For the over 50's and under just in case I upset someone !

Do you think you have grown older gradually or did some things just seem to happen overnight?

Talking about aches and pains, flexibility, fitness etc.

When you clean out your wardrobe and take the clothes to the markets and the kids all want to buy the retro/vintage gear, or you have a garage sale and the antique dealers haggle over your furniture bits. The biggest shock was yesterday when I went to the Doc and was asked if I drank alcohol. Very sheepishly I said that I had a glass of wine with my dinner each night. The very young doc patted my hand and said that at my age I could quite safely have 2 or 3 glasses as it would not make much difference to life expectancy. I felt like putting him over my knee and spanking him.X-(

:^O Jean @ the Doctor who doesn't even shave :^O

lol, that just reminded me of my grandpa telling me yeterday that his doctor is retiring and he'll have to find a new one.

Grandpa is 91 and his doctor is just a youngster of 77 :^O

Hmmm..

the first thing I noticed was I got cautious... I didn't want to leap about from rock to rock crossing creeks like I used too, or scramble up rocky hillsides... in case I slipped. Never used to bother me.

Then - menopause X-(   *sigh* 

As already mentioned... the eyes start to give out

And how come my clothes keep shrinking? Before,  I could eat whatever I wanted and never gained a bit... now I look at food and the fat cells start multiplying in anticipation....

Don't even mention aches and pains - Panadol osteo has become my best friend.

:^O Rosie you're on fire tonight, you wouldn't think for a minute you were heading for 90ty :^O

From sitting to standing you develop this 'arh' like groan as you go to stand.

That's the one that gets me too Freddie. 😛

I get down on my haunches and now find I can't get up without help. 😞 And I hurt everywhere where I didn't used to hurt. My kids think it's funny to ask me to look at something with writing on it and hold it right away from me and ask me "Can you read it now?" X-(

I was at the shops the other day and admiring a bright red Harley Davidson bike. The owner came up and we got talking, she said that she had treated herself to it to celebrate her 70th birthday. She said that when she hit 68 she was fed up with the Nanna look and decided to grow old disgracefully. She is not at all concerned that all of her kids are in an uproar. I am seriously considering this option.B-) Only problem is I can't ride!

I think menopause is the beginning of the end....your body starts to fall to bits after that.
