Got so many aches and pains I feel like I’m drowning - always had the mental stuff but this is add on.... not using a walker yet 👍

What might the alternative be?

I get that. I had a lot of issues, so I've felt old since 23.

I feel old too.

and I'm 30

No way - gotta be worth a fortune.... the map I mean!

I think I was born old.

Dang, I am 65 & I still maintain my own farm. I climb in & out of my huge truck bed tossing around bales of hay & sacks of feed. I still ride horses & that is after a reconstructed knee I blew out playing racquetball in my late 30's, a fractured hip (fall off a horse) in my mid 40's, neck fusion in my late 40's from an injury I must have gotten in college when I flew over the horses head after he bucked, & a compression fracture in my lower back from another horse incident. I get aches now & then but nothing that stops me from functioning like I need to to get work done

You tell 'im eskie. Mac seems to have talked himself into thinking and feeling old. I'm 62 and until my recent surgery probably thought i was in my 30's. Since it i know what it feels like to feel old. Less confidant, restricted movement, aches and pains etc. I've lost a bit of motivation but i'll get back to how i used to feel.
I seem to have gone from looking older in my 20's and 30's to looking younger in my 60's. At the hospital, when the nurses found out i was in my 60's ( still can't believe it) they said (blimey, we thought you were in your 40's). On the phone once recently when i said my age they said 'blimey ; i love that word; you sound about about 16 '. Haha , i don't know if that was an insult or a compliment.
Don't think old, don't act old, don't dress old, just be yourself.

Eskie, i would love to stay on your farm. I'm sure it would be an experience. I was saying to Gus that there are a few people on here who i wouldn't mind doing mutual visits with. My house isn't ready for it yet but if you fancy a trip to the uk and london one day maybe we could make it happen.

I have a hard time realizing the time has gone by so fast. And as I get older it goes by even quicker.

I am 71 and still feel 18!
