I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
You slow down when you get older.
I found that this Parkinson's does slow you down, whether you want to slow down or not.
I never understood the idea that you're supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn't something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.
Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.
Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another.
But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older.
My father was slower, but he was severer than my mother, who was quick but light and irregular in discipline.
I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.
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.
