Clickety Click ! Like our bones.

Happy Birthday. I hope you have a great day.

C'mon City.
 
It's crap. I had a laugh last year at one of my fellow dog walkers because he got a letter to attend the 'Medicine Of The Elderly Clinic' at our local hospital.

My wife got one this week, that wiped the smirk off my face for sure...
 
My body has given up the ghost. Movement is difficult and painful. My mind, however, is as bright as Trump’s. I’m just a year younger than the greatest POTUS of all time.
Maga….Make a geriatric do something that begins with ‘a’.
 
I'm 62, still fit and healthy and retired 3 years ago, best thing I ever did. No one knows how long they have before their eventual decline. Look after yourself and your family and don't fret about things you have no control over, oh and play plenty of golf.

There is no upside as I see it. You are an irrelevance in every respect. You feel an outsider in society that only listens and caters to the needs of younger people whose values and interests you do not share. All you see around you is decay and neglect at an accelerating rate. Our politicians are pygmies and even more self-serving than ever but we no longer have a media prepared to hold them to account. Every morning the landscape just gets a fraction bleaker.

That’s the spirit
 
I’m 67 this year , not had a serious days illness in my life until the last 12 months.
Now I’m being treated for prostate cancer and currently in Wythenshawe Hospital suffering from Pancreatitis.
Normally I play old man’s football 3 times a week and I’m semi retired.

Hoping to move to Florida this year. I consider my self very fortunate, getting old sucks but keeping an active mind and body certainly helps.

As the great Warren Zevon said when diagnosed with terminal cancer,
‘Enjoy Every Sandwich’

Moving to Florida could get you shot - and don't forget the medical bills......

I`m 75 and over the past 12 months I have had a new hip,cyst removed from my neck, cataracts removed,4 x lesions removed from my chops and yet I regard myself as lucky. I still have to walk with elbow crutches due to my continued back pain and I feel so fortunate that I`ve attended literally 10/12 funerals over the past 18 months, many of them younger than myself.
Now and again I`ll think about death but its more to do with those I love who`ll I`ll be leaving behind and I have planned my funeral arrangements with my wife and its all written down.
To date I regard myself as being a lucky person with my health, compared to a lot of other people.
I`ll keep taking the tablets and Guinness & IPA`s for as long as possible.

Lesbians removed from your chops. Unlucky fucker Oakie.
 
I'm same age as you and feeling pretty good if I say so myself. I go to gym 4 times a week and my last relationship (lasted year and a half) was with a woman half my age, most fun I've had in years. My health is great, no aches and pains, and my knees are holding up so can still go hard on the treadmill. Financially I'm in a good place so can afford several good holidays a year. Only thing i would say is my memory isn't what it used to be, the info is all up there it's just the data retrieval that's broke, I'll be watching a film struggling to recall the name of a famous actor for example.

Watch a different film or stick to Laurel and Hardy.
You're welcome.
 
64 in a few weeks. A few issues such as enlarged prostate, high cholesterol and blood pressure, rhinitis all of which I take meds for. Try to have decent diet with lots of fruit and veg. Cut down on coffee to 1 or 2 a day. Exercise most days with a few runs a week. One thing I noticed is can't drink for toffee now. In past was easily doing 15-20 drinks on day out at football. Now 6-7 pints is my limit (saves me a fortune).
 
I am 65 today, i can hardly believe it i was in intensive care on my last birthday.having had s visit to the dead side and recovered i no longer fear death at all. Yes i am broken mind and body and cant do what i was doing prior to the collapse but cant do anything about that now

I can take a couple of private pensions now but i need advice on as it fucks with my benefits but i want to be much more comfortable than i am now, i now think for the moment and not even a day ahead, i dont think i am destined to get much more time so today is all that matters

Let me die a young man’s death
not a clean and in-between
the sheets holy water death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death

When I’m 73
and in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party

Or when I’m 91
with silver hair
and sitting in a barber’s chair
may rival gangsters
with ham-fisted Tommy guns burst in
and give me a short back and insides

Or when I’m 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one

Let me die a young man’s death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne
‘what a nice way to go’ death
