The hardest part of getting older.......

[bubbadave3]

The hardest part of getting older for me is... ah, I think it's... ah, well... oh crap!  I FORGOT! 

Seriously though, I really don't like being talked to like I'm somehow now less intelligent as I am hitting 59.  I have had sales people noticeably shift how they talk to me like I was a in-firmed old fool! Pisses me off!    If that's not bad enough... having some hottie hold the door for you and call you "SIR"!   

My short-term memory is shot!  I'll head upstairs, walk into our bedroom, forget why I headed up there, only to remember when I'm halfway back down the stairs.  I have to write everything down immediately!  And my hearing is getting worse, (which is annoying, especially since I'm pursuing a counseling degree).

Same here. I live by Post-It notes!

And my hearing is getting worse

This too. Phone conversations are really challenging.

only thing that bugs me is that it takes longer to get out of bed. the mind still feels like it is in the mid twenties. but the back sometimes feels about 120. but, at least i can still play with the kids. this makes me think of another topic. look for it!
