Whoever Coined the Phrase "The Golden Years"

...was obviously not there yet.  Shorter lips and eating a dog treat instead of your Dr Atkins protien bar is a sure fired sign that you're there (sigh).

I will be been retired for10 years as of end of December, I'm 69 years old.

 

Trust me, I've seen nothing golden nor have any gold in these 10 years yet. Nothing says "Golden Years" to me nor for me.

@PINKdogWOOD   I creak like a rusty gate even though I have a new hip (2018) and a new knee (2019).

 

Any light peach fuzz I had on my face is now like a full blown chia pet.

 

It takes twice as long to do 1/2 as much.

 

Yeah, it's grand.  Golden years my Aunt Fanny.

I saw a funny birthday card.

 

On the outside: REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO LAUGH AT OLD PEOPLE??

 

On the inside: WHAT WAS SO D*** FUNNY???

 

We all get there, and it really isn't funny!

Oh yeah @spiderw   Doctor, dentist, dermatologist, cardiologist, optometrist, opthamologist, podiatrist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, etc.  Every senior has a fleet of doctors, and it's nuisance to follow all their advice, but I try.

So glad to read these posts!  According to a FB group that I follow, I'm missing out on running marathons, travelling all over the world, and having more money than I could spend in a lifetime. Smiley LOLSmiley LOLSmiley LOL
