The 5 Worst Things About Getting Older

[Marion Morrison]

Not sure when it first happened, but I found myself having to be careful when I sit down so I don't crush my nuts by sitting on them..

There's these things called "Tighty Whities" Yoar Welcome.

 

[Darkwind]

Watching others make the same stupid decisions you once made.... like voting for democrats.

I don't care about the voting thing. However, biting My tongue and watching My children, step-children and grandchildren make the same mistakes I did and knowing that I have to let them make those mistakes. Sometimes, it just kills Me.

The 5 Worst Things About Getting Older


New year's comes and you fall asleep by 7pm


You rent a movie at red box and you fall asleep during the commercials..


You light a cigarette at the wrong end

People who wear tighty whities are so old that they really just double as a cloth diaper.

I'm still only 34, but I've always looked much younger than I am, so up until a few years ago I was still being carded for booze, and it was kinda annoying. Now I get annoyed when the dude in front of me gets carded, and I don't.

Ahh hell I could still pass for a 25 year old .


It's just my body is dying..

[aaronleland]

Can't eat like I used to....I love food!

Who knew semen could give you heartburn? Amiright, guys?

Guys...?

#2 is especially difficult - it's so sad to lose the older generation. I miss my dad terribly. He passed away one year ago today. I miss him.

I lost Mine on My wifes birthday in 2011. My condolences. It really sucks. So many times I've seen something that I just KNOW My dad would have loved and I can't share it.

 

[Darkwind]

Can't eat like I used to....I love food!

I hear ya. Sometimes, it takes My wife two...three minutes to orgasm......I use to ......well....you understand I'm sure...

I am going to be a contrarian here. Am I half the man I used to be? Yes. But the genes and modern science have blessed me and I can do most everything I used to do, just not as fast. No prostate cancer cause they took it out. No back problem cause they put in a coflex device. Let’s just say modern science has a solution for almost any sex problem. I outwork thirty somethings that say their back hurts. The mind sometimes has lapses but I figure if I notice them I am still ok. I have taken up acupuncture and find it mysteriously exhilarating. There are so many things going on in my life I don’t have a chance or a reason to become bored. Paying the bills is not a problem. Large and close family. Uncountable blessings to the point I almost feel guilty.positive energy and positive outlook. No one knows what the future will bring but I am very lucky and grateful. Life is good.

I have no real "worst" things about getting old at 69. Conservatives still suck.

You're a liar.

Not really. He is so old he thinks he still knows what a conservative is.

 

[Crepitus]

Having to turn up the volume on the T.V.

Having to take a leak more often. LOL

That's a bad sign. Go see a urologist.

The worst thing is those damned kids on my lawn

The worst thing is those damned kids on my lawn

Especially the brown kids.

This instantly caught my attention!

1. Physical deterioration


Different with each individual. My knees are shot and affect my mobility. But, my heart’s strong and I see not loss in mental acuity.

2. Loss


We all lose people we love and things we enjoy at all ages.

3. Looking old

A matter of ego.

4. Achieving your dreams and NOT achieving your dreams

The worst thing anyone can have is the, “If I only...” syndrome.

5. Dwindling excitement

Again, it’s a matter of personal beliefs and desires

The author’s explanation for these can be found @ The 5 Worst Things About Getting Older | John Hawkins' Right Wing News

I'm 51 and I can out lift, out work, out drink, and out think guys half my age.

Welll, I'd buy the out drink part.

Listening to a mouthpiece in a public place and worrying if I get in his face I'll leave with an ass whippin.............times are close. Hopefully I'll be dead before that happens.

Being old has its advantages. Everything I buy comes with a lifetime guarantee; there is always something in my mailbox (usually ads for hearing aids and Medicare supplements); and I remember the great music from the 50s and 60s. Of course, the mind doesn't work like it used to but that's a good thing. God, in His infinite wisdom, decreed that the mind would be the first thing to go. That way we don't worry so much when the really important things don't work anymore.

Youth has its advantages but age with its experience and increased knowledge is indispensable to the progress of humanity.

I would much prefer to live in a world where everyone was over 50 than an ungovernable world in which everyone was so young they thought they knew everything and too immature to know they did not. Youth, energy and passion will move the world but wisdom moves it in the right direction.

I'm 79, still learning and still lifting weights; still enjoying life.

Oh, I don't look as good as I did when I was young and I really don't give a damn. My lady, my wife, who has aged right along with me, still enjoys my touch and that is all that matters.

Yes, there are problems with age, but no stage of life is pain-free and euphoric. One last thought:

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!''

From Rabbi Ben Ezra
