40something

[BUDGIE]

I've read plenty places that 40 is the new 30.

That means I'm 37. Aye right.

I don't for a minute believe that shite, but I think we are ageing better than our parents and grandparents.

What's your take on the naughty forties and up?

Best years of your life or foot in the grave?

Do you fear old age?

[Rolluplostinspace]

The big four o they were all saying but when it arrived it was just another birthday meant nothing.
The big five o and I'm like how the fuck did that happen?!
The junk mail changed instantly .... aged fifty to eighty .... fucking eighty what the fuck they doing putting me in that age bracket.
I was disturbed about fifty for the first year.
By the time 55 came around back to meaningless.
6o arrived meaningless.
The brown envelope arrived a few short years later saying I could claim my pension as I was now a pensioner was back to how the fuck did that happen!?
I'm 67 now and it's all meaningless again.
I don't fear death at all.
Why I think the reason many older people seem to reminisce a lot is the past is now much bigger than the future.
For younger people it's the opposite of course.
I have health problems but none of them age related.
None of them are going to kill me unlike Lordy who is younger than me he'll die before me or go into the dementia home.
I'm looking at making eighty so have a dozen years to go.
No Lordy I'm not having a go but I know the T2 and or the medications are going to get you because you don't take it seriously.
There will hardly be any old mates from my past at my funeral because they have already started dropping .... like fucking flies.
I'm going to be last man standing!

Forty onwards was a good time for me. A lot of insecurities fell away and I started being comfortable with myself.

Fifties are also turning out to be good.

I've lost three friends to dementia .... early to mid 60's.
I think it's an epidemic or becoming one.
When they are carted off to the specialist place not knowing who they are who you are where they are .... it's the Zombie apocalypse come to life!

It's a sad thing. People seem to succumb to it earlier and earlier.

It is quite upsetting for family members when dementia takes hold and the family have to arrange the sale of a family home in which they grew up, for many differing reasons in fact but the main one being the impact that the total memory loss of a loved one (parent normally) has on family members.
Not nice, the sooner they get some medical cure/improvement of that condition the better.

when you consider your feet will carry you through out your life, it is prudent to take care of them.

A good pair of shoes and a good bed. Because you'll be in oe or the other most of your life.

At 50 I retired from army entirely, I had stayed on a bit as a civilian chasing and catching "runners" as we called them amongst other things, it got too dangerous on your own especially during darkness when you had a better chance of catching one asleep. plod did not wanna know.
Due to my boxing fitness I managed quite well.

I was fishing and shooting virtually non stop for quite a few years but long walks over rough soggy country started to take its toll, I was not the man I was.
I bought aa quad bike to get around on but it got nicked, insurance got me a new one.
I gradually stated to be tired and more tired, so I only did it part time, but got fed up and went and worked with family as a helping hand in the office, I still help at times but I still wanted the outside.
I am now 70, I cannot describe how FAST those 20 years went by
Now 76 I cannot describe how fast the last 6 years have gone by, they have flew.

If ya wanna do something then do it now.

When I WAS YOUNG I often heard people say how fast time has gone by..

I will not mention operations for obvious reasons.

Do it now.

I suppose I have more reasons to though.
