Yep. Only someone with serious issues and in need of help would do that. Really.

I didn't tag that, but it's pretty funny.

im sorry did i mention anything about Arlington cemetary or people being killed ... i believed that this thread was to honor those that have overcome lifetime strife and still hang on to the horns of the bull at years beyond that which they should have retired at like most elderly people do. And if no one cares why even post on bullshido.

He's no muscle man, but to even be alive at 92 is a feat in itself! Let alone dancing..

My grandfather on my mom's side was not quite the shape at that age, but at 95 he's still able to walk. He retired from dentistry at 86 thereafter donating his tools to a museum. I would've thought the patients would've noticed the lack of...anything computerized and switched, but they kept coming back. I had only been to him until he retired, and found it hilarious the difference between his office and the new guy I see.

Every summer he tends to his fairly sizeable garden and makes sure to start his day by taking a swim in his pool. He would still jump in had my family not insisted otherwise, but I think somewhere around 90 he should learn he's not a kid anymore.

I love hearing stories like this because it defys the stereotypes of the elderly all being feeble, and sets an example for where I hope to be at that age.

hell my great grand dad died at 103 and he was still walking to the store (about a block) and back for his daily habit of yoohoo and Italian sub sandwich for lunch. he said the way to living a long life is not to care about today but do what you want to stay young in heart. He was a cranky old coot, i think he stayed around so long just to piss off the family as one of his hobbies. Thats my goal.
