Maine farmer Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Read an article recently about why time seems to pass faster as we age. It explained that an hour, or a day is a smaller percentage of our total life the older we get. I choose to interpret that to mean that I am not slowing down as I get older, time is just passing faster! I could run a mile in about 4 minutes and 50 seconds when I was 19. At 49, I can still run a mile in about 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and if you adjust those times for my age, I am actually faster than I was at 19! Isn't that a happier perspective?

You young whippersnapper!!! I am 56 and have a bad knee (even after 2 surgeries), and a bad shoulder (even after repair of a torn rotator cuff, reattachment of the brachial bicep tendon, and ruptured bursa). I have neuropathy in my feet courtesy of the diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, and arthritis. Other than that I feel great. :umno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanBreeze Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 You also lost one eye (something we have in common) But your teeth look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahrquad Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Thanx. The shark is not too happy about it, but I think they look great in my mouth (despite the fishy taste). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahrquad Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 To be completely honest, minus the exaggerations and hyperbole, I have both of my eyes and pretty much everything else I was born with except for about 18 inches of colon. I was not exaggerating about the broken bones, sprains, and dislocations. The upper crowns (second molars) fell out a few years ago and the posts disintegrated I had the stumps removed, but no partial plate just yet. BTW, this Chobani Blueberry yogurt really reeks.. It tastes just fine, but it stannnks. What should i expect for rotten milk??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
