When I catch the guy who said "Look forward toward your golden years..." I'm going to skin him. Inch by inch. As slowly as I can, with a dull razor, hanging him upside down. Plenty of tar and feathers, handy.

For one thing, "the golden years" is total BS. It should be the "gray years". Just like plants that wither away as winter approaches. We lose our hair, what hair remains loses its color, our bodies damage with the simplest movement, and our memories suck.
The funniest BS is the statement by the aging "my body may be not what it was but my mind is razor sharp" oh hell yes Einstein. lol
Growing old is NOT for the faint of heart, that's for certain.
If I'd had the wisdom of maturity together with the physical health of youth, I would have been downright dangerous.
Youth is definitely wasted on the young :lol:
Yeah, right? When we are younger and want to do all the stuff that appeals to us, we gotta work and fulfil our obligations. Once we near retirement and have the time to check off our bucket list, we also have to bring a list of whatever body part doesn't work and how to fix it.
I've always been old. Most people will always be children.
