Two Months Until I’m Fifty - What Now?

In two months time I will be fifty, and friends who have already reached that landmark tell me that once you reach the other side, bits start dropping off.

So, what do I need to cram into the final two months of my first half-century that I won’t be able to do afterwards? Suggestions smutty and otherwise are most welcome. 🤭X

Invest in some string, sellotape and glue so at least if the bits do start dropping off, you can reattach them and nobody will be any the wiser.

I’m told duct tape is more effective, if a bit industrial. And what sort of glue? 🤔X

Duct tape might be handy if you're also fancying a little light bondage play, followed by waxing your wrists. Not recommended.

Pritt Stick doesn't even hold bits of paper up on display walls, so that's out. Maybe Copydex? The meet-in-the-middle glue.

Yes, and Copydex reaches the parts PVA can’t, if you catch my sniffed. 🤭🤣X

Duct tape on the nips is ideal for marathon running. It’s true! After 26 miles, it lifts off effortlessly with not a nip-chafe in sight! File that in the ‘Useless Information’ folder. 🤣X

Get new friends. 😋 The idea that 50 is a considerable milestone is ridiculous, don't buy in to it. Exercise (mind & body), eat healthy, lots of water & moisturize. 50 is the new 40.

So what is 60? That's where I am headed in a year.

But, yeah, I can't say passing 50 changed much. I haven't had anything "drop off", though I have needed some minor repairs (hernia, cataracts).😊 Life just ticks along. Certainly other things in my life like my son hitting adulthood and my expanding role at work have had more impact than just turning 50 did.

That’s reassuring to know! Thank you! X

I choose a new age to be every year. 🤣This year I’ve chosen 45 It’s what most people guess me as anyway

But seriously 50 was no big deal, neither was 60. I just hit 61 yesterday according to the calendar. Age is just a number. I work out with a trainer at the gym 3-4 times a week. I play pickleball 2-3 times a week and I ride my bike on the Pinellas Trail on the weekends. And I swim whenever I get the chance. I refuse to let the calendar tell me I’m old. 🥰😎

I took it metaphorically to mean that bits of her life will drop off. Which does happen, although there are no absolute milestones. That Billy Crystal bit from 1991, "It's All Downhill From Here," is kind of sad although at 68 I accept the truth of it.

I would suggest you don't need a specific list of things to cram in, just make sure you live each day to the full🙂

Thank you all - that’s reassuring to know! By bits falling off, I just meant the odd ache, more injuries at the gym, etc. There’s no reason why any of this should happen, but because my work is dependent on me being fit and active, I guess I worry a little. Thank you all for your comments. X

"Age" is way more of a mindset than a number. (To some extent I am a testament to that idea.) ... I've met lots of folks who do not look or "act" their age, and do it very well. ... Eat well, keep moving... keep an open mind... you'll do just fine. 😘

Thank you, bud58. And thank you for reading my story. 😘X
