Well it's late at night and I'm the only one up pretty much again. Cheers! Just getting something to eat.

Other symptoms include having to go to the bathroom a lot and CRS (Can't Remember Stuff).
Yes I have to go to the bathroom a lot, but I still remember stuff. Not sure I graduated to old man yet!

I enjoy getting older. Not old enough to appreciate the downsides yet.
Yeah let me know if you find any downsides. Some people never do find them. I pray you be blessed as such. My grandma lived to 91 and was happy the whole time. The lady at the bakery said her grandma smoked and drank a lot of beer and lived to 93 and was happy. I think God just takes care of people and loves them.

Pregnancy has helped me gain a special insight into the beauty of time passing and aging. The youth and looks I had at 16-19 served their purpose---I found a husband! Now Im having a baby. There are reasons and a purpose to each season and if we hang on to the past, we might miss out on the gifts the current season is bringing us.

I have no desire to look like a teenager---only the healthiest version of myself now at 28. When Im old and wrinkly, I hope to be surrounded by grandchildren and rejoice at their season of youth.

There was a sweet, elderly lady my wife and I used to drive to church and choir practice and the like when she could no longer safely operate a motor vehicle (the Trustees had to rebuild the planter she ran into), and I remember her biggest frustration with being 80-something: "I just can't DO anything anymore!"

God willing, I still have a couple of decades before I get to that stage.

That is sad but I don't like when the elderly think of themselves as useless. Even if you get so broken down that all you can do is lie in bed, never count yourself out. You can still pray for your family, for salvations, for this world.

It's not over till it's over. Finish the race well.

You're doing great @Lambano. My dad is still doing great at 76. May you have many blessed years!

Good morning CB. Got stuff to do this morning so I'll be out for a while. I got into a thread about LDS doctrine yesterday and probably argued a little too much, but it was a learning experience for me and I wanted to explore the ideas in-depth and with honest truth which I did. I found out that Jesus promised the rich man that he would be saved if he obeyed the commandments perfectly. But I also realized that was probably impossible for us to do with out current psychi's. :) So we must hope to be saved and I'll make the sinners prayer for me.
