The older I get ... the better I was.
What have you noticed, particularly, the older you got?
Give us some wisdom!

          The older I get , I find after bending down to get something it's impossible to do silently .. and no NOT what you are thinking! It's because your diaphragm muscles become weaker and your stomach gets pushed up closer to it so oldies often make a grunt when they do such activities !

                        Three men may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. You would be the third man.

                          Or the fact that gravitational pull is becoming stronger. I know ... let's blame climate change on that.

                          That would be quite a theory. If you could prove that climate change was caused by a changing of gravity and other fundamental forces that hold universe together, would that change the opinions of climate change protesters and extremists? How would the world react?

                            Ageing doesn't appear to be graceful...or gradual...its like snow sliding off a roof..whoops there's another chunk!...it isn't like the movies at all...is it guys? ...the up side for me is a massive improvement in my long term memory..I can tell you the names of some of the kids at primary school and see their faces clearly..while so far not losing the plot about what is going on at present...and a feeling of calm and contentment about things... I have always been a bit laid back but this is ridiculous...

                              Sorry Mary..I thought I'd need things to do when I retired...but I just don't!...perfectly happy not having to do anything most of the time...its a pleasant change from getting up early and going to work...I did that sort of thing for way too long...

                                        You do not move as easy and fast as before. If you are retired, it is easier. You can probably do things leisurely. Just stay in good health and it should help you be able to do things better.

                                            ...the younger everyone else seems lol. I recall several months ago, I was in a pet food store and started talking about my cat to the cashier. I thought he was a teenager. I mentioned my cat is 17 now and joked my cat is older than him. He informed me not quite as he is close to 30 years old lol.
