Re: I’ll tell you the one benefit of getting old
True. "Older and wiser" is often true.

Seems like yesterday I was 21. Age comes at you fast.

People don't seem to Fraps that nobody is immune to it.

My one wish about getting older is that having fun is still OK.

People seem to think that old people just give up.

They shouldn't. They should have makeup parties and adventures.

Plus, they have the most incredible stories to tell.

Re: I’ll tell you the one benefit of getting old
not enough day anymore that's for sure..by the time i'm doing what i want, it's time for bed (early work)

the positives are that i know how to handle most issues that come up in day to day life nowdays.. from car repairs to tax stuff..everything in between..

i remember being young and some crazy problem arises out of the blue and not knowing what the fuck to do..

now it's just mundane, but i've gained the confidence to get whatever needs to be done arranged and not worry about it anymore.

Every second of every moment of every day brings you moment by moment creeping ever so slowly closer to death.

You have been arraigned and found wanting by Nature's Tribunal thus your punishment must be meted and your fate is solemnly sealed.

Long have you seen the horizon and knew the day would come for you to greet it face to face when the time has come to collect.

Re: I’ll tell you the one benefit of getting old
Being old is the same as being young.

With two exceptions.

Everything fucking aches..

And everything is fucking boring.

Been there..

Done it..

Bought the tshirt..

Used the tshirt when wanksock was in the wash..

Now cant even wank.

All I have left are the stains on the shirt and the memories.

Amen to that! I’ll be 54 and I can’t remember 1 old person when I was young complains about, OMG, Where did the years go? It all went by too fast. Yet I remember at 27 back when I was single I thought life was going by so slow. Fast forward another 27 years and I’ve been married for the last 18 years, I have a 15yeqr old child who will be an adult soon and the last have seems to have all went by in the blink of an eye. I’ve been with the same large corporation for the last 35yrs and I’m realizing I didn’t plan well enough financially for Retirement. The Smartest thing I’ve done in my whole life is to keep me, my wife and my child from taking any of the Bioweapon shots! I lost my Brother and his Wife, along with a Cousin and his Mom. Not to mention 3 good Friends.

I’m SO glad I got to grow up in the 80’s before Home Computers & Cell Phones we’re something as common as they are today.

Re: I’ll tell you the one benefit of getting old
Many benefits!

I know exactly why I can be critical of technology!

I saw a lot of this coming like 50 years ago.

Especially over-hyping the abilities of technology vs REAL behavior.



By 1976, and pondering the Bicentennial, I was shocked at how little "time" 200 years really is.

It's no faster or slower than ever in my experience.

Experience is the best advantage, if you can remember your past.

I taught my children at a young age that learning how to remember is very important.

I won't give my age other than to say I saw my mom cry when she heard on the radio that JFK was shot and killed.

Old age and wisdom are not synonymous.

I've known children with an uncanny ability to explain the universe and its Creator to me, and I've known people in their 80's without a grain of common sense, discretion or the power to discern between good from evil.
