The matter to worry is that there are several diseases that attack a person above the age of 40, as for example, heart ailments, diabetes, erectile dysfunction etc. These diseases sometimes make it unfit for the antidepressants like <A HREF="http://www.xanax-effects.com" REL="nofollow"> xanax </A> to be prescribed to the patients above this age group. Most of the antidepressants have side effects that make them unfit to be prescribed to the patients who are multiple medications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-25369503461615540912008-02-02T21:55:00.000-08:002008-02-02T21:55:00.000-08:00You're kids.I found 40 a horror and liked 50, as 6...You're kids.<BR/><BR/>I found 40 a horror and liked 50, as 60 approaches, I look forward to the discounts.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246929075812590204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-62393921269733351052008-02-01T00:38:00.000-08:002008-02-01T00:38:00.000-08:00Therapy Doc recently posted the opposite, that old...Therapy Doc recently posted the opposite, that older people are happier presumably because they learn how to handle upsets better.mother in israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715046177293916034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-57072210702391228372008-01-31T20:06:00.000-08:002008-01-31T20:06:00.000-08:00Zeruel,Long time no see.

Every year, at Rosh Hashana, I write up a list of what I want to accomplish. Every week, I sit down, write in my journal and at the same time, go through each of my annual goals and ask myself what I am doing about it. <BR/><BR/>I suppose I like the idea of not wasting quite so much time. Of being focused. <BR/><BR/>And to Susanne--some roads you may be too old for, but probably fewer than you think. In many cases, if you want something badly enough, you will find a way to do it. <BR/><BR/>Okay--now I have to read the penis stories....<BR/><BR/>GilaGilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246089571573457394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-55082863196708542642008-01-30T18:05:00.000-08:002008-01-30T18:05:00.000-08:00I hit 40 this year.

And while things are going very well in my life, I certainly have been thinking about what I want for the future, and where I've been in the past.<BR/><BR/>Physically, I feel good. I too come from a family where people, especially the women, live to quite ripe old ages. I had a great aunt who lived to be 102. She was in her own home until the end, still doing her own shopping and cooking. My grandmother is 93 and still sharp mentally and physically. <BR/><BR/>I do notice I get tired now when I used to just be able to go go go. Most nights I'm ready to be asleep by 10:00.<BR/><BR/>I used to be able to go out every night when I first moved to New York, stay out until 3:00 and get to work just fine, if hungover.<BR/><BR/>No way I could do that now.<BR/><BR/>I think the thing that gets depressing to me is thinking about the old roads not taken and realizing that it really is too late to start down some of them if I wanted to.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-28409323774477157912008-01-30T16:26:00.000-08:002008-01-30T16:26:00.000-08:00You're not alone Jack.

However, I didn't have that much of a childhood between largely being raised by my grandparents and myself, and myself only having theoretical examples told to me by adults and in encyclopedias.<BR/><BR/>If one can have a mental age, I'm way way way past one hundred. Body is still under forty though. It hurts when getting up too, especially when I'd rather get back to whatever dream I'd had because any dream is better than none. I've done years without dreaming. It's not healthy.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, this old man in a not as old body feels your angst and raises a beer to you. Thanks for the side-splitting imagery in the daughter-talks-about-missing-penis stories. I got a coworker who calls his kids when he works late to tell them stories and they make some absurd and bizarre requests. Maybe some day my wife and I will be blessed.-suitepotato-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04567987879881511630noreply@blogger.com
