But I think the head has got it wrong. You are getting old when you turn 80. Now I'm a little scared I won't live to be 80!Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-23173507773105528002013-07-23T08:42:51.395-05:002013-07-23T08:42:51.395-05:00"The day I turned 70, something click in my b..."The day I turned 70, something click in my brain.....poooof, just like that."<br /><br />I'm sure glad that didn't happen to me. I think it is all in your brain ... change your way of thinking and pooof your younger again.<br /><br />How old would you be if you didn't know when you were born?

Nothing they can't do. Sure they have their aches and pains and Daddy was just hospitalized a few weeks ago for some such - but doesn't mean they are up and at 'em everyday. In fact my lovely MIL spends quite a few days a week with her Mom. Who is 101. ::grin::<br /><br />Well, I am off to prepare dinner from the gifts from Daddy's garden. An acre of fruits and veggies are entirely too much for just two people, so we are blessed he shares the extras with us. :)<br /><br />[I really think you're joshing about feeling old. Your keen sense of humor keeps you young Billy Bob, doesn't it?]<br /><br />Hugs!SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-82134201609718962522013-07-22T16:13:28.685-05:002013-07-22T16:13:28.685-05:00I'm just not a person that gives others advice...I'm just not a person that gives others advice... folks live the life they want the way they want to live it. But, darn it, your post today is kind of depressing. I'm real close to my 72nd birthday... I have to take my meds everyday to control my BP and (lack of) thyroid. My husband is gimping around in a "boot" because he broke his ankle last month. Neither one of us is ready for "the alternative"... that's WAY too final and there's way too much out there that we haven't seen or done. Sure, being cautious is a good idea, but maybe you could just pretend that your Mom made a big mistake and your birth certificate's wrong... you're only 68... okay, maybe 69... but the "click" hasn't happened and you are still young. Kind of reset your odometer ..... not advice, just a thought.The Odd Essayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168404014947652773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169314107796334970.post-76269473331751876782013-07-22T15:41:53.909-05:002013-07-22T15:41:53.909-05:00I used to have a poster with a picture of an old m...I used to have a poster with a picture of an old man on it.
