Things we’re worse at as we’ve aged

1. Roller Skating - it ain’t like riding a bike and the floor is further away.
2. Filleting a fish - I could fillet a panfish with no waste when I was 10. Not sure what happened.
3. Hoola hoop - tried this a couple of weeks ago and was shown up by a 4 year old.

Falling/Tripping
What’s up with that? Farther to fall or what? I’m sore for a couple days when I trip over something these days

I had a young lady called me to do an annual Medicare review , and she asked me if I was afraid of falling .
I told her “ hail yes I’m afraid of falling , aren’t you ? “

Sitting "indian style" or kneeling on a hard floor

Both excruciating with 52 year old knees
Sorry for the politically incorrect term, but I am too old to say "criss cross apple sauce"

Tripping and falling are easier now; the sudden stop hurts a lot more and getting vertical again takes a lot more time. The pain lasts a lot longer.

Remembering things! I go into a room and can't remember what in I went in to get! Case in point, I thought I posted this a few minutes ago and then I couldn't find it on the board!

That’s starting to happen to me. Caught myself looking for my keys the other day and they were in my hand. A true Homer “Doh!” moment.

as much as a thought of gaining an ounce when I was younger. Now days it's all about what I eat and the constant fight to keep excess weight off.
Also - going to the gym and exercising just isn't as fun as it used to be...in fact it is rather "not fun" as I get older.

As I've aged (soon to be 62), I've noticed that I'm quicker to ache and longer to heal.

Adapting/accepting change, being open-minded, being tolerant. Having said that...Many do trend the other direction...I find myself in that camp.

1. Haven't done that in 30 years, so I ain't gonna risk it
May 15, 2020, 8:52 PM

now. 2. Can filet with the best of 'em still. I think I can anyway. 3. I tried that maybe 20 years ago, and I wondered what they did to the hoops. Those things use to go round and round, now they just make about a half hitch around and hit the ground.

Wait until you learn something new, and try to explain it to your kids, and they say "Dad, we've been doing that for years. Is there anything else that we can teach you?". Oh yeah - it happens. Dadgum young whippersnappers.

Bending at the knees to pick up stuff us to be easy. With the knees now, not so much. Losing weight was easy when younger. Getting to all the Clemson games and now the chosen few. The five hour one way drive is a lot harder now. Can’t remember the rest. Lol

I would like to emphasize one thing that I have improved with age and that is PROCRASTINATION. For example. A task that required maybe an hour, I can now do in two or three days if it's a rush job. I made a list of things I was going to do after I retired. I retired on Feb. 28, 1986. There are still several items on that list I plan to tackle as soon as I can find time.
Another area in which I've improved. I now go to the bathroom at night more times than I did during my younger days.

Don’t think of it as procrastination Joe. Think of it as delegating tasks to your future self.
