That’s the problem Jim! I don’t know if I have them (whatever they are). The only sign I can detect is that my hair has become sun bleached, oh and the ear hair thing…
Genetics, genetics, genetics. Lots of hours in cosmetic parlors. And discipline. Look at John Barrowman, or Tom Cruise. Guys in their late 40’s looking like early 30’s. It can be done.
Btw, hands might be the first indicator of the onset of age, a little dryer skin. Apply moisturizer. And talking about hair: Neck hair, that greyish-white fuzz, also one of the signs.

I think I do Jim! It’s the Post Office, which reminds me, I had better take the post rather than rambling on here! TTFN! 🙂

Banupa, Your only here once, so stop worrying about getting older, just squeeze as much out of life as you can whilst you are able.
You never know whats around the corner.;)

Banupa. Why the obsession with your quest?. If you find the need for a product to make you look/keep younger, you have already realised the signs you are seeking from us, ie that you are getting older.:o

Forget it. Just accept that you are going to age and there’s nothing you can do about it – delaying just makes the final onset even worse!!:diablo:

Well chaps, thanks for your observations, but they somehow don’t seem to be relevent to the claims of a certain purveyor of skin care products! I need to know what they actually mean! Help!!!:confused:

We are making the assumption that “ageing” refers to becoming old, not older. We are all ageing from the moment we are born and at every stage there are signs that we are getting older. The transformation from infancy to childhood to adolescence and so on. And the tell-tale signs are always there.
Perhaps many of you know it but this speech from As You Like It has always summed it up for me:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Some of us are approaching the last scene of all!!!:D

Hair (less on head, more in ears and nose)
Belly (harder to keep from expanding)
Knees hurt
Sympathizing with Eastwood’s character in “Gran Torino”
Buying cars with softer suspension
Coming across more and more people that are younger than yourself
Sleeping in the car is not cool any more – and you know it
You have learned to play social games with people and to send the right signals to achieve your goals
You can trigger the right buttons with most women – but it’s not as funny any more as it would have been 15 years ago
Sometimes you wonder where the years have gone …

Kev. As you say, it’s a double edged sword. I believe that medical science is the fastest growing science in the world, as you say re heart attacks etc.
This is what gets me more than cross when I hear of the money this Government wastes every single day on things that do not matter.
Dementia,is one area, that deserves more money pumping into finding a cure than any other medical problems we suffer.
Cancer reaserch is funded by Joe Public, why?. I ask myself, when we sling money around on things I could say.but wont.

Not snapping your head off at all, just responding to your comments. Not looking for praise either, it’s just something I have to do. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the same position. Linking it back to your NHS thread it’s an example of how the NHS is a victim of its own efficiency. Treatment and care have improved beyond recognition. Years ago the stroke or heart problems he had would likely have killed him, but new medical treatments have prevented those problems killing my Dad, but they can’t do anything about his dementia. Sometimes it’s a double edged sword.

It’s about getting up at stupid o’clock in the morning and going to bed at stupid o’clock the next morning and surviving everything that gets thrown at me between those times. Some may have the impression that I’m a sour or po faced old git but humour plays a large part in helping me to retain my sanity. Sometimes, the two 84 year olds I am carer for are an absolute nightmare, at other times they are my salvation.
Swings (and very old) roundabouts.

Kev. Don’t snap my head off. I have told you before how I admire what you do and what you go through.I.M.H.O. I think folk like you deserve a medal for not just dumping both into a Care home. I am sure it’s very wearing having to do the things you have to do, I could only just cope with my Mother let alone two folks.
