What do you feel "too old" for?

Jess · 08-17-2011, 08:02 AM

contortion... I was up on the roof of the new garden shed I am building yesterday evening, crawling around laying strips to attach the roofing and when I got up to climb back down the ladder, my knees and legs turned to jello. LMAO! I got down and was like jesus god WTF???

I still take on tasks that in my 20's or 30's even were undaunting... I just have to allow a good deal more time to complete some of them and make sure not to take on physically rigorous/ dangerous things when I am less than 100%

( I personally prefer other ways to make "jello legs")

The only thing I think I'm too old for, is being pushed in a baby stroller. Other than that I'm game for everything, where do I sign? What time does the plane leave? Let's go !! Will there be music and fireworks?

As long as my body holds up ,even tho it has its problms,im readyto do what ever I want to do..age whats that?

Soft*Silver · 08-17-2011, 12:07 PM

I dont know if I am too old for, or just too banged up for, things. I cant garden like I use to. But thats ok. I dont eat like I use to, so smaller gardens are good.

I cant eat like I use to. Not just smaller amounts but I also cant eat spicy things, heavy meats or sauces, milk products and items known to create high cholestral.

I cant love like I use to. I am way too guarded and damaged.

Love this thread... I'm too old to go out dancing to all hours of the night. A few weeks ago (thanksgiving weekend), I got a little cabin fever and decided to get the butch and go out to Mango (a women's dance that takes place from 3-7p.m. on a sunday). I haven't been to it prior but heard it was fun and it was at the El Rio, which has an outdoor area. i called a couple of friends that are close to our age. lol... we were out on the patio watching the kids dance (yes, they looked like they were 12) and I was thinking, "I feel like a chaperone at a high school dance" and about the same time i was thinking it, my friend said it out loud. We left shortly thereafter.

Anyways, I don't think I'm too old for a lot of things especially good fashion - I refuse to wear an old lady dress and flats. I don't care, it's not happening regardless.

I can not longer keep working when I get sick. I use to work right through it and just deal. Now I am so tired and can't keep my eyes open all day or even sit at a computer or talk on a phone. Yikes it stinks getting older sometimes. LOL

I'm seriously too old for head games and drama.

theoddz · 08-17-2011, 09:03 AM

Okay, I'm NOT too old to think back on those days Anya/Georgia and Tapu were talking about!! I was stationed at Camp Pendleton from '79 to '81 and I remember staying out all night (on the weekends) and partying at those places like (San Diego) The Apartment, The Club (Laurel/Kettner), Diablo's (El Cajon Blvd), The Brass Rail, etc. In LA, it was Peanuts and in Long Beach, Que Sera. Oh, and there was this wonderful little bar in Palm Springs called "Aunt Hatties". We used to drunk line dance there, which is something I am waaaaay too old to do now.

Oh, and I'm too old and crippled to disco dance anymore, and I used to do that much better after a couple of shots of JD, chased with a few beers. I'm too old to drink like that anymore, too. In fact, I take too many meds to drink at all, these days.

...and I'm waaaaaaaayyyy (and crippled) to run a Marine Corps physical fitness test now. I used to run those hung over. Ugh.

Those were the days!!!

But.....I ain't too damned old to remember...and still enjoy this, which I had on 8-track and used to listen to in my '78 Camaro:

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!!

I was at the grocery and stopped tpo have bread sliced. The oly one in the bakery was Sue. who does the cake decorations....She had 6 cakes lined up for the day. She told me that Saturday was a killer - she had 15 to do before 3 pm!

We talked for a few minutes about all our ailments, surgeries and tried to refer each other to the best ortho, best neuro, best back doc.

I am too old to play softball any longer, as I played the catcher position. No way can I squat for 2-3 hours and expect to stand for longer than 20 minutes!

But I can still find my way around a dance floor for a few 2 steps and sing karaoke until the cows come home! And "jello legs" are appropriate, but few and far between....*wink*

AARP starts their campaign with people at 48... I freaked when I got my first invitation to join. I threw it away and have continued to to that, but lately I've been thinking about it. Last year I turned 55 and I freaked. Now when i see anything that says senior discount I ask what age they mean. I've very happy when they say 65.
