Isn't it just!
and if you aint got yer teeth then straws are very very useful
What do you hate about getting old?
I hate all the extra layers!
and I aint talking wrapping up warm!
that turkey neck under the chin!
gobble gobble!
awful just awful might have to wear a wig to hide it!
The white hairs in the eyebrows
the shame of it!
and if that wasn't enuff
deafness!
rubbish eyesight
and saying the same thing over and over again!
and this cold weather makes the joints so creaky!
yeah getting old sucks
but as Rob says I suppose is better than the alternative
what do you hate about getting old
or do you embrace it!

I wear Cuban heels, about 1 and half inch, which is what I have been wearing for the last 40 odd years, (not the same pair though)

Old age is not bad it's what comes with it like Northern Lass say's bad eyesight, deafness . grey hair and creaking joints I have got the lot also like Jimmy Arthritisin all my joints, the only thing I don't grumble about out of those is the 'grey hair' .

I don't take water tablets, and I only drink the lower strength Lager. I can't bend my big toe unless I bend it by hand.

1. Turkey neck, got one of those and it looks worse in different mirrors.
2. Dark hair on top lip.
3. Black hairs on chin.
4. Holding on to the bath when getting off and on the loo (too much information
)
5. Making sure that I look at every step when walking down the stairs.
6. Holding on to something to get up of my knees when I'm on the floor.
And I'm only 40

Why do we get that turkey neck!! and why won't it go!
no neck persons we become!
and you can't hide it with make up
only big scarves!
and it makes us look soooooooooooo old
