How often do you think about age?

My Dad died just shy of 88 when prostate cancer finally got him after 11 years. He had every "marble" he was born with until his last breath.
Mom finally succumbed at 90 after being active and with it until she had a stroke at 89; she declined rapidly after that and was in full dementia because of it - she suffered subsequent small strokes and barely knew us her last weeks. I hope I can avoid a similar fate - I'm in my 60's and have been very fortunate thus far, staying active and with it. People think I'm ten years younger than I really am - just getting out there and enjoying life.
I have a simple two word philosophy - Remain Curious!

They ‘travel on’ when you share them.
I don’t intend to live vicariously through my kids, but I do want to do what I can to pass on what I learned and experienced in my time.
Then they look at you with that teenager look and say, "are you done talking and can I go now".
To my view that’s like saying any party is a waste because it eventually comes to an end.
Enjoy it for its own sake.
I see what you are saying and agree about enjoying every day as much as possible. I am a firm believer in that.
But in the grand scheme of time it would be like entering the party and leaving before your got your first foot across the threshold. Our lifetime is just not enough. But as I said before it may be all that we have and one can hope there is more.
Same here. Not only do I not want to suffer for an extensive period, but I also don't want to be a burden to my wife/family. I may change my mind, but I am definitely in favor of assisted suicide.
My dad is still alive (85) and in pretty good health, and both his parents lived until their early 90's. My mom's side of the family is the complete opposite. Hopefully, I will take after my dad in that regard.
I think your Dad and my Dad must have hung out.
Where's that Midwest "ack-sent" from, by the way?
I've been thinking about a lot the past day, yesterday was my Birthday. I turned 38, I'm now going into denial mode, I'm not getting old!

Like the old Redskins Coach, Joe Gibbs said, "I'm in the 4th quarter of my life."
I'm 77 and probably the things I think about the most are my grandchildren. They are 14, 10, 8, and 8. Will I see them finish high school? How about marriage? Many questions.

I think about it because I turned 50 this year. But I got a new skateboard for my birthday that I ride every few days...it's all good.
Are you serious? I got on one after 20 years off, oh hell no, seems like a broken wrist (at best) waiting to happen.
Props to Tony Hawk, he was serious with skate or die.
I fell hard a few times the first few days. The worst part was the look on the kids faces when I'd fall, like, somebody call an ambulance.

I have underwear thats 38
A friend's nephew makes these. I thought about getting one last year. When I mentioned it to my daughter, the immediate look of fear on her face made me give it a second thought.

Pretty sure you need a trip to the store to replace your undies, at least once a decade. Solid rule. Or did you mean waste size?
I just turned 47, but I certainly don’t feel like it. I think back to when my dad was 47. I was in my last year at FSU, and I thought he was old. My oldest kid will start high school next year, but I can’t imagine having a kid that was about to finish college.
I know I’m in better shape than my parents were at that age. I run half marathons and marathons regularly, and no way could either of them do that when they were 47.
To me, it’s the way you act and not your age. I always tell my wife that I feel young at heart. On the flip side, we have friends who are close to us in age or younger that already act like old people. I see no fun in that.

Waste size? Courtesy flush first, then a second to clear the air. Jam is on the road a lot and prolly hits some fast food along the way.
No fast food for me, I wear Subway out on the road. They are everywhere.
