When you catch a cold by going out in the torrential rain yesterday and it takes longer to shake it off.
Sciatica,fucking Sciatica.:eek:
When you child wants a mobile phone because he is 11 and starting a new scool in case of emergency because he may miss a bus and you refuse because he can catch another ten minutes later.
having a hobby and purpose helps you live longer
Life is likely to last longer if it has a purpose and seems worthwhile, new research suggests.
Scientists found that pensioners with the greatest sense of well-being were 30% less likely to die within a decade than those who were least satisfied.
Researchers measured "eudemonic well-being" - an emotional state that relates to feeling in control, doing something you think is worthwhile, and having a purpose in life - in 9,000 English people with an average age of 65.
Over the next eight-and-a-half years, 9% of people in the highest well-being category died, compared with 29% in the lowest.
Taking into account a range of factors that could influence health and life-satisfaction, participants with the highest levels of eudemonic well-being were 30% less likely to die.
On average, they lived two years longer than those in the lowest well-being group.
Study leader Professor Andrew Steptoe, director of University College London's Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care, said: "These analyses show that the meaningfulness and sense of purpose that older people have in their lives are also related to survival.
"We cannot be sure that higher well-being necessarily causes lower risk of death, since the relationship may not be causal. But the findings raise the intriguing possibility that increasing well-being could help to improve physical health.

My granddaughter is coming up to 6, and guess she is having a Samsung tablet for Christmas,
I can't believe how good, small children are with technology.
Myself I think she is to young for a tablet, but what do I no my daughter say's Dad you have
to go with the times.
Suprisingly I can find a pawn shop that sell's record players. Wore my last needle out.
You know you're old when you know what it means to put a nickle or quarter wrapped in rubberband on top to avoid the scratch.;D
Did that to my Peter Frampton (do you feel..like we do..) haha!
......when you thought Hopkins had a chance bcuz he was around your age.
As an African-American I can't keep up with the lingo...at all.
My nephew came up to me this past weekend and said "Uncle, can I chop it up with you?"
And I said "Chop it up?:o Nephew, you dealin' cocaine and want me to chop it up for the sale?:eek:"
fortunately my cousin was there who is in his 30's and said, "naw man, thats the phrase for can we talk."
So I said "Oh, you mean you wanna rap to me about something, well lets rap a taste."
My nephew said, "Rap, Oh, thats what you old guys mean for flowin" Naw I don't wanna flow..I leave that for Lil Wayne and 'fifty..."
My cousin looked at my nephew and said "Naw man thats the phrase for... so you wanna talk about something."
Nephew: "yeah, Unc...I'm thinking about gettin a whip"
"I replied, "Whip? what you gotta kinky bitch into some satanic shit, betta' leave them kinda hoes alone!:o"
Cousin replied, Naw cuz, he means a car.
I replied "Oh a you mean a ride?"
My nephew said, "Well..yeah thats what a whip is for..to ride around.."
Me: In your ride, right?"
Nephew "What":confused:
When he told me he wanted a car (whip) and I saw a picture of it, I really told my age and I said:
"Oh yeah, that's fly" :cool:
Nephew: "Fly? naw Uncle... it aint no space ship, it's a whip." :(
Thank goodness my cousin was young enough to know his lingo and old enough to remember mines. He was like a translator for two relatives living on the same planet, but different worlds
When you start to lose your teeth. :(
Bald patch. Motherfucker. Never thought it would happen to me,but its fucking starting .:eek:
I am not vain in anyway,but not my hair.
You know you're old when you don't mind reading 36 pages of a thread called "Signs that you are getting older."
;D
Shall we start a obituary page.;)
I used to have black thick hair, now it two tone and thinning and your eye brow hair goes thick
long hair growing out of your ears.:vd:
Shall we start a obituary page
Only if we're fortunate to bury the trolls.
When you start growing random individual hairs on different parts of the back. What the heck is going on over there? Am I evolving into something else?
Older women look more like men.
You are getting old when.
You're out somewhere and see a toothsome honey, so you wink or maybe lift your eyebrows, and she laughs in your face or walks away giggling and shaking her head.
You can't get too pissed off because you've treated some older women the same way in the past.
Then your wife leans over and whispers, "You pathetic old fart, you couldn't take care of that anyway."
Damn, damn, and damn I hate being old! I have to say it's been fun getting here though.😜

When you remember the time that Saddo gay of the year award was a title no one wanted to win and was seen as a negative honour.
You have aches in your aches.
Running time sheets on this off day. The newest employee is #151.....I'm #8!
