It's definitely not for the weak...aging is rough work!

those are GENERAL figures. I'll bet a 60 year old who lifts weights has nicer muscles than that.

I can never figure out why, but the prospect of getting shorter has always bothered me. .4 inches every 10 years after 40?!? Yikes!

I didn't get any further than this:

Imma just pop my coke bottle bottoms on my forehead and stick the reading matter in front of my nose, will be able to read a newspaper for a looong way to come.

If I get shorter, does this mean that I can buy a new bike? Originally Posted by Iris616

I won't read it!!!
I don't deny I'm aging, and I think I'm now five feet instead of 5' 1".
But... I do things today that I didn't do when I was 30 or 40. Sure, I am not the fastest rider (but I'm not the slowest, either), but I am riding, as opposed to most of the people I know who are my age and just sit around, complaining they are getting fat.
So what if I wear reading glasses? I've been very nearsighted since I was eight years old and that was worse. Now I get to wear stylish reading glasses over my contacts!

I don't need to wear any reading glasses yet (I'm 49)... and when it happens, there will be the typical problem I seem to have..which I don't like in myself..misplacing glasses...like misplacing my housekeys occasionally...which includes my bike lock key.
I'm prone to bad gums...but not prone to cavities...even though I have consumed more food with sugar in the past 15 yrs.
