Questions about aging? In jest.

[they'reHISchickens]

Darn, the weather explains my aches and pains, too. Or was it the spate of gardening I did instead of my usual 8 hour stint in front of a computer screen? Ibuprofen is my friend. ( Yeah, I am starting to sound like a druggie.) Life is too short to be hurting all the time.
I didn't hit the megamillion so i won't be spending hours with my personal trainer to loosen up mu joints followed by the jacuzzi to ease the pain. That lady is not only depressing, she is East German from an era where they habitually pioneered all sorts of performance enhancing drugs. The bright side of that is that she is still alive and apparently well decades later.
Can I recommend Saturday night BBC shows "Last of the Summer Wine", "Waiting for God", and last but far from least, "As Time Goes By" ? You have to be like fine wine to appreciate them-- old.

They've been faves of mine for a decade or more.

Sour....I have read all of the posts on this thread and I can say with some certainty (since we are contemporaries, i.e. we are both old) that this is really a desperation cry for help and you are getting very little sympathy here with the exception of Bunnylady (who admittedly suffers some of the same ailments). First, in order to make your life a bit more interesting, I am gathering all of the negative comments you made about Princess and will have them delivered with a nice bottle of champagne, to your riverboat before it sails. That way, throughout your entire trip, you can get exercised by running around the decks trying to avoid the sharp objects. Second, and this is a big part of your problem, it is obvious that Princess married much below her station and this lifelong feeling of being inadequate has led to many of your imagined aches and pains. Thirdly, and most important, who among all the others our age has a waistline of 30 (with the exception of those poor souls in concentration camps). This is not right on so many levels and I encourage you to begin eating some real food. Have a wonderful trip and put on 10 pounds!!

Capvin, this is a seriously mixed message that you are sending. Exposing/sharing negative comments about the Princess are not necessary. (Someone else must have hacked into my posts to add them. Emthefishlady?) The champagne is fine. She can drink that - I don't drink alcohol - anymore.

Marrying below her station? 'Princess and the Pea', 'Polish Princess' and the redneck country boy??? We're actually still working on our 'stations' in life.

The aches and pains are real not PSYCHOsomatic, and the Princess has informed me that my waistline has been 33" for the last 30 years.

I plan to eat nothing but tulips; therefore, much like Tiny Tim I shall lose rather than gain weight.

 

[Capvin]

Sour...yes, a very good response in almost all respects. If you remember Tiny Tim tip toed through the tulips while eating a stack of In n Out burgers. And I think that wearing size 30 jeans when your waist is actually 33 may be a partial reason for all your pains.

So, is this senility taking hold, or is it just that most classic of male traits, denial?

Is my husband in denial of the fact that a lot of water has passed under the bridge since he was in his teens? Is that why he had to buy that sailboat? Is this his "midlife crisis"? Some men go for fast cars or fast women, I suppose I should be grateful that with him, it's an insanely fast boat. Sailors less than half his age say the thing is nearly impossible to sail, why in the world does he think he's still agile enough to outmaneuver it?

Do you want to see this insanity? This is a sampling - be warned, the music is LOUD.

 

[sourland]

lady, good for him! There are far worse things that could befall one during that period of unrest known as the 'midlife crisis'.











Do you have good insurance on him? Just sayin'.

Bunnylady, I just showed DH your problem. He's in favor of your hubby's project. I suspect it is denial and am thankful all mine ever did was intentionally blow an engine in his candy-apple red dodge daytona.
Oh.. hehe.. and divorce his ex. But hey, somethings you just have to do for your own good.
I think the real midlife crisis is when you realize the reality of your life and you have to make serious decisions about it, rather than go with the flow and think it will all be better. Wow, that sounds like i should have another midlife crisis, or is it oldlife crisis?
I need to ponder this today. Yet another reason BYC is not good for me.
