Growing Old
Growing old is a lot like having kids. Nobody gives lessons, there's no instruction book or learner's permit and nobody tells you the truth. Sure I heard that growing old isn't for sissies, but damn, that doesn't begin to sum up the indignities of aging. Golden years, my behind!
Body parts that we never knew we had, hurt or fail to operate with normal use. Hair grows on your chin and falls off your head. Ugly brown "liver" spots miraculously appear on your hands. Your feet can suddenly grow a half size and those pants you've worn for the past couple of years shrink in your closet. Not to mention that your nose and ears continue to grow forever.
Myopic eyes (near sighted) never pass 20-20 on their roller coaster ride to presbyopic. Bifocals, or trifocals become the norm with no guarantee that you'll ever be able to read the fine print.
If you're lucky, you still have your teeth, but who cares because your stomach refuses to digest in the requisite manner. Let's not even go there when it comes to other digestive functions.
Add insult to injury, your boss refers to you as the senior whatever, and then has to explain that he didn't mean your age. During your review, he asks when do you plan to hang it up.
But...I suppose it beats the alternative plan.

Every day I wake up and am not staring at Roots, I consider a plus day.....
Kinda depressing, isn't it though. Throughout my life I had these great plans for when I retire. Never occurred to me that I might not be healthy enough (or my wife) to do what I wanted to do. But I'm finding that out now.
With old age many health problems arises like diabetes, hair-loss, obesity, erectile dysfunction, etc.
In old age also mens desire the same sexual desire as young mens but due to failure of keeping erection for long duration makes them depressed.
This problem can be surely treated with generic viagra.
