Akup7ich,  every year seems to get worse. Sorry for the grim news.  Best advice is to try not to let it get away from you. It is like my metabolism bottomed at at 50. Huge difference between 45 and 50 - for me anyway. I've gained 10 lbs literally out of nowhere (truly - always eating healthy and exercising). I wish I had an answer. Took me 3 months to gain ten pounds and I'm way past fad diets as I just want to be healthy and strong. I hate cutting all carbs bc I don't think it is healthy to cut out an entire food group but I swear I think it was fruit (insulin resistance) that did it for me. I'm  trying a pre-diabetic med, prescribed by my endocrinologist, metformin, that is supposed to help combat the level of insulin in my body. Prescribed off label and still have to eat super clean but I'm in hopes it will help.  I've got a closet full of clothes that, all of a sudden I can't wear and it is so frustrating. 

Sorry for the tangent (and kind of hijacking your thread) but I just turned 52 and want my 40 yo body back. Uncomfortable like this. 

Heck! I want my 51 yo body back! This gain has come out of nowhere.

Ha!!!  Roger, I want my 52 year old body back!!!  You see, it's all relative and when I catch myself feeling that way I try to imagine myself ten years from now wanting "this" body back and that helps me to appreciate the "now".

 
Hey Suzie! It's so true---  I need to just enjoy NOW and maybe pick up a pair of elastic waist pants! And be HAPPY! 

 
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ELDERS​
Now that I’m on a fixed income, I’ve disconnected my home alarm security system ... I’ve also turned of my exterior safety lights, and resigned from Neighborhood Watch ... I now fly nasty looking BEWARE and EVEN MY PETS R ARMED flags at my entry, along with one in  the black flag of ISIS ... It’s so peaceful now ... my neighbors, the police, the Security Service and the Armed Forces are all keeping watch on my house 24/7 ... I’m watched everywhere I go ...I’ve never felt safer and I’m saving $149.50 a month! 

 
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
These R the symptoms: 

I decide to water my garden ... As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing ... As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier ... I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car ... I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full ... So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first ... But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take
out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first ... I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left ...My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking ...

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over ... The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold ... As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers
on the counter catches my eye--they need water ... I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my glasses
that I've been searching for all morning after seeing that "have you seen" person when I woke ... I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote ... Someone left it on the kitchen table ...I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers...

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on to the floor ... So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill ...Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do...

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired.

P.S. - I keep this reminder everywhere...k

I just blew hamburger all over my iPad i am laughing so hard.

,  hahahaahahahahahahahahhah

 
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention I failed to take the hamburger meat from the "ice box", (when did we change that name), so went to the phone for an "order-out" ... well ... you understand what I mean .... (IF U REALLY DO UNDERSTAND, PLEASE SEND A NOTE OF EXPLANATION) ...

 
Well I guess I have been kind of lucky so far.. I am in my 50's and haven't found my body (or mind) drop off any so far. None really...  Father time is undefeated though...  I know this  :-)

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
