Very funny video about aging...

[oceanluvr]

This was a guest speaker at an actual Conference on Aging in California; The speaker is a weatherman, but SHOULD be a stand up comic.   Attendees were young and old alike, male and female.

This is super, and regretfully much too true.  Thanks for sharing.

Nothing funny about aging inmho. I have spent the last year dealing with bad health care people. I have NPH and no one calls me back.    >:(

The way I look at it, it's going to happen (if you're lucky), so you may as well make the best of it and find humor in it where you can.   Some of it's not so humorous, but there you go.

I haven't figured out the aging formula yet.  I have the evaporated legs of a 90 year old cripple and the arms and torso of a healthy gorilla.
 True the hands sometimes go numb and they always tingle, but I can still strangle a cow.
 When I lift weights the bones in my right shoulder creak and snap from being shattered and healed and the scapula has a strange twang but I can still lift the weights.  True, I can't actually do burnouts with my wheelchair cause the push rims will bend, but I still wheel 2 to six miles a day in it.
 Besides the tires are expensive.

For crying out loud, i am sick and tired of you old fools who are soooooo ready to pounce on anyone who posts something that YOU find offensive or not to your liking.  I have never been on any other forum where I have read so many negative or critical postings.  I posted this as a humorous take on the inevitable, yet we have some CRANKY OLD FOOLS complaining.   Well, even after paying my annual dues, which btw is a lot more than many of you KNOW IT ALLS ever do, I am fed up ...you can all go to hell.  15 years on my boating forum and never, not once was there any crap....3 years on here and i have had it!  Go shove it!    You old fools....

Who are "the old fools" to which you refer?    There were only 4 posts responding to what you'd put up, 3 of them including mine were in agreement with you, and the other was just a comment.    

Unless THIS post was a joke, parodying a grumpy old man shaking his stick at the kids in his yard, in which case it's sort of funny but a bit over the top ..... ?

I'm having some warm milk and then to bed.

  The only thing I read which was critical was oceanluvers response to people commenting on a COMEDY video.
  If he goes away I won't feel a loss.

I blame the monkey-gland extract.   

Sometimes people have something else on their mind, and are just looking for a reason to explode in a completely disproportionate rant and take their glove and go home, possibly unrelated to the subject at hand.   Sounds like what happened here.

OL is a Floridian, they only have straight roads, that & aging is like nitroglycerin. He tried to push it down with a funny video.

OL I hope you take a road trip out of state, re-read this thread & decide to come back.

That'd be good.   Maybe the trigger was that sudden "first" facing of one's own mortality?  Happens to the best of us .....

I thought the guy was funny.  According to him @ 71 my body is in great shape compared to all the ailments he was referring to.  8) If a person has no sense of humor he/she isn't going to live long.

[stmike]

I enjoyed this video - even watched the whole 15 minutes of it, and sent it on to friends.  Maybe there were some posts deleted by a mod that we didn't get to see?  Otherwise OL's rant and storming off doesn't make any sense.

Never a good thing when one of us bails out. Nothing I like to see..
There ain't that many of us gootsie freaks out there, I don't think. :BEER: We need them all.

oceanluvr, you've had some great posts.
Keep em' comin', brother. 

~reminder to self: this is a discussion board. If I put it out there, I am soliciting other peoples comments..
