I'm approaching 70. Unfortunately, from the wrong direction.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm one year away from 70 and I've had a good run. I really believe I'm okay.
Right now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.
I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.
I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.
Sadly, I can't avoid being 75. Like many people of my age, we are all heading towards the grim reaper, and I am clinging on. I just to have to sharpen my fingernails a little so that I can hang on for longer!
I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change.
You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'Somebody died when they were 73; good life'. You're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. No point in saying things you don't believe in.
And now, I feel at 85, I really feel that I'm just ready to start.
I'm an old man of 73, and I've been around a long time. If I don't know something by now, I probably never will.
Looking at 70 from 49, I don't see it slowing me down. Maybe I'll need a nap during the day! I'm thinking when I'm 85 I'll settle down a bit. But I'm going to fight, kicking and screaming, every step of the way.
