My Disneyland AP expired this past Tuesday. I'm already sad. It didn't help that before it expired I got an email with a countdown clock, counting down the days/hours/minutes/seconds until my pass expired.

They know how to pixie dust folks ‘til they’re fork-tender, and then they stick it in ya’ and twist...!!! ;)

Those types of thoughts are not even in the mind of a 71 year old. I play golf almost every Saturday with both my sons in law. On the third hole is a small plaque on the ground with the name of a guy that, as he was taking his swing, collapsed and died. That's how life is. He didn't drive to the golf course that morning thinking... 'for something different today I think I'll drop dead right after I finish the second hole'. He was about my age, but even though my mortality is in my thought processes a lot more then it used to be, it just all seems a lot more like that is what happens to other people, than that could be me.

Believe me, I don't know why I am still here, I certainly never did anything in my life with the thought of extending it and in many small ways it is all starting to catch up to me now. I am still puzzled why people who took care of themselves and were doing everything they possibly could to prolong their lives are now gone and I remain to make everyone around me miserable.

Yep, bottom line, any one of us can be cut off like a light switch at any time...heart attack, stroke, car wreck...DRT (Dead Right There;)).
But, I don’t intend on spendin’ the rest of whatever time I may have left worryin’ about when that time will come.
I’m still surprised I survived my late teens to early 20’s...man, we were some crazy *******...!!!!! 🤪:hilarious:
I believe a lot of it is in our minds. As I’ve posted before, my parents are 80 and 87 and they still make the Energizer Bunny look lame...!!!!!!! :joyfull::inlove::happy:
They may go before me, I may go before them...it’s all a carp shoot...!!!:D;):)

Thank you.
Yep, I’m only 57, and not even remotely close to ready to want to cash it all in yet...!!! ;)

My dad got lucky when he was your age. He is in his 60s now and his heart specialist is happy with him.

He flunked a stress test just a month and a couple weeks after leaving Disney back when he was 57. My dad wanted to do a weight loss program for losing weight, but the doctor wanted a stress test done first.

It was found out my dad needed triple bypass and was a matter of time before getting a heart attack. If he didn't get the stress test, he'll be dead from shoveling snow or heavy lifting.

I think the only reason my dad didn't get a heart attack at WDW was because was Soarin' was the closest thrill ride he and my mom did.

My third at the craft beer bar by my new store. It’s called “low hanging fruit” and is a 5% sour strawberry.

My first was an Italian stout made with - wait for it - cannoli & chocolate. 🤤

There was a second in there somewhere.

B is here, we came over with a great customer and split a flatbread.

Waiting for the sign guy to get the electric work done. Tomorrow I’m chilling a bit!
