I knew people who had this version, and played with them as a child, when we visited. No I'm not that old, it's just people tended to take better care of things back then, also a lot of things for children then were better made sturdier than today's versions. Of course who knows how toxic the parts and pieces, painting and packaging were back then.

One of the many later versions

That was my favorite game as a small child!!!

I have dated older since college, when I came out, I find it a lovely dynamic 💃💁🏼‍♀️

Hey lofters!

Soon to be 42!

I had the cootie game as a kid as well as old gi joes.

We're the same age! I turned 42 in March!

I'm feeling so old today I don't think I should be in the loft, try attic.

Howdy
 

Yep, I am old but not yet retired.
Folks seem suprised when they learn my age. I guess that I still have a baby face. Ha!

I am thinking about a thread that will help our aging community check in on each other.
I worry about our aging folks including myself. Let's chat about that, I would like to hear what other folks think about our aging community and how we can help each other.

That sounds like a fine idea. Particularly for those who live far from family and/or live alone. I consider myself still pretty young but I'd have to check both those box. I'm half kidding here ... but... I'd hate to keel over and become supper for my cats! Iol Oh yes, I love em, cats are great, but cats are also rude lil fuckers! :p :blink:

I'm still in the younger age range of this thread, but something for aging members of the community sounds like a good idea. Check in and all.

I am also feeling old today. I walked around a LOT yesterday and today and all I feel is old, sore, and tired.

Feeling weird that in September, I will not technically be eligible to post on this thread.
<<< will be exiting out the back...oy vey!

the thread is for 40's, 50's, and over...stick around till you really are "over".

:)

6/1 ...
 

Gracefully retired on 6/1/19 at the age of 61.

Ks-:cheer: :happyjump:

I feel no shame saying... jealous!!! :deepthoughts:

Congrats! :p

Doc says hip is sore only from too much lazy ass sitting around, not bone disease or something.

At 42... my poor body is going to hell !

I have no clue how bad it will be when I get older!

Anyways, there is fresh goodies and drinks in the corner for everyone!

Who's still here these days? About to be 58 ouch that hurt lol. Actually everything since 54 has hurt. I'm hoping the 60's will be better

I'm still here and almost 20 years older than you, 75 in August.

If you are complaining now you have no idea what awaits you.

A few years ago, I was in an art gallery, the gallery was up one flight so I started up the stairs. There was an elevator at the bottom of the stairs and an older couple waiting for it.
I called to them and said "come on, it's only one flight" and they turned to me and said "How old are you?". I said 72. They said "We are 75 and you don't know anything yet".

And so it is my young friend....lol

BTW, stereotyping older women, and me in particular, would lead me to consider you an idiot...some of us just have great genes.

I'm 58 as well, for another month anyway. A few months ago I did something painful to a knee without actually knowing what. My Dr said because of my age it must be arthritis! I refused that diagnosis and started regular physical therapy, hmmm not so much help. I am now starting with a well regarded "Holistic" physical therapist and yoga outfit to do a head to toe re-set. I'll let you how that goes in a couple thousand dollars... :blink:

My own theory is that unless you are genetically blessed with good bones, and genetic everything else ( including teeth ) , you're doing a nice very expensive job of pushing against the wind.
