You know I was 18 just the other day. Now tipping on sixty, can't hear a dam* thing, got hymroids, my balance nerve is fu*ked up(just found out) so I'm off balance all the time. To add to all that, my hands tremble, can't see, it's harder to lose weight and I have to drink prune juice to sh*t.

The pi*ser of it all is, I'm still eighteen in my mind.

well, Bob, the last time you were 18 people were shooting at you...

which would you rather have???

Thanks Bob, I checked it out. I keep up with the boys through our own website set up by John Brummel. Most of these guys took our place after we rotated back to the States. It is nice to know what happened to your old outfit after one leaves.http://www.brummal.com/5th_155mm_Gun_BatteryPhoto.htm

Thanks again,

Bob

I hate this "getting old" shi(f)t, myself.

break, break

Now all to do is work harder to stay 18.

To better and better, and given ya'lls "i'm still 18", but my body is killing me".

Fugg!t. Order it to better. W
Figure and work it. Do something besides B!tc# about it.

Do a few jump squats. Do some stuff to figure and better manage your conditions.

Erl, believe me, I'm no couch potatoe. I get up and do 30 sit ups plus stretching exercises. 25 pushups. Get on my rowing machine everyother day for 20 minutes. I'm getting ready to start two new houses that I will build mostly by myself and sail the ocean blue.

But still, all that said, "getting old is a bi*ch".

Yeah it is, but it beats not getting old As long as I'm still having them, birthdays are cool.

Do I know you? Have we ever met? Do we know any of the same people?

You slow down one step next year my FRIEND, and I'll be all over azz, like white on rice.

Give Dubber and the Family my love. I'll call ya on Christmas Day.

Hmmm....

Um ....Bob, you didn't say anything about rest. Ask your doctor: would 12 hours a day be good for you?

I mean, you appear to be being beat down by the bad stresses of your mind and body.

I'm starting to feel bad, too. Everyone around my age is either dead or sick.

I hate to start an argument with John about the health benefits in "slowing down" ....and to ordering up good and better lifestyle choices.

The answer to good health is all around you---in nature and spritual things.

Jack LaLanne is a "couch potato" at 93. In and between his 2 hour exercise routines I'll bet he prays / meditates, too.

Jack LaLanne quotes

--Erl

The practice of mindfulness, of bringing the scattered mind home, and so of bringing the different aspects of our being into focus, is called Calm Abiding.

All the fragmented aspects of ourselves, which had been at war, settle and dissolve and become friends. In that settling we begin to understand ourselves more, and sometimes even have glimpses of the radiance of our fundamental nature. --Sogyal Rinpoche
