Was going to "like" it, but I'm not sure I do...

There is nothing good about getting old, don't ask me how I know!

It is normally better than the other option.

My body is getting old but my mind is still in my youth as I am still doing things I did back in the 70s, I still ride as hard but I am a bit more wiser and smarter in how I do things, but now retired I get time to do what I want when ever I want, except now for this lock down and restrictions,things are bit slower.

The times I feel old are when I accidently tune in to modern 'pop' music stations and the presenters who can barely string a sentence together without dropping vowels and consonants like confetti...… Or: The whole 'cult of personality', do I give a flying **** what Kardashian et al said/wrote/screwed today? So sad that many do.
Biggie too is when I'm the only one in the room (staff canteen, dentist waiting room) who isn't glued to a mobile phone.

I can remember when vinyl albums would have the instructions: 'File under 'popular'' in one corner. But how did they know?

It's what's on the first channel of the wireless apparently.

Think of all those vacuum tube manufacturers they'll put out of work!

And how does that compensate for the hair and teeth falling out, creaking and stiff bones and failing eyesight/hearing, and not being able to cut your own toenails any more? - haven't got to that stage yet? - you've got all that to come! Enjoy life while you can. . . .

Craig · Apr 22, 2020

What toenails ? ..... Slick is right there are some pluses , we got to watch “Ford vs Ferrari” in theatre for $12 all in .... on a Sunday afternoon , we looked the part so much no one even checked our ticket , prolly too surprised we had found the correct theatre at the multi-plex .....

Silly stuff.
Why worry about getting older.
The problem is when you stop getting older.
