Would you like to look this cheerful when you're 97?

That's a moment of laughter, something that breaks out easily in old age -
the best way to cope with the endless medical processes, pain, the time it takes to do anything and the slow losses of everything. For those who live long enough, the end is welcomed.

Before going out, I have to make sure my teeth are in my mouth, hearing aides in place properly (they never stop tickling), glasses on nose, watch on wrist, phone charged, waistpack filled with wallet, diary, phone, keys, pantyliners, lipbalm, gel eyedrops... It's absurd and funny.

@rinkydinkydoink Thank you! 🙂
@hartfire

Maybe you've seen Cyril Delevanti before. That photo of the actor was from a Twilight Zone episode about a mysterious player piano.

@rinkydinkydoink Not sure that I have.
I rarely remember what I see on screens - think it started when I was about 10 and Dad said, "never forget that what you see in films isn't real." I decided I only wanted to remember what is real.
Later that evolved into what I experienced, ideas and principles, how things work or whatever has strong proof.

But he does look like an interesting character, and if I ever notice re-runs of the Twilight Zone available, I'll check it out.
Thank you 🙂

One of my clients is 91 & she's that way
@Tumbleweed

She's naturally in good spirits you mean?

Tumbleweed · F
@rinkydinkydoink Yes. She very seldom gets down in the dumps

Sure, to still be on the right side of dirt and that cheerful about it at 97 would be wonderful!
I'd have liked to look that cheerful 30 years ago.
@SomeMichGuy

For you? You're saying you're currently 59? If so, I could be your papa.
@rinkydinkydoink Lol
NO

I'm saying at 38 yrs of age, you are a ling way from 97... 😉

Only if i also have all of my marbles.
@samueltyler2

Let's start at the beginning... what does losing one's marbles mean?

@rinkydinkydoink forget it, you aren't really serious and there is no point in continuing this.

I would like to look like a pile of ashes well before 97 😅

@faery I know a few. I agree though, if I needed lots of assistance and had a poor quality of life, I would probably not want to live. I am already 83 and live a darn good life.

@samueltyler2 You're fortunate and I'm happy for you. :)

@faery thanks. My genes did not predict this life. I am very fortunate, but I also worked very hard for it.
