Today I am 72 years old

[Blisterfinger]

Congrats on your birthday. I hope many more will follow. I am feeling pain beyond my age which is so foreign to me. There is so much I want to do but feel I am unable to achieve which is stifling the soul. Hopefully G-d find the righteous path for all of us. 72 seems so far away.at the moment but it really isnt G-d willing.

Are you afraid to say God? What is that?

I know a 103 year old who smokes like a chimney and has never heard of dieting in his life. Some people just have the genes. Like George Burns, all his doctors are dead. lol

Damn . I shall have to be more respectful and nice .

I wonder who is the oldest here, other than Nazi Troll Tittles who is nearly 86, and Tommy Tithead who is Welsh ?

It would appears that Templar is still active here.

I thought he was the youngest regular member.

I am officially 59 .
But because I realised how old the average poster's age was, I added on twelve years because I did not want the old coots to feel irritated that a comparative 47 years old youngster was upsetting them .

That's my story and I am sticking to it .

You aren't upsetting anyone. Amusing them perhaps.

Being old is having lots of good friends who are willing to help you, but still having to pay a young person when you need help with even a slightly strenuous task.

Well, since I don't use the ignore button anymore I'm going to take the high road here although I almost avoided this thread altogether but... Happy birthday even if you hate my guts and I hope that you are doing well and that we can at least co-exist now.

Happy Birthday Gracie..

This old age thing is tough at times, no doubt.

Oh my how time flies. Can't say it's been fun, but it could have been worse, I guess.
I'm alone for the first time in my life.

My bones ache.
I grunt when I stoop over, gasp as I straighten up.
I never know when a flareup is going to happen.
My feet are numb all the way to my knees. Eventually I will wind up in a wheelchair.
I have degenerative back disease, sciatica, innard tube probs, almost deaf.
I have no patience at all with most people.
I prefer the company of birds, feral cats, other peoples dogs than with people.
I hate going out anywhere. Too peopley.
My body is falling apart but my brain is just fine and dandy. Such a waste now.

Then again:
I have youtube for music better YOUNGER memories.'
I have a nice cat.
I don't have to cook for anyone except myself.
I don't crave company anymore but am sorta lonely.
I have a better wry sense of humore.
I don't take shit off anyone. I earned that right with my age.
I have a great pain management doc. Norcos rule!
I can entertain myself easily when not asleep or napping, which is often.
I can still walk, still breathe good have all my hair. Sorta. It's thin near my forehead.
I can remember stuff if I type it in my phone in an app I figured out how to use.
I'm not afraid to die and hope it's before I hit 75. Who wants a stranger wiping their ass???

Anyway...I never thought I'd make it past 50. Yet, here I am.
Happy(?) birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Happy birthday! 8 more years and you get to my age!
