You know you are getting old when......

[highland145]

You know you're old when you read threads like this hust to see if you have any of the problems others are having.

lol my wife said she hated talking to people our age because they only want to talk about their health issues.

Limber not lumber, timber Beavis.


True, stats do show the husband dies first. Tell her that's because we want to.

Well played. I haven't seen that one in quite a few years. Forgot about that scene.

The movie serves to support that karate will have you fit and healthy in your golden years. 👊

Eh? Dogs can always run faster than humans. As long as we are not talking old dogs

Shit I was old at 10 then. Dog ran me down and took a good chunk out of me.

 

[highland145]

Umm, poor dog.

@pcgeek11. You've been warned, I've seen your knee.

Purdy ain't it?

My other one looked worse.

Just until your dirt nap.

I can empathize with you guys. At the ripe old age of 38, I always have to pee when I wake up in the morning. It sucks getting old.

Going through the same thing. Severe knee pain at the tendon connection points. Runner/jumper's knee, despite not being a runner nor a jumper. Gotta work out to make it better, so I've invented a machine that adds hours on the day to account for this (and other) things I now have to do.

Don't forget stretching!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some years ago I was in the big weight room at my local YMCA and this old guy (he was REALLY old! He had wrinkly skin all-over!) was in there. It may have been the only time I saw him, or maybe he was there a few times. Anyway, I didn't see him doing a single thing except stretch, and he was at it a long long time. Most striking was his fantastic flexibility. I can't begin to do the things he was doing. He was like a supreme yogi. I do stretch in the gym (I'm going 3x/week now), but not enough. I have to really ramp up my stretching and do way more than I do at home (which is next to nothing). I stretch before I play golf for 5 minutes or so during golf season (6 months out of the year).

They say that stretching is super important for older people. You see a lot of older people with horrible posture. Stretching can go a long way in preventing that.

I saw a guy in the locker room of my gym yesterday. He was facing away from me, at his locker. He had the most gigantic deep and large scar in the center of one of his calves. He looked like he was totally able at this point. I was tempted to ask him how he got that scar but thought better of saying a thing. AFAIK, I'd never seen him before, after all.

Having done serious damage to myself through sheer stupidity, I can feel the pain if I see the pictures. :shudder:

"If others had not made mistakes, we would make them."

The best way to learn from mistakes is to learn from those others have made.

One of my absolute favorite William Blake quotations:

"Man was made for Joy and Woe,
When this we rightly know,
Safely through the world we go."

That does not strike me as a grocery store appropriate song lol

Well I think the same thing watching the Orange One "dance" on stage to a song about gay sex in the gym.

You know you're old when you realize you are older than the Super bowl.

Wasn't too bad. Walking with a walker the day of surgery, a week later using a cane, and 5 1/2 weeks later I was back at work full time.

I was pretty old by the time I was 23, not physically though, I had mature ideas..
