Nice to read what others think about them selves.

I am 84, short 4 Ft something,, about 110 lb,,, short white hair,, blue eyes.
Am married ,,mother of 2 sons.

Raised on a farm,, so have a love for most animals.
Horses & Boston Terriers have won a place in my heart.

Would love to travel more but husband is having health issues.

I am an advert reader
 
10 feet tall and bullet proof! :ROFLMAO:

5 ft 10 1/2 inches, I lost a half inch somewhere along the way.

Slim but athletic build, 31 inch waist with wide shoulders and a V shape. I weigh a buck fifty wet. I work out daily, lifting weights, body weight exercises, jogging and sprinting, riding my bicycle. You won't believe me, but I still have big guns, pecs and a sixpack.

I am still light on my feet with quick reactions. With all that said I have a few issues that cause me to feel not so good too often. I don't let on to that most of the time, what's the point?

I have no teeth, head and neck radiation therapy took care of that. Still have a full head of graying hair. People tell me I look much younger? But I see a weathered and old looking face staring back in the mirror...
 
Normal height and weight for my age, I'm told.
Hair started turning grey at 16, now just white and a very long ponytail.
No hometown, lost count of all the places I've lived, so my favorite question is 'Where am I going Now?'
I've been a polytheist for most of my adult life.
Jazz is my peferred type of music.
Tend to see life as a large, musical piece and assign notes to those things around me...
Hate to fly, but spent a good portion of my life dealing with planes.

:) People are kind, well some people are kind. They tell us what they think we want to hear --they want to pay us compliments. I was told I look younger than my age just yesterday.
Bull! I'm nothing but one big wrinkle, which is wrinkles on my wrinkles.

That reminds me. When I was 5 I stayed with my grandma who lived in a flat with elderly people. I said to her: Grandma everyone is old here except for one man. He's 20.
That was because he had white hair and the others grey. White, it was even lighter than my own hair. He had to be a baby, but he was too tall and mature for that, so I decided he had to be 20.
She told him. From then on I was his favorite LOL.
 
Well, you can see from my profile picture what I used to look like, but that was when I was 23. Now I'm 75, and look nothing like that at all!

Whereas back then I had a full head of hair, and a beard and moustache, now I'm clean shaven, and only have short white hair on the back and sides of my head. I also wear glasses all of the time, due to being long-sighted, but with astigmatism.

I still have most of my teeth, but with some added caps, veneers, and in one lower back tooth, a gold filling!

I was 5'6"/5'7" at one time, but riding a motorbike for a living for 10 years shortened that a little. I'm now about 5'5" at most, but have put on weight over time. For most of my adult life I weighed around 11 1/2 stone (160lb), but since my 60's I've had a chronic condition called PMR (PolyMyalgia Rheumatica). It's an autoimmune disease that attacks the small blood vessels that feed the major muscle groups.

So I get pain in my neck/shoulders, spine, and pelvic girdle if I try to do anything physical for any length of time. To overcome this I take Prednisolone tablets every day, but they have caused me to put on weight, and over the last 18 months or so I've ballooned up to just over 14 stone (196lb), and I really feel it in my back and leg muscles.

I'm not a very extroverted person, and have struggled with shyness for most of my life, but now just keep away from people as much as possible, so I don't notice it much nowadays. I'm married to my long suffering wife who I've known for 45 years and been married to for 42 of them. We have three adult children, but so far none of them have sprogged, so we have no grandchildren.

Other things of note; I'm left-handed, left-eyed, left-footed, and dyslexic, and I used to play guitar, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and a left-handed fiddle. However, I'm now going deaf and can't enjoy music like I once did, so tend to live in silence now (apart from tinnitus) and my instruments are gathering dust.

My main hobby now, apart from sitting in the chair and doing nothing, is flying my microlight aircraft. In the US you have Ultralights, and Experimental aircraft. Microlights in the UK are similar to both categories. I currently have an all wooden Minimax (American design) and a Rans S4 (Also an American design), and I also have a Microflight Spectrum (UK designed and built) that I occasionally fly, when it's not being a bird's nest for the small bird population in the area. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to fly my planes for a few years yet, but at the moment I'm suffering from lack of energy, and a lot of back pain, so I'm not getting up to the airfield as much as I'd like.
