re: How to cope with getting old

Back to the OP's thread: as a young 71, the one thing that works for me in staying young is to not turn into a couch potato, hitting the sofa at earlier & earlier times of the day. Stay active. While I admit sweat pants & t shirts are comfortable, try & continue to dress somewhat decent looking for your age when out of the house. When in social settings, do not spend hrs talking about who is sick/dying/dead or your current medical condition. Do not wear an old hat while driving, as that persona is known to be the world's worst drivers, i.e.an old fart. And as my dad used to say; " the key for any man looking good is to have the room's most beautiful woman on his arm. "
