I am at an age when___________

Where nothing works, but I don't remember that nothing works, and get
myself in all kinds of extremely awkward positions.

(Why did you lift that, you can't carry it, you can't hold it, can't get back to where you picked it up-drop it stupid!
Cane stupid, your not a track guy, after 60 steps two canes or a walker,
where the hell is cane #2, 'where's my walker, where's my mommy'?)
 

I'm at the age (71) when I should be feeling old and unattractive. But I don't. I do feel good in body and soul and I feel I am still bodily attractive but mostly I want the kind of attraction from anyone who takes the time see to the real person inside and outside.

And that's how I feel about that person who feels the same about me. At this age, it's nothing short of wonderful.

I don't have to be so frugal now because I followed that discipline long enough before I retired. My financial adviser says the wife and I will have enough money to last to age 100+. He suggests that we should enjoy a splurge now, but being frugal for so long makes that a willful and well thought out decision. But I am learning that I don't have to sweat the pennies!

So....you're getting whistles from people; not just from a teakettle? :D

My aunt is that way. She's a multi-millionaire widow with no kids. She and her husband started with nothing, had great paying jobs and recorded every expenditure to the penny once they started getting serious about finances early in their marriage. Not even those of us who'll inherit can get her to spend it. We keep telling her all she needs to save is enough to take care of her for the rest of her life (She's 85), but she got so in the habit of watching every penny that she can't loosen up and enjoy what she has. She does have a beautiful home ...they always built to flip as he was transferred around the country and made a good bit doing that. But you would think that she wouldn't worry about buying a potted mum for her front porch but she does.
