Hello fellow olds. How are your pain levels today?

Midlife crisis of getting my eyebrow pierced outweighed by the swelling of my ear lobes after repiercing them myself after twenty something years of letting them lie fallow

Knees seem like a youngster's in comparison

Do you ever feel like you've missed the boat to a meaningful life?

i'm 36 and often wonder how i got this old. When i look back i realise i haven't really achieved anything. There isn't really anything i've wanted to achieve either. All these years have been wasted and i haven't even enjoyed wasting time. When i look back i can't recall a single thing i'm proud of. my existence has been completely insignificant.

Holy heavens at 68, what next an over the hill section?

We are ALL the same and yes, I have been zinged and given tons of crap by juveniles, however, a few do not speak for the majority of younger folks.

We ALL can and should learn from each other and yes, older folks do have life experience which sometimes can come into play, but also a younger person might have a new way and/or idea that is refreshing and innovative.

Let's work together and help each other is my main theme.

Hi! Fellow 40 plus-er here

Somethings I can remember are the TV going off air at night and the paper TV guides that came with the newspaper every week.

Also having a number to call to get the time, the weather or even movie show times. And pressing *69 to get the last number that called you. God I miss those days.

I fit this perfectly. I'm 37. But I've been suicidal since the age of 12…

Same 37, suicidal since 17

I feel you. My therapist always brings up my "accomplishments" in life like going to college, having a job and living on my own but I don't consider any of those things accomplishments. They were actions necessary to survive and escape an abusive household. I get really uncomfortable when people ask what my life goals are because I don't have any. It's all just survival.
