Hi Pioneer and all Senior Eagles, I hope you all have a good day today. I'm up late again!

Very mild in the UK at the moment, but a bit wet. I love autumn too - it's my favourite, except that the house can get a bit cold; it's solid walls so no cavity insulation. Better than being too hot though imo!

I hope the adjustments are okay for both of you and that the Lord is with you in them.

I will be 80 on Thanksgiving day this 2021. I won't bother you with all the health problems because I asked God "please don't let my mind go bad" and so far, it is still intact.
Anybody here older than myself?

Me way older. I come from a lineage of descendants that go far beyond a century.

150 years old is not uncommon.

Keep it quiet though, if the scientific community hears about it they will cut me up. To find out why I live for so long. People get so jealous. Some people tell me I am lying when I tell them my age. I do admit I look far too young for my age. Me not mention my age anymore it makes people miserable.

I was talking to a seventy year old fellow the other day, just out of school I thought. He needed knee operations, hip replacement, shoulder reconstructions. He was a diabetic and had a quadruple bypass. God help that fellow.

The coffee is so good this morning.

Did someone mention coffee. Going to the coffee shop is the first thing I do when I wake. I have been a coffee addict longer than most people live. The secret to a long healthy life is that early morning coffee fix.

 

[tturt]

That's remarkable klutedavid - way older than 80 yrs.

Yes, they would investigate.

Agree with your secret to a long healthy life!

I drink decaff; but I'm one of those school kid seventy year olds (girl not fellow though) so maybe I'm not old enough yet for the caffeine!

Hello all from one of the 70+ year olds. Just at my elevenses now - herbal tea. Running late today and had to take son to hairdresser for hair wash and cut. I'll go tomorrow. Don't like being out of the house too long, due to husband's condition.

It's a bit cold, damp and windy in this neck of the woods - getting more like November than October.

Better get on with a bit of work here - lots to do - looking forward to a weekend break with my sister, brother and sister-in-law. Two other siblings will join us for Sunday lunch.

Be blessed this day!

Gillian

Thank you. Hope you do also.

Yeah, I'm only 71, but people/places names are starting to escape me

George Burns (94 when he died) had it summed up.

First, he said, you forget names. Then you forget faces.

Third you forget to pull your fly up.

Last stage you forget to pull your fly down.

I kept dropping things so my daughter got me one of those pick-it-up things (what do you call them?) ... trouble is I keep dropping the pick-it-up gadget so the back's still aching ... it reminds me of the old man who said "these days when I bend down to pick something up I look around for what else I can do while down there".

I think as we age our skin become dry and things slip easily out of our grip. Also our fingerprint ridges wear down, which also weakens our grip.

What were you doing when you heard Kennedy was shot? It seems most people are able to recall the moment, it was so shocking. I was on a bus at night coming home from a party with some friends - in those days we used to carry around little transistor radios with us and played them rather loudly to annoy the older folks ... now I am one of the grumpy older folks

I was in the army, stationed in Korea. We were awakened at 4:00 a.m. and assembled to hear that the 'Commander-in-Chief had been assassinated. All forces in Korea went on "Alert" combat readiness status for several days following.
