It's happened, today I officially feel old

[chickboss]

I'm 33 and I don't know how it happened but all but one of my best friends are all above fifty. You guys aren't old! NONE of you! You may say you are, but it is a lie! I've seen it.

Can't fool me! Haven't met a fifty plus year old yet that didn't make me want to look forward to that time in my life. Good luck with your recovery! I wish a speedy healing for you!

Did some new exercises in therapy yesterday, was shaking like a little girl, sweat running off me, not bouncing back like I had hoped, but dealing with it.

Now, you should know by now that they do therapy to torture you inside and out. There is no help in therapy, they only do it to make you feel awful about how weak you are...you weakling! No, I'm just joking. The more you do it, the more it'll hurt, but the stronger you'll eventually get. You can do it! Just chase some of those Brahmas around...

The thing that drove it home today was, of all things, the laundery hanging out on the line. For the first time in recent history, going into late summer, there are no uniforms, practice jerseys, or related paraphernalia in the wash.

You're still playing football? And sweating like a "little girl" in therapy? C'mon now...

On the bright side, you don't have to smell the disgusting scent of teenage boy, mixed with mildew, bleach, sweat and complete grodyness.

You're not getting older, you're just getting better.​

OK, Big Med, back to the rehab and keep using that knee. It doesn't get any easier. My mother lived to be 97, and one of her favorite sayings was "I'd like to find the person who coined the phrase 'the golden years' and kick the crap out of him." I'd like to wake up one morning when something didn't hurt. So far the pain tries a new location every day- trying to find the spot it likes best I guess. Most mornings it's OK as long as I don't look in the mirror. There is this strange old guy who keeps staring back at me?

RoPo, you are cruel! I could be your grandfather!

Remember YOU HAVE to be able to straighten out your leg or you will have a limp for the rest of your life. Repeat this to yourself daily. It may hurt like the dickens, but you HAVE to do it. After my surgery I learned the icebag is my friend. Massage helps too! You will feel better, walk better and live better====but now you have to push through the pain.

It's possible. What's your mom look like ?

If you want talk smack, bring your A game.

Around here it was volleyball, basketball, and track uniforms, and girly smells.

Yeah remind me of that after I get done cleaning out the young birds section of the coop today.

Getting old is all my kids fault. I wasn't old until I had them. Then, the other day a young waitress at a restaurant that me and my kids were at told me that my perfume reminded me of her mother

So I washed her mouth out with soap (ok, just kidding on that last part, but I wanted to.)

in my 30's here and about 1/3 of all hair on body is now white. Somehow I skipped going grey?

 

[noodleroo]

A couple of years ago I was having an exceptionally great hair day. At the grocery store a young girl stopped me and said 'you're hair is so pretty!' At which I replied 'thank you very much'. She said "and when mine turns gray, I hope it looks just like that"......

A number of years ago I was talking to a policeman who was filling out a report on my wallet having been stolen (at church, on Easter Sunday!). He asked my hair color and just as I said "brown" he looked up and said "gray". He at least had the grace to blush, and I never looked at the report to see what he actually wrote.

You can all hush about the hair thing. I'm hitting 40 in November and women in my family don't go grey.
























They go bald.
