I am sure we all know someone like thatAgree!!! right now i am very DYI installed 2 starlink systems it was easy peasy. but one day when we get old and ripe we will need someone to do things for us
Not me, 62 in October83, 83, and Bobby, the nation's original Publican, still plying his trade. I'd start an over 70 group here - but then, that would be most of us, wouldn't it?
I second the app making it sweet easy.
Lotta commas, …
That's good! Don't be in a hurry. Old age ain't that golden…
Trust me, I'm getting my first tastes
I didn't really start feeling old until our twin daughters started getting mail from AARP!
Yeah, my son will be 50 in November. He will be getting those mailers soon.
And they know when one turns 50
. once he hit's 70 he will be getting nursing home booklets by the truckloads 
. whoever said old age was golden is full of sh*tRight now I'm inundated with Viking cruise mailers. Virtually no other junk mail. AARP finally threw in the towel a few years ago.
Yep, LifeAlert doesn't offer fall detection, so I went with a different one from 321 Alert. I "tested" the fall detection a couple of weeks ago, and had them call one of my neighbors to help me up after I fell in the yard.
Well, what makes me feel old isn't the 60-year-old back I got from working hard jobs all my life, Ironworker, Steeplejack, Truck driver, etc., or the torn rotator cuff that never healed correctly or the arthritis in my neck or the weak legs I have that make it harder and harder to climb stairs and ladders, or the 20 lbs I can't seem to lose. It's the effects of Covid twice and the permanent lung damage I got from it, or the RSV last year that seems to have triggered my heart into racing every time I exert myself (Heart moniter coming soon), it's the other effects of long Covid, like getting winded easily, but particularly, the noticeable memory loss that I should NOT be having at my age. Occasionally forgetting a name is one thing, but forgetting the street I lived on in Peoria 10 years ago, band names that I've listened to for years, etc., or something almost daily that's hitting me hard now.
So you're NOT signing up for the charity half marathon? 
Yep, that's what I've been thinking for the past 20 years. I don't even remember living in Peoria.......oh wait. And, I just had short covid.
Never mind bands I've listened to, sometimes I can't even call the name of someone I've known all my life or worked with for over 30 years. When you start calling your sibling by your children's name or vice versa, or missing the year you did something by a decade or more, or confusing decades of a car you owned, etc., then you'll really start to realize your age. I've lived in 9 different decades, and it's getting harder to keep them separated.
It gets worse youngster, just stand by.
I've had similar memory problems, worsening after my strokes. I've also called my daughter by my pet name for my late wife several times when she's doing things my wife used to do. I don't even realize I've done it until I see the tears in her eyes.
But did they start @60?? This seems too young, too sudden and my memory has always been razor sharp and highly detailed
You're talking about 23 years ago in my case, and I'm afraid my memories of that time are pretty much gone.

You have posted previously, that you were a smoker most of your life, obviously that had caused some of your current health issues.
You are fortunate to have daughters. They can be emotional at times, but they'll be there for you. I know, that is a generalization, but I've seen it to be mostly true.
A daughter is a daughter all of her life, but a son is a son til he takes a wife.
