Aging

[PapaScout]

What's up with all of the elderly scooters and wheelchairs being sold on here recently? It's depressing. Like hearing a Metamucil commercial on Q95 and realizing that I'm not 30 anymore...

When my parents were gone we had 2 of those things to unload. They were kind of fun to race around the house.

Am I pathetic and sad to want one so I can roll to the frig to get a beer?

Nah.....

Getting old sucks but it beats the current alternative.

Here to tell.....

I wonder how well they work going down the stairs.

 

[PapaScout]

I bet they would get you cleeeeear to the bottom!

I've had one listed here, it was for my friend's dad. Wish I could program it to go get a beer for me, that would be great!

Might be a bit bumpy. I'll have to get hubby to build a ramp that we can zoom up and down and then we could buy two and race!

I can tell you that a wheelchair and stairs for the stage in a high school auditorium don't mix. Wheelchair football wasn't one of our brightest ideas.

My wife and I chuckled at one of the recent "Funny Picture Thread" offerings of the assistance chair for the stairs stating "This thing drives me up the wall."

Obviously all of this is an unconscious collection of the concerns we face as an aging generation attempting to exist in a world which doesn't seek out (or require) experience from bygone times. (Or maybe it's just the donuts talking...)

I find that misogynistic and offensive...but in a funny way

Getting old isn't for wimps! It's amazing how our perception of what is old changes with how old you are. At 16 anyone over 30 was old. At 30 anyone over 50 was old. Now in my middle 50's anything over 75 is old!! But I think at any age we all can agree, Churchmouse is old!!!

Completely agree with this (other than Churchmouse - never met him). Days and years get shorter with the more experience you have to compare it against. I'm 45 but feel like I'm still in my 20's...until I look in the mirror.

Just don't look in the mirror then! I tell everyone I am 29 and they give me funny looks, but it is how I feel! My 24 year old daughter told me I have to give that up, but I am not going to!
