Losing hair .... Not going to pay into an industry that feeds off someone’s insecurities... it quit... so I fired it!

Losing libido No problem there

Getting fat .... Joined a gym... problem being solved

Getting wrinkled .... eye cream at night

Getting creaky .... Glucosamine and calcium supplements in the morning

Losing guitar skills .... getting a lot better at slide for when the fingers go

Fearing disease .... Don't have time to get sick

Finally fearing death no fear... faced it before... over that ... when it's your time...

Having to floss more ... floss daily

Bowel/Urinary incontinence ... I'm changing diapers now so my daughter can repay the favor later in life

Other.... Now this is the big one.... HAIR GROWING WERE IT SHOULDN'T... Ear and nose hair mostly..... seems the more I loose on top the more they pop out of my nose and ears..... HA! that's were it went.... THAT BOTHERS ME!!!!

Loosing hair is no big deal. I just wear it shorter and it is a lot eaiser to take care of. BUT WHAT I REALLY HATE IS THAT I DON"T LOOK THAT GOOD IN SPANDEX ANYMORE.

My daughters tell me I'm getting crazier by the year, doesn't bothers me ! ;)

If you guys are telling me that you can still "get it on" like you could when you were in your late teens or early 20s.....you are lying your asses off. ROTFLMAO!!!!

Screw hair...and screw the joint creaking...I want to be able to screw like a friggin teenager again. Of course, if you saw my wife, you would know *why* I want that again. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Having seen both of you, I can understand why she wouldn't want that again.

Like El Guapo says "When you want ze woman...you take ze woman" ;);)

"I have never felt better in my life." -- get back to us in 10 years.

I don't know why you put the urinary thing in. It's nice to know we can still cop a warm glow in the "golden" years (and it lasts all day long).

I'm in my forties and my hair is just starting to get a little bit thinner on top with a small bald spot in back

Damn it !

no grey, no wrinkles, no weight problem

and my gums are starting to bleed some, I was just thinking I should floss more

knees are stiffer than I would like ...

The kickboxing I do is really great for staying in shape but it takes a lot out of me ...

Sometimes after class I have to go home and take a nap! ;)

I haven't lost my hair, it has just migrated to my shoulders and back ;)

I suppose the thinning doesn't trouble in the least, but grey certainly does.

I fear losing my ability to think and to remember, and I fear losing mobility.

i'll be 40 in december. my weight is the same; i've been 5-10 lbs overweight since i was old enough to buy beer! i'm actually thinner than i was when i graduated college in '91. i have all my hair, but some grey is creeping in. not many lines or wrnkles, most people are surprised when i tell 'em how old i really am. still horny as hell.

my job takes a lot out of me, esp in the summer w/ all the bugs and heat. so i feel tired a lot.

anyone else having ass problems? seems i've developed some hemorrhoids in the last few years. they don't hurt or itch, its just nasty seeing blood when i take a dump.

am i sharing too much? haha

I was just complaining about this weather and my joints. libido? hell that began to fade once I started acting aggresive on blood pressure medicines etc. nothing a little blue pill can't handle... ;)

Other:

Becoming invisible to women under 30.

Not that it matters to those of us who are happily married, but still, the apathy is a blow to the ego.

That and finding that there are 40, 50 and oh my, 60 something ladies that float my boat!

The 30 and under are starting to disappear from my radar too... so turnabout IS fair play. lol

I will be 50 in a few months. No matter how hard you deny to yourself you are getting old, there are a few tell tale signs that have popped up in my life to remind me that I am not young anymore.

1- I watch the weather channel for fun.

2- I break into a sweat when I play checkers.

3- When an ex-classmate from highschool dies, they list it as natural causes.

4- When the only drugs that spike your interest are Rogane or Viagra.

5- When that hot chick that you think has been watching you finally approaches you, she informs you that she went to school with your daughter.

6- When half of the shows on the History channel have occurred in your lifetime.

7- When AARP sends you the letter telling you that you are soon to be eligble to join, you fill it out and send it in.

8- That when I am making out this list, I curse myself for not wearing my bifocals.

That's just a few things that have happen in my life to remind me of the inevitable fact of getting older. Still, the fact of the matter is, that there is no way in hell that I wish I was 25 again. It's been a great ride and I still look forward to tomorrow.

Hair is going, weight is going up but so what. Just when I got back into guitar at 51, I'm now 54 and start having fun I get arthritis in the fingers so bad I use 4-5 Advils a day for that plus my knees, back, etc.

The only thing better is the money and the sex. I can last forever now unlike the teenage years! And I have money to buy lots of guitars. I told Fung when it gets to where I can't play anymore all 15 guitars are going up for sale. Could be soon at the rate I'm going.

God yes orifice hair sucks. The libido slowing aint a huge deal( no need for pills or anything ) but what once was a 44 magnum going off is now something akin to a runny nose sometimes.

JohnnyT:

I am with you on all of that stuff. I'm taking 4-5 Aleves a day every day (something that the label says you shouldn't do more than 10 days), but the doc said that that's mostly to avoid stomach irritation. The arthritis is bad, but the more I play, the less it hurts (although my left hand is usually "frozen" in the mornings).

When the cursed arthritis takes over, I'll sell most of my stuff and get another GTO. At least that's the plan...With the price of gas, maybe not!

Gary (Johnny Thunders) and I are the same age. For the last 30 years or so I've had a race between gray and nothin' going on on top of my head. I'm still rooting for gray and it's still pretty much a dead heat.

Like a lot of guys, my hands/back/arms/everything hurt most of the time and it has affected my playing. My only resort so far has been some exercises my chiro showed me, and 4 Advil at bedtime so I can sleep. If I start playing, I need about a half-hour to warm up, and even then....eeeh.. ;)

I've been pathologically skinny most of my life, but now that I've quit smoking, the inevitable qweight gain has me looking more and more like a Life Saver on a toothpick :P

I never could see, and decades of rock 'n' roll have fixed it so I can't hear either. Like Badger Dave says, I'm invisible to women under 30, but Most Esteemed Redhead says I'm still doin' fine where it counts. :P

OTOH, I was supposed to be dead a couple or three decades ago, I'm damn glad to be alive, I don't have anything that's gonna kill me in the next week or so, and I'll keep playing until Most Esteemed Redhead says I'm embarassing her. Oh wait, that happens all the time.... ;)

Fearing death? Naaah, it's all gravy now, and even when I do kick over, it just means I'll finally get a good night's sleep. ;)

Oh, baby, well said.

Things sure feel a lot different in the 50s than in the 40s.
