You Old Git !! :Laugh: I'm just a whipper snapper.
Yup, and looking forward to getting much older despite the impression I give at times. Apart from needing reading glasses for small print (which I usually can't understand anyway)
I'm still fully functional. Another area is unpredictable, but the desire has receded with my hairline, and the demand rarely arises, so I can just about cope.:Biggrin2:
I'm probably still physically capable of doing what I could in, say, the 30-40 bracket, but done that, what's the need? I've always thought the biggest obstacle is programmed
convention. E.g after my 60th, I suddenly felt "entitled" to groan or grunt, during bending or straightening. No pain, before or after my birthday, but difficult to stop.
Barring accidents, afaik, I can continue to live and confound the powers that be, for many years to come. I know I'm lucky, and sympathize with the genuinely less fortunate on an abstract level, but don't as yet, fully appreciate their situations. That time will come, and I've no idea how or whether, I could handle it. At the moment, my attitude is that when I decide my life is not worth living, I have the freedom to end it, provided I don't involve anyone else. I have no religious constraints, and it would be discussed with my family only, nobody else is entitled to interfere, one way or the other. That freedom has always existed for most, why it must be "rubber stamped" for some, is puzzling, lack of will perhaps. I may get to understand, have to wait and see.
Just broke off to find my old driving licenses, out of curiosity. Back now, and re-read the above. Got a bit "heavy", but not deleting it now, it's the way I feel.
I guessed at the dates, in fact each is a year older. Even more of a crock, possibly down to the contents as well.:Biggrin2:
