When did I get old

Well, ,my last two days of "fall"ing, has re-inforced the truth
of the fact of my age sez I'm old, and lack of co-ordination,
lack of strengh, too fragile, all tells me I'm old and damn well
better accept it and start acting my age.......damnit....

If you decide to get a cane, please consider one with 3 feet. I think they are steadier.

I prefer not to live in the past. Sure, I have memories that I think about now and then, but I donā€™t dwell on them.

Whilst I would like to live in the present, getting my head around technology ain't going to happen. People just zap a reader to pay for their purchases, that's science fiction to me. When they don't use the phone they just wave their plastic credit card at the reader and zap, it's paid.

My preferred method of payment seems to going the way of the Dodo.
My landline phone has a finger dial, my car is so old it wasn't fitted with seat belts. My music comes from playing a vinyl disc called a record, and my wardrobe of clothes wouldn't look out of place in an episode of "Foyle's War."

Thank you oscash. In the pictures of veteran's parades in the video, Skip is always carrying the M.I.A. / P.O.W. flag. A part of him never left and there are those he never forgot.

Skip had taught me a few Native American words from the Crow "Children of the Large Beaked Bird" language. So it was one night over adult beverages, Skip had brought a young Native American girl out with him that evening. I wanted to impress her warmly and respectfully and spoke a greeting to her in her Native language. Boyee Howdyy ... it was like a switch was tripped and next thing I knew this young woman was all up in my face about NEVER use her language. I had no right to use her language. I don't think she ever calmed down that night. I thought she was going to kick my a55 :oops: ... I'm not Native American and had to apologize profusely. I haven't used those words since. Nope :ROFLMAO:

p 38 still have mine
 
It's not like a knock at the door. "Hello, just wanted to let you know you are now old".
One day you're just you and the next you are not. Doesn't happen that way but that's pretty close to the realization what we all go experience.
Please believe me, you are not alone. We can relate because it is common. Can't run, can't hide and can't make it go away.
We are now our parentsšŸ˜
 
It more or less crept up on me. I was aware that I was getting older my entire life, but somewhere in the last 5 years, it was like I looked in the mirror for the first time, and said to myself, "That does it. I'm undeniably old. No wonder the waitresses banter with me so much now; I'm officially harmless." Then a couple of years later, I started taking Tylenol, just to ease myself through the day. I had crossed over.

But compared to others my age, I can still feel good about myself. I'm about the same age as both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, but I'm in better health physically and mentally than either of them, and smart enough to know I have no business being President.
