Such a pretty day.
I tried to go outside and enjoy it.
The wind blew open a cabinet I store some junk in.
Sits about six feet from the door.
I got so light headed I could not do it.
Had to come back inside before I fell over.

Old and sick ain't no fun. Especially when you think you can do things and you can't. And you guys wonder why I'm grumpy.

I'm sorry to hear that. I understand it. We all get older. I am noticing a kinship among olds. One of these days after Elcoyote esq gets old, then I will get old.

GPA, get ya some Bobtactical shades, kick life in the azz

There ya go!

Sucks man, not looking forward to those days.

You�ve been around awhile and seen some things I�m sure. Ever think about writing some of that stuff down for your family to have? Seems like it would be a pretty good way to waste some time. Or, there�s always Netflix

I'm with you grandpa. Like it or not, we all die a little everyday. They say you are only as old as you feel. I guess I'm about 105.

There used to be a website that posed a bunch of questions And arrived at your real age. I was always twenty yeas older than my numerical age.

I told my wife that when I turn 80... I�m going to launch my bass boat in Galveston and head due south with a tank of gas! I�ll ride that wild pony until the end then say my goodbyes

I'm sorry Charlie, I hate to hear that it's gotten this bad for ya.

Come on grandpa, suck it up and be a dude. Chit ain�t nothing but a step for stepper. My mom is 75 and the last 10 years has been her last Christmas. You negative people will outlive everyone.

Will keep praying for you! Jesus is always there!

Sucks getting old!! I hope to live to 80!!

True, my wife just got back from a funeral in East Texas for her 9 year old cousin that was hit and killed by a car. Pure accident, the little baby ran out in front of a car going 70 on highway 154. The driver was really shaken and was invited and sat with the family at the funeral today. So making it to 80 sounds good when you have family gets killed at 9 years old. I think that puts it into perspective.

When I was 25 a life insurance company rated me as 81 years old because of a heart murmur. That was 42 years ago, feel that age now.

96 year old gmother is in the hospital recovering from broken hip surgery, mad as a hornet ready to roll back to her casa, man up quit your bitchn, life is what you make it, sitting around moping and complaining is lame

67 year old father, 100% disabled Army Infantry Vet, shot twice in chest in vietnam by door gunner of helo.... had his chest cracked and heart massaged to the MASH unit. lost left lung and multiple ribs. barely sleeps, always in pain, has an inhaler to help him breath nowadays... gets up, puts on his boots one at a time, and appreciates being alive. Still takes his boat to the lake and can flat wear the crappie out!

Life is what you make of it. Same ol phrase: Get busy living, or get busy dying!

man ya'll are rough, yeah moaning and bitchin' dont help but the reality of it is some people just feel better than others or feel worse than others.

Got ya ,
Westside Bass,
I'm just over the 85 mark, Have lived a VERY FULL life, When the Dr demands to see me, I just tell him I'm too damnd busy, I really have a tough time being considerate of folks that continually complain about getting old, hell it gives us all a bad name, and no I wont bother you with pills I take or the problems I daily have being Certified Disabled, that's my row to hoe and will do it the best I can.

JNO

If being an a hole is what keeps you going
go ahead and be a dizzy ahole.

If there ever was a truer saying, it's "getting old isn't for sissies!"

I try to fish one of the Paralyzed Veterans of America tournament every year. For the remainder of the year, every time I think about griping about a sore back or an achy shoulder I think about what those guys have gone through, and about how absolutely thrilled they were to be able to go fishing. There is no better medicine for me.

I'm well on my way Gpa.
I don't bass fish like in the olden days. I still make it to work and made the youngsters look bad but after work I don't get out as much as I used to. Like today I have plans to scalp the yard and put some Scotts down but so far, nothing.

I believe my downfall was the balance problems I have since I had a bout of vertigo. I need to get out fishing again. We will see.

I hope you feel better and defeat that cabinet...while you change your name to Grumpy75672.

Allison,

"I believe my downfall was the balance problems I have since I had a bout of vertigo. I need to get out fishing again. We will see."

Nice to know before hitting the water alone in your boat (Yep, I sold mine )

If you go out fishing, be darn sure and wear your PFD, even if fishing on the bank. A balance problem can be deadly around the water.

If you have a HUGE gas tank, that might get you to the clear water... lolol

80 is the new 40....x2

am 78 and headed to comedero next month and argentina to shoot doves in May.......have to be very careful because my sense of balance is poor and you just have to compensate by having something to help balance you or to grab ahold of....am very fortunate to have have some younger buddies who help with the heavy work and help me keep my balance...
