What does a 70 plus person know that a 50 year old doesn't

I'm 62 now so can't say I'm in my 70s to answer the question posed but my dad lived to be 82. He took quite good care of his health in his 60s by eating better and cutting way down on the alcohol and went to the Y to exercise 3 times a week--swimming mostly. I know he talked of having aches and pains that wouldn't go away (and I have that now, too) and I know he tried all kinds of arthritis remedies like copper, hot balms, many supplements and he went to Chiropractic for awhile when he needed it. He didn't have any major health problems and died of artheroslerosis at 82 which many folks have just from having lived a long time.

They know that at 65 you begin to become transparent and by 85 you are virtually invisible. People see your well-used body and assume that your brain has gone to mush and not worth engaging. They don't understand that a brain kept active and inquisitive, can be quite sharp even if it moves a little slower.
 
That is so true Gennie, they walk into you in the
shopping centre too.
