@torunn saidAnd I thought I knew everything.😉
Saying No certainly helps, it is something we have learn to do.
@torunn saidI know the cigar was more a symbolic gesture of retiring than actually smoking it. Pastries are so hard to resist I cheat more than I should but do much better than I once did. Petty talk was right about have a balance of Physical and mental sharpness, which some have up in their 90's, other younger people I see on here don't have it now. 🙂
When I was much younger and my life was hectic, I used to dream of the day when I would feel old enough to take it easy, eat Danish pastries and smoke an occasional cigar. I figured I would be about 70. So far it hasn't happened - I still am careful with the pastries and have never tried a cigar. 🙂

@pettytalk saidI concur both brain and body on equal balance would be a perfect situation. Neither my brain or body function as they once did, but I still manage to get by. 🙂
Both the brain and the body need to be on equal terms. A balance of health is a must for "grumpier old men" like us. For women too, I suppose. I'm still waiting for that one to come out.
The problem with living in the Valley of the Sun is that there is no ice-fishing around here, just fresh, wet water.

-Removed-You see Gooster what am talking about you always resort to name calling.
FMF was/is smarter than you, and you know I didn't care for his persona that much, but may have had to do with the company he kept, meaning yourself of course. In my opinion he was always the smarter of the two of you. No one will replace him the way I see it presently.

-Removed-Don't be so silly gooster I'd never claim that. I said Handy Andy and I had some good P.M. conversations nothing about being buddies unless you screen shot it which may be border line with the rules, and can show me where I said we were buddies!
You have a habit of twisting the truth to suit yourself old chap.

@pettytalk saidWales has an undulating landscape so the ups and downs must make my walking distance that little further which sounds good to me. I attempt short jogs up the hills with my dog which is kinder on ageing knees.
Is that distance based on, as the crow flies? Does Google earth compensate and adjusts distances for those ups and downs in the walks of life? Or is the ground you walk on completely flat, besides holy?
@drewnogal saidI was reading where the so called experts were claiming that a fast walk for older people is better than jogging because of the reason you mentioned easier on the joints.
