Ever Want to Just Slap Somebody?

I forget that someday I'LL be 81.

I love optimists! I'm shooting for 83!

I'm shooting for triple digits, as long as I'm capable. I'm not old by any stretch but when I turned 60, it made me realize just how quickly those years flew by. If I blink, I'll be 80. My Dad lived to age 88 and he died in his sleep. I'm thinkin' I was born into the lucky gene club. No matter what age, though, it's important to take care of ourselves so that something like this doesn't happen to us. I would love to have read that the 81 year old woman jumped out of the car and kicked that snot's behind. This story made me decide to get back into kickboxing and I just bought a new bike today. Of course, it's raining and I can't ride it but I will!

we had a lady admitted in the hospital the other nite that is 110!

yes - Donna- I hope you make it past 81!
Don't get me wrong, I've seen lots of accidents in my 10 year career that have involved older people that shouldn't be driving. BUT I've also seen 16, 20,30,40,50,60,70 year olds that shouldn't be driving either!

I hope this lady's body heals quickly. It will probably take longer for her mind. I can only imagine what she's going through.

Regarding age ~ Bobcat will turn 80 this summer. He just had his 3rd hip replacement surgery. He was only in the hospital ONE night and he was well enough to leave. 2 weeks after surgery, he's driving himself around to his own doctor appointments. I pray that I will be as healthy has he when I get to be his age.

The older lady who was injured had surgery this morning. No word yet
on how she is doing. One thing is certain, she will be dealing with her
injuries for a long, long time. It's just so senseless.

Yes, and it's sometimes difficult for older people to heal, especially if they're bedridden for a while. Violence is glorified; all we need to do is watch You Tube. Kids are beating up each other on a daily basis, it seems. No wonder they move on to the defenseless because they won't fight back.
