Am I Old?

OK, this should burn some of my remaining posts until the magic 500 :lol:

I'll be turning 47 in June. Am I old? If I am old, how come I can still run 10 miles without breathing hard? If I'm not old, how will I know when I am? If you would have told me 20 years ago that

in my later 40s, I'd still be running, I don't know if I'd have believed it...yet here I am.

How do I know when to stop running? If/'when it hurts so bad I can no longer do it? Does it hurt

someone in their 40s..50s or beyond to run?

What do I do when I can no longer run and get that uplifting zap of endorphins?

Uh, yeah, you're old ... so am I.

My dad is 70 and had to quit playing racquetball because of his arthritis. He still is a weightlifter and passes for more than 10 years younger than he is.

You will know when you need to stop running.

I can't comment on the running issue. But, most older people that I know talk about their bathroom issues, and you have exhausted that issue!

Yeah, ya look buff and earned some bragging rights. After running, I guess you can take up knitting, I understand that's a rush.

Yeah, but how will I KNOW...is it when the AARP magazine starts coming?

Is it when I can no longer be bothered to run?

No, it's when your legs can't take it anymore...

You're only old if lose the spirit of having fun.

As for the running, I have no idea about that. :blink: Didn't know you could be too old to exercise and run. If it were me, I'd take everything at the pace that is comfortable. The body's a complex things. Go with instincts. And obviously don't do anything dangerous.

You are definitely not old, because you are younger than me, and I am not old, so therefore, how could you be old? :lol:

Okay, Jerry...Have these things started happening to you?:

You're sitting on a park bench, and a Boy Scout comes up and helps you cross your legs.

In a hostage situation, you are released first.

You're constantly talking about the price of gasoline.

You've worn black socks with sandals.

If not, you're not old yet. But I think my husband is. :)

Heck if running hurts makes u old, then i was old in jr high. I have an track injury, i pulled the liagments out of my thigh muscles and it hurts like heck from time to time. But of course i still run when i feel good lol.

No sir.

How about this:

I hate rap music...I don't get it.

Body piercings? Whatever for? Why would a pretty girl want to make holes in her face? No need to bother talking about tongue or other piercings..or body modifications....

What's the point of wearing your jeans tightly belted below your buttocks, so you can barely walk? Am I supposed to be impressed that you can afford boxers and pull them up above your navel?

If you are going to wear a baseball cap, why wear it off to the side tilted funny?

If you come to work dressed like a hooker or a gangster, what type of impression are you trying to make on those with the power to promote you?

Yes your music is too loud! Not only does it hurt my ears, I wonder how much damage you are

doing to yours.

Text messaging? Why not just call the person?

No, I don't think jeans on girls look better--so tight that they have "muffin top" and you can see

their butt crack when they bend over.

Crap. That means I'm old too.

I'm still waiting for perms to come back. In fact, I'm getting to the point where I'm so old I kinda don't care if they come back. I'm just sick of this flat hair thing.

You are SO busted! You even made a post here about gas prices!!

Socks with sandals is only okay if you're a granola and are wearing Birkenstocks ... we used to live in a college town and Birkies with socks was okay. No other sandals were okay with socks.

hm, i say, these things don't make you old, just mature. i agree w/ you on most of this, but I say it's just the new generation trends. i don't think you're old until you feel old! you're younger than my parents, and i don't think they're old. my mom just got a boob job, found herself, and got in shape. and i think she looks younger than ever :) just take care of yourself, and keep running as long as you can ;) that's one thing i need to start doing....

See, Jerry, you're old ... when married people say that you're younger than their parents, you're old! :lol::lol::lol:

Sweetfudge, you're right though, I couldn't resist! I am only a few years younger than Jerry, but I feel that I'm "less old" than I was a few years ago, if that makes sense. It's all in the attitude.

As a pretty girl with a hole in her face, I have to say the draw for me to get it was to shock people(that was five years ago) , but the draw to keep it is really that I like to see a sparkly thingy in my nose and it makes me look cute!

Well I don't want to interrupt them, texting is for less important than calling but more important than e-mail.

Get it now you old fogey?

P.S. As far as "physical age"... your younger than me. I don't run, I never did run, I risked failing gym class over the "mile run" that I walked briskly doing. My whole philosphy on running is - Sure skinny people can run, they don't have to move as much as me! If they had to lug around my ass and my boobs, they wouldn't be running either!

Jerry, Jerry....much like the situation when it became common knowledge that Vincent sports a mullet, I am calling for an immediate intervention. NEVER should socks (any colour) be paired with sandals (any kind). Even old men cannot get away with this! Maybe that's why terrorists historically let the old guys out of hijacked planes first--they are in socks and sandals, and are pitied. :rolleyes:

OMG....

This is news. How could I have missed such vital information?! You see, not only can I not make the time to post as much as others, I cannot find the time to simply check in and see what's new. Vincent, great stuff! (I hope Vincent does not wear socks with sandals)...

Adding on to my age...

I want to know when exactly "Rocker Hair" turned into a "mullet"

All the cool guys in high school had rocker hair.

Vincent's went beyond rocker hair though. Looks nice short.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
