How do you know when you are getting older?

Gina · 12-21-2011, 09:53 PM

Getting older is amusing to say the least. I still do things that others my age are afraid to do. The other night I got to drive someone's big rig. I loved it! But would not do it for a living...In my 60's I've gone snorkeling, zip-lining and para-sailing. I guess I just have to see what tomorrow brings? Merry Christmas and Happy 2012 all..!!!!

When you get one of those "winds" and you think you can do everything you used to in one day... and..... you whack out your back!

When you are at work and the guys you work with are boys in their 20's and they treat you like their mom rather than a co-worker... which is not bad all the time, like when having to take a very heavy piece of equipment off the truck, which has become harder these days.

Sorry about the back going out,th last couple of days mine has been a roaring bitch at diffrent times,I will be so glad when it gets to be spring cause when it warms up I can move better as well as have less pain.My doc said to move to a dryer climate...I told him for the moment most of the dryer climates are heavly layered with snow.Not any dryer, not any warmer.
