My wife is a violent sleeper so I have caught quite a few elbows there. Ive had my 2 year old at the time daughter shove her finger so hard up my nose it bled for an hour. Ive been poked in the eye. I once had an 5 lb crystal bowl dropped on my face that split my face open pretty good. Its safer to sleep alone.

A fellow Creeker, Tyler J. Howell's mother lived to be age 92 IIRC. He said her favorite saying was "Getting old ain't for sissies!"
I am finding her opinion appears to be correct.

Getting old is a b--ch! But it sure beats the alternatives.A fellow Creeker, Tyler J. Howell's mother lived to be age 92 IIRC. He said her favorite saying was "Getting old ain't for sissies!"

It seems waking up in the morning some parts of me have gotten very comfortable the way they are and will put up a fight to the end if they are requested to move.

My father died of a heart attack on the floor of an oil rig in 1972 6 weeks before his 48th birthday. I am the oldest of 6 and still had 3 siblings in HS at the time. Now in my mid-70s, I am grateful that when I wake up with arthritic pain, I am still alive.

My father also died too soon, but he smoked and didn't really take care of his health. I've survived long past his death age.

[Incidently, very good thread. I've learned a lot about an MRI.]

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

My mother had 4 older brothers. They all died fairly young - unfiltered Camels all day long. She lived to be 92.

No one on either side of my family has ever made it to 80. I'm currently the oldest, and the number of candles required on the cake each year is making it really hard to stay optimistic.
Chronic TMB is a pretty relentless disease.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.

The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.

I had an MRI just ,maybe two weeks ago. They were looking for bad stuff ! Why can’t people be more upbeat ? I’m old and
getting some kind of vertigo. But I would rather crawl than use a walker ! But a big go-cart would be OK.
