The 50-Plus Room - for

Will I harsh anyone's mellow if I take the stand that I have no intention of ever completely retiring?

I’ve backed off but I do work ‘things’ nearly seven days a week because I enjoy it.

I'm with you there, I'll never fully retire as long as I have the strength and energy to work.

Morning Geronimo, I guess it's only the Brits and me who are awake already.

6:45 a.m. here. my writing time. oh, and coffee!

 

[hilton1958]

I'm two hours ahead of you, bit it will revert to one hour at the end of the month. I'm having my second coffee now, which is actually my traditional post sex cappuccino.

 

[hilton1958]

And I must go, time to eat and dress.

 

[geronimo_appleby]

just on my second too. few beers yesterday - six nations.

Good luck with that

It’s morning now with me. Tho I don’t believe a day officially starts until I have a coffee. So I’m in that grey spot, awake but too lazy to get up

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning to some and afternoon to those in Europe. A cold morning here after a delightful week. Please coffee first!

I did the ultimate old person thing yesterday and fell in the bathtub....when preventing my face from planting in the floor (stepping out of tub and my foot caught) i messed myself all upv

 

[Missk_2022]

I just woke up again from a nightmare I was working back in the emergency room after 7 years away from the bedside with no training and they gave me the sick of patients and kept checking my computer away it was awful.

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

Damn. You okay?

 

[Missk_2022]

Damn. You okay?

Yeah, all my muscles hurt my shoulder hurts from grabbing the sink and pushing myself back so that I wouldn't face plant. And my right leg hurts cuz that's what hit the side of the tub. Could have been a lot worse

 

[Missk_2022]

Ouch !

Ouch is right

 

[ReallyRandyReader]

As most accidents happen in the home, I can’t help thinking I’d be safer if I spent the rest of my days living on a luxury cruise ship

Nice thread.
PMs are welcome.

I am so sorry to read about your almost fall. Wishing you heal quickly. It is scary as I am by myself and get frightened by a fall. I am considering an Apple watch that detects falls. But that would not help with a bathtub fall.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I finally got myself a good bath mat and a suction cup handle smh, all I need to check off the I'm old AF list is yelling at kids to get off my lawn , glad my mind doesn't feel as old as the rest of me some days! Hope ya feel better soon!

Adding a bar to hold onto is also a good measure. The matt outside of the tub has a nonslip surface so I feel secure stepping out.

Ohh no! I hope you’re OK?

Ok, I see. Epsom salt’s will help, but as B2 mentioned, going to have to get the ultimate Old persons accoutrement for the tub, a hand rail

Not sexy I know, but it will help prevent something like what happened. You live alone I think you mentioned? If you’d of hit your head, no telling…I don’t want to think about it.

Hope you’re feeling a little better today and not too sore.

Happy Sunday everybody, mine is about to get off to a happy start, just waiting for her to energe fron the bathroon all polished up, lol.
I better get off here now or she'll wonder why I'm so hard already.
PS. I hope that wasn't oversharing for this thread.

Not at all, that is a great way to start any day!

And btw Happy St Patrick’s Day to those that celebrate in any way, shape or form, or are of Irish background

I want to do that in lieu of a nursing home. Cheaper and better service

If you like what you do, and are good at it, why retire?

They actually have retirement communities like that.

Must I come out there and take care of you...baby you for a couple days? Remember...I am QUITE domesticated! You might wanna take advantage of that!!!

It doesnt take much to get hurt, esp when older........
