Middle Age Sucks...

[Bbbananas]

Since attaining the great age of half a century only a few months ago, I have developed new symptoms such as - dyspepsia & heartburn. My heart problem seems to be recurring. My back is easily put out, my ankle took 3 months to heal from a minor injury, I have a constant headache & stuffed sinuses.

Are there any actual benefits to getting older???????

[Sqad]

None....none whatsoever.....and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Hi! darling.

[Barmaid]

Yes you can be rude to people and everyone thinks "It's her age"......

You can also dance like a loon at family weddings and everyone things "ah bless".

Seriously, no benefits whatsoever that I can identify.

[Bbbananas]

Bugger that answer. There have to be some, surely? :-(

[Barmaid]

[Bbbananas]

Of course Bar x
I have always danced like a loony. And people have always thought "ah, bless" or "it's her age".

And unfortuantely yes, I reached 50 3 months ago. And I don't like it one bit (apart from the granddaughter).

[Bbbananas]

Ah - there is that tambo!!!!

Jeez canary - I said 50, not bleedin' 60......

[Postdog]

Yes, plenty - I can't say what now though cos my memory has gone.

[pastafreak]

You can 'not give a ****'....and show it ;-))

[Canary42]

You youngsters are so demanding :)

For 50, how about Saga (cheap insurance, cheap holidays with lots of old moaners in hotels which would be empty otherwise owing to their poor standards).

[Bbbananas]

I think I'll stay at home. Or go sailing. But I can't tack as nimbly as I used to :-(

[sunny-dave]

SAGA - used to stand for

'Send A Granny Abroad"

but has been re-branded as

"Sex And Games for the Aged"

<allegedly>

I read recently, age is a terrible price to pay for maturity. Very profound ;-)

[Bbbananas]

A bit like a black banana :-(

[Bbbananas]

I didn't mean that in quite the way it came across.....

Well, I'm 55 and best beloved is still waiting for me to grow up! I have no intention of ever doing so I firmly believe that while growing older is mandatory, growing up isn't. The good thing about being older is that I care not a jot about what anybody thinks about me, my behaviour or what I look like! It's their problem not mine, though I will confess that the arthritis is a total pain in the ............
