Is it the best time of your life, or does growing older suck?

[deadheadskier]

One good thing for men getting older is their balls hang lower..that's good right???

for what? washing them in a toilet?

:lol: Hey don't knock it until you've tried it...

 

[andyzee]

In my defense, what I said in the previous thread was half joking. Life has been good for me and continues to be good, I like it. Biggest difference, I don't have as much time for things as I used to and as a result, I'm not in as good of shape as I used to be. So, I adjust and find other ways to enjoy life, no complaints here. I chose the option of others looking older, damn, sometime I have trouble believing that some old fart is younger than me! :lol:

True Story

At the hotel I worked at in Burlington, VT, none of my female servers would use the employee bathrooms as was the policy; they used the guest bathrooms in the lobby instead. I personally didn't care, but the GM would get pissed about it. The reason they wouldn't use the employee bathrooms? The Somalian house keepers would not only wash their feet in the toilets, but also their crotches with the door to the stalls wide open.

Once the GM heard this, he backed off :lol:

The feet part is a bigger deal than you think. I recall hearing people go ballistic at Kansas City airport after they used tax payer money to put in foot washing basins in the bathrooms. They did this because the Muslim taxi drivers would run in and wash their feet in the toilets or sinks. Apparently they are supposed to wash their feet five times a day.

If you only knew .. if I told you my life's story you would be crying in your beer at the end of it ..others have had it worst I'm sure .. at least that's what I keep telling myself..

Can't change the past, only the future. Tomorrow is a new day.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

What?? Where do you come up with this stuff?

I didn't invent gravity...do you know any 70 year old women with perky boobs?

 

[Moe Ghoul]

I'm pretty ambivalent about the question. There's things I miss about being younger and there's a lot to enjoy as I get older as long as I'm relatively healthy. The one truism is that time flies as you get older. Summers seem to last forever as a kid. Hell, were almost halfway thru 2008 and in a blink of an eye we'll be antcipating snow events and gettin all giddy about another ski/board season.

Would it be wrong of me to add a new poll option: "I'm feeling great because I'm young, not old"?? :-?


:lol:

Please do!
Add away!

 

[bvibert]

Cool, now there's an option that I can vote for.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Life is VERY good . On the, clock i'm 65 ---but hey its ONLY a number . I feel great, am trim , athletic and healthy and actively engaged in several things but still stay connected intellectually by way of active community volunteeerism

BUT I FOCUS on WHAT I CAN DO -- not what i can't do.
I eliminated ALL stress i my life -- when i retired and reduced contact with any of life's Negative Nuts

 

[mattchuck2]

for what? washing them in a toilet?

I was sitting in a public bathroom stall once and a guy standing in the stall next to me, taking a piss goes "Man, this water is cold . . . and DEEP!"

 

[mattchuck2]

Oh, and for the record . . . I'm 28 . . . feeling good cause I'm young.

I'm 51 and I'll defer to some Lennon/McCartney lyrics for my response.....

Getting Better

It's getting better all the time

I used to get mad at my school (No I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No I can't complain)
You're holding me down (Oh), turning me round (Oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Foolish rules)

I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine

Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can

I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better

I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can (Ooh)

I admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get more worse)
Yes I admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Getting so much better all the time

That's the attitude I like to see and exactly what I am striving for as time goes by. I don't really look or act my age (29-I know, not really old) and am in no hurry to act that age... whatever it is. Everyone is different and has their own character... if I get too serious now I'll end up an old cranky man like the old man
There are folks almost twice my age running insane distances... that only gives me hope that this is just the beginning. I'm gonna keep at it for as long as I can, and like WD said:

"BUT I FOCUS on WHAT I CAN DO -- not what i can't do."

I think that is very important to remember. There is always something you could be doing, no use in being frustrated that you can't do something you used to be able to do - there are things I am doing now that I never thought possible when I was in HS. Age is a fun statistic to look at, but that's it - if the mind is young, the body will follow - I say this from seeing friends in their 60s+ kicking my ass.

Not non surgically enhanced ones

And Raquel Welch, who is almost 70, look pretty darned goof if you ask me in this pic from this year's grammy awards!

A serious "double cougar" IMHO

I'd be more concerned about them washing their crotches in the toilets with the stall doors open.

You should hear some of the stories that one of the assistants who used to work for me told about what she saw going on in the dressing room of the strip club she worked in as a bartender pre-career change. Those stories were nasty

 

[Trekchick]

I voted for the sux part. However it could also be looked at as being pretty good. To put in perspective I had the time of my life as a skied full time for the first 8 years out of college and as I am now 48 it is darn neer imposible to get into shape and the economy is killing my business. but now the good part.

1. 2 great kids 13 & 11
2. they both have my skiing addiction much to my wife's dismay.
3. My 13 yo son is good enough to play on my adult volleyball team with me
4. i spent last night at our local (private) Motocross track with both my kids
5. 4 more years untill the house is paid for

My husband is 51. He's an AMA A card holder for Enduro's and still kicks butt when he races.
We run races at our local Motocross Club.

Gimme a woman who knows how to use what she's got.

I don't feel (or act) my age, I am still 14 at Hart.

My in laws are my insperation. They started skiing in their mid 40's now they ski their age, 65/day a year and my father in law still hang glides.

I wanna be them when I retire!!!

Cool, now there's an option that I can vote for.

Um, you shoulda made it, I'm not old like Trekchick!:lol:
