The Over 40 Thread

well ...

bacause of some growing paranoia - i saw the Dr today for that dreaded checkup most men want to avoid. (otherwise - this would be in the gay thread)

so for the 1st time since i was a baby (and wasnt strong enough to fight of the suppositories) the exit briefly became an entrance.

i find more and more that there is no place for dignity with older age.
every day brings a new humiliation.

ah well.
I lived through it - it was briefer than i thought and it turns out i had no cause for alarm - for for the 1st time in a long while i slept like a baby.

i'm pretty sure Newb mentioned having 'THE CHECKUP' at one time ... most guys should start getting checked on a regular basis after 40.


i guess girls have other things they have to get checked...



for any young folk who ventured in here - i have a HUGE piece of advice to give that will likely be ignored ..


i've come to a complete realization as of late that everything you do in life to your mind and body will be carried forward into your later years.

if you take care of yourself now (even though you no doubt feel invincible as i did when i was young) it will pay off in the future.

i'm not saying live in a box - i'm saying just be sensible.

especially weight... man if you think you are overweight as a young person - lose it NOW. dont bring this into your future because your quality of life will be crap. I'm not speaking for myself now - i'm overweight but not severely - but i see people my age or older struggling with it and it's a bullshit way to spend the second half of your life - unable to do anything worth a damn.


so if this sounds like a mid-life crisis thread - i guess it is.

only i'm not getting an earing, a convertable and a 21 year old girlfriend (unless someone's offereing :p)
my crisis is health related. I want to be there for my family - especially my son. I want to be there to see him with a family of his own.
I didnt have him until i was 40 - i feel terrible about that. but i think if i can stay healthy - maybe we'll be able to play on the same volleyball or baseball team someday ...


ps. if i'm gonna risk my marriage - the 21 year old better bring a really hot girlfriend along
and they both have to be bisexual
and gymnists
and really be into older overweight balding unnattractive guys.



so - on review - my marriage is bullet proof :D

glad to hear the old poop-shoot is clean as a whistle:D

And I double that wieght comment. Nothing, not even smoking, puts as much strain on your heart as carrying around too much weight. Everything in moderation (including moderation) - will get you far into old age...

unless you get hit by a bus, or lightning, or trip going up the stairs (I'm looking at you, Vod) of fall victim to anyu kind of calamity.

Come to think of it. Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrw we die!

Yeah, I've largely fixed the dietary stage of things at this point in my life (27, heh), active excersize is something I need lots more of to shed the ol' pounds.
Not over 40 though, but figured I'd throw in and say "advice taken, work in progress".

Hey, didja crack a fat when they did the "test" urg?

HAHA NO !!!

but dont think I wasnt worried about it !!


overall the worry changed more to - what if she finds something...

the 20 minute wait in the office before hand was like a torture ... my mind loves to play with scenarios .. and although most of them are extremely pleasant - they can be pretty fucking dark at times.

Sound advice for anyone 10-15 years younger who is reading this.

I hope I shed off all my extra baggage (weight, hassles, problems) before I hit 40. Not because I wish to live longer, but because I would have enough of a riskfree life to see my children grow up to have a successful life for themselves. At least when I die, I ll close my eyes with contentment and happiness, without a frown.
