A BIG GRN for all the oldersters here on DU!
--- I've sure gotten old! I'v e had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. I've fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. I have bouts with dementia, poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. I can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. I've lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license

--- An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she&nbs p;had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I can be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."

13. I'm 46 and I never looked or felt better, but last year alone--
I had TWO transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes) and I have EIGHT coronary stents and two more in my BRAIN.

But dammit, I'm here, and I'm gonna kick some elephant ass while I can!
