How come for every year after you're 80, your feet get further from your hands?

Why does hair get thinner on your head, but thicker in your ears and nostrils?

If I wasn't bow legged, I wouldn't be able to do my shoelaces up.

Wondering. Why do elderly people worry about it? Just a natural process.

Sorry, I'm GenX, can’t help you yet. Be with you soon though. And I'm a skilled whinger.

Oh well because you are so young you don’t know, we don’t worry about it, no point, but we are definitely peeved, and more so as each new affliction lands on us.
Plantar Fasciitis is my pain of the month, get up or out of bed and the heel of my L foot is agonising to put weight on.

Ah, right........let me tell you what worked for me. Freeze a small bottle of water (let some out first!). Put this on a towel on the floor and roll your foot over it as long and hard as you can cope with. The massage helps, and the cold helps. This is an injury rather than a product of aging, and you will get better.

Thanks @Mike G it’s slowly improving, I was recommended to use Yoga toes which are the work of the Devil, will try the cold bottle- should increase blood flow I suppose.
Cheers Ian

Yes. Starting to prefer the (higher) dining chairs.
As for kneeling....

Sorry Ian, I didn’t mean in any way to mock the vicissitudes of old age. I trust I will get there in due course. Which according to my medical consultant is unlikely. Some sort of life style thing, apparently.

There is a limerick made up by a mate of Kingsley Amis, based on Shakespeare’s seven ages thing (and this is from memory, and a profanity or two removed to appease the mods, so forgive me any errors):

First you get puking and mewling,
Then very [fed up] with your schooling,
Then [fun] and then fights,
Then judging chaps' rights,
Then sitting in slippers, then drooling.

Now, I’ve mastered the drooling. But I’m not taking them in order…

As my father was fond of saying when teased about such things, “don’t forget I’ve been your age”.

I shall remember those two thank you Gentlemen.
