Yeah, two weeks out of surgery today and I actually feel good. I went out and played catch with my kid today, getting ready for baseball season. But throwing overhand hurts, so I let him fire it in, and I tossed it back underhand. I'm still feeling a bit of cabin fever and have watched every DVD I own, some twice. Such is the price for getting old. How are you holding up?

I'll hit 59 this year. I'm much slower than I was 20 years ago. I don't care though. I work with a 30 year old guy. He takes 5 steps to my 1 to do the same job. I do just as much work with much less effort. Age has some benefits like experience. My family tends to live to their 80s plus. I hope to do the same. My mom is 85 & moves like she is 60. She stays active & I plan to do the same.
I know I'm a grouchy old fart but I enjoy it.

im only 22, but have felt like an old man since i was ten.. kinda scary to think about putting another 40-50 years into some good old back breaking manual labor(i aint gonna retire.. i will be on my death bed digging a ditch).. even scarier to think about the fact that my grandma is over 80 years old, and has been smoking since she was a kid.. i dont wanna live that long.. once im to old and crippled to take care of my self i hope my kid dont have a problem with taken his old man for a one way ride to the woods haha. im just kidding.. but yeah im pretty scared of old old age..

Well hitting the big 41 last year made me realize all the years gone by, and if im lucky (most will not be) i may get close to as many years as i have lived to live left.
Seems like every day i see people dying in their 50's up here in alaska.
tick tock times a passin.
I think the worst part of the whole thing, is when your young time goes by fast but you have allot of energy to use every minute of it, but when your older time goes by just as fast but you dont nearly have enough energy to make as good use of it.
Sucks getting old, but I wouldnt want to be young again. i think the early 30's is the best age.
so live it up folks while you got your health and youth.
but remember the old saying that old age and trickery beats youth and enthusiasm every time.

see also people dying all around mid in the 50's
and my way of life is not healthy at all...
think i have to come off with some of my bad habits
