Getting Old?

[gizzy32]

Do you remember being a kid and having all kinds of energy, not a care in the world and stress was being grounded for a day, lol. Life was all about having fun, yet most of us could not wait till we grew up. I remember saying I can't wait till i am older and can do what i want, what the hel l was i thinking, i would love to go back to childhood or early teens, life was so much different. Although I am not old (33) I have noticed some changes, maybe too cause I am clean and the past 5 or 6 years have been a blur, but damn i feel old somedays. Instead of waking up like i did as a kid and run for my box of cereal, i run for my coffee and chain smoke first hour of the morning, what a healthy start. I have noticed that my bones crack a lot more and old injuries seem to hurt again at times. I used to play hockey and run track and all kinds of sports, but now running up stairs i get out of breath and cramps, wtf. Now i am not out of shape completely, thank God for my job, but my stamina is not what it used to be ( only in one area has that improved) ha. I have also noticed i will say things like "i remember 20 years ago...............". I remember being 20 like it was yesterday, why am i talking about things from 2 decades ago? I sometimes have to use a heating pad for my back and i have moments of being a grumpy ole fart. What am I going to be like at 50? I hope i don't turn into one of those people that will keep your frisbee if it comes in my yard, complain about what's wrong with today's children and i really hope i don't ever have to wear depends, if that happens, they can pull the plug!!!

This is a pretty good way to put it
I didn't write it Loudon Wainwright III did

Here it goes:

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Son you look older than me and I'm 71
You're falling apart and not living right

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Loud, you've got to stop hanging out
With that olden crowd
Living's a battle and you're losing the fight

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Boy, your body is a temple, it's not a toy
Fill up this here paper cup and give it to the nurse
Don't spill it now

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Friend this should be the middle
But it could be the end
You better get better or else you're gonna get worse

Oh, I went to the doctor. Oh, I went to the doctor

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Sir we got back the x-ray everything's a blur
It's all positive that's what every single test shows

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Kid it was something that you ate or drank
It's something that you did
And it's all in your head and
It's spreadin on down to your toes
Let's spread it around a little bit now

Oh, I went to the doctor. Everybody does
Oh, I went to the doctor

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Please get on down to the drug store
And pick up some of these
After that get on home and get into your bed

I went to the doctor and the doctor said
Shucks that's just about all, you owe me 300 bucks
And you can call me in the morning
That is if you're not dead

2, 3, 4... Oh, I went to the doctor.
I was checkin up on you. Oh, I went to the doctor

[SophieShine]

I feel you. But wait till you get 40, it really starts hurting everywhere.
You....a grumpy old fart? Hard to believe.lol
