    i've seen people be wrecked before 50. you have to take care of yourself. wh
    i've seen personally is that if you don't slow down, you end up doing better.

    That is true of my father, knock-on-wood. He is nearing 80, has remained fairly active, and seems to be without most of the aging issues that affect others his age (and my age, as you pointed out!).

    speaking of old age, i woke up to an hour long leg pain that was super horrible. it ended up being some kind of cramp.
    i thought i was hydrated enough. maybe it was something i ate, too.
    i also had a weird allergic reaction to my epson salt with lavender bath.
    hands are red and swollen.

    i took musle relaxer and benedryl and wild turkey.
    doing better now.

    but wow, the pain. never felt anything like it before. i thought my thick just tore in half inside. i was screaming out loud.

    well, they're idiots. i work with a man who's 68 and moves faster than
    me and climbs ladders and other things.

    I saw a picture of Danny Elfman from Coachella this weekend, and he's ripped
    - at 68! At first, he almost looked like Carrot Top. :}


    ... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.

    you have to take care of yourself. there's people in my family who
    were using a walker at 35. they said they had 'genetics' but they had those frozen snicker bars in the freezer. they said they had bad knees
    but they never walked. i have those same knees and i go up and down ladders all day. they hurt but i'm also real heavy.

    I'm 56 and way overweight. I was between jobs a while ago and found a temp
    gig to help cover. It involved replacing hundreds of APs in a military base, which involved working on ladders, racking and stacking controllers, and hauling ladders all around the base (there wasn't always parking near the buildings we were working on...)

    I did 8 weeks of that, walking 20-25K steps and doing all hands-on work
    after years of management. I was proud of myself for being able to do it,
    but wouldn't want to have to do that for a living again!
