What A Drag It Is Getting Old

If you were born in the 50's or 60's there may be a Rolling Stones song running threw your head after reading my blog title.

 

Every other Saturday I put together my two week supply of pills.

Vitamins and Suppliments

 Now on the positive side of things everything you see is a vitamin or a supplement except for thyroid pills. Also on the positive side is that we have an outlet store here where nothing above cost more than $2 or $3.

 

At 60 years of age, and having two teenage kids, let me say I'm in no hurry to kick those kids out of the house. I'm going to need someone around to push my wheel chair around before long (if I live long enough to make it to a wheel chair).

 

If you are at the stage of your life where you are looking for a house that will accommodate more than one generation/family so you have care and loved ones close by, or if you are looking for a home that will be wheel chair friendly just in case you need it, please give National Marketing Realtors a call. If we can not find one for you we have a close relationship with several contractors that will build that home for you.

Do you remember that expression "No Pain, No Gain", John McCormack I'm wondering at 60 what the heck I'm gaining??? I must say however that I DO get satisfaction that Mick is still out there doing what he obviously loves.

Bruce Walter so true!

I hope you guys caught the whole blog as the darn thing disappeared on me with only one sentence remaining so I had to re-post it.

You are welcome Bruce Walter this has happened to me MANY times and I've learned to write everything in word so when it disappears I can resurrect it. Thank you for coming back!

Thanks Raymond E. Camp , Centrum is my choice as well!

Bob- you were right.... that song popped into my head (and is still there) as soon as I read your title.  Oh yes, those things you swore wouldn't happen to you get the last revenge, don't they.

I have a similar looking bin in my pantry and I'm only 39! At this rate my bin is going to double by the time I'm 60!

Hey Bob.  Look at you all dolled up in your fancy suit.  Very nice!!!!  

I was born in '56 so i can relate all too well.  I get a kick out of the fact that I can take 5 pills at one at dinnertime.  Then I only have two more to take at bedtime.

I'm glad to read those are vitamins . . .  I was going to say, for at least 10 years up here, the pharmacies sort them into a blister pack for a full 7 days, 4x a day.  Ensures no mistakes are made and easy to change if med orders get changed too.  This is just part of the service and there is no charge.

You are so right Kathy Streib  , when I was in my 20's I never thought I'd be an old man some day. At least not a rickety old man.

Nicole, I'm amazed as you appear as fit as a fiddle as they say.

 

Thanks Belinda, I thought it was time to look like a business man on my social pages. As far as the number of pills it is amazing they all go down at once.

 

Frank, I forgot to mention my heart pills.

 

Susan, that's a great idea however at what I call "the drug store rummage sale" where the items are $2.00 to $3.00 your lucky to get a bag to put them in.

Who doesn't love the oldies music. Especially, when you were there when they were first released. Enjoy your health and life every day.

Lou Ludwig I'm sure if it wasn't for those vitamins and supplements I would have had that heart attack sooner and it would have been more sever.

William Feela me too... but define waste, I love a good 15 to 20 minute nap.

Thanks Bob Publicover oldies and Solid Gospel are all I listen to these days.

Happy Sunday Bob,  I hate to say but I have lots of pills to take in the morning and afternoon.  Wonder what they did in the old day without all these pills?

Hi Bob "RealMan" Timm , You're right about getting older.  We bought a Lawn Mower today and my wife and I struggled to put the box on the cart in the store.  We asked for help loading it into the back of our vehicle.  The young man reached down and picked it up, as if it were a box of chocolates. It's a good thing he didn't eat it.

When I first heard it Grant Schneider I think I was focused on the Valuim and you are right, who ever would have thought WE would get old?
