Folks, there are pros 'n cons to getting old... I don't mean just "older", but OLD!! I'm almost 77 these days and while I do fully enjoy my retirement, there are couple things that come up to bite me more often than ever before. Like walking into a room, then can't remember why I'm in the room.
Thin skin is a big issue - I've always worked with my hands and had calluses a plenty. Never wore gloves for much of anything working. These days my skin is so thin it seems like I pick up every little sliver of steel in the area. That requires me to get a magnifying glass since my eyes are not what they used to be.
Old age isn't for sissies for sure.
OK, rant mode OFF. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
