OK, I feel old now.
I can't stand up, grab my foot and extend my leg completely, without stretching first anymore.

*sigh*

3. I can do that.
Right before they cart me off to the hospital with a detached leg.

7. At one time I could stick both feet behind my head at the same time
Now I can only touch my right heel to my ear and my left toe to my ear.

I need to stretch more.

10. This is why, as we get older,
it becomes imperative to find SOMEONE ELSE'S toes to suck. ;-)

22. This is plainly retribution for that Rita McNeil joke three weeks ago
I thought I'd gotten away with it. :banghead: Hmm... that does distract from the pain in my leg.

26. Gah, I know how you feel...
I get back "injuries" at the drop of a hat now. I'm finding that most of the time I stand up I saying ouch.

Pathetic! and I'm only 34. *sigh*

33. Omigod, at age 61 ( and not holding!) I'm older than all of you, and
my joints are a MESS! Esp. my right shoulder, which is full of nasty, bony spurs...This is what happens when you don't stand up straight, and when you have arthritis...I'm trying to fix my posture, but this is difficult at my age. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that these things happen, they are normal and natural; you just do the best you can with what you have, where you are! I'M NOT DEAD YET!!! And old is better than dead, IMHO!
