    I shall be 91 in November, and I take care of myself. I shower, on my own; prepare meals, on my own, etc. I do my own laundry, once a week, which includes changing my bed linen. I keep track of my medications, and take them, as ordered. I am a vegetarian, as well. God bless all those who stay independent, as well as those who require some help, each day.

    I'm going to be 79 years old on August 6, and I still do everything I did when I was raising my 3 kids. I'm still doing cooking for 3 people, for me, my husband, and my great grandchild, who was left in my care when he was 3years old. I vacuum, mopped, laundry, dust furniture, buy groceries, pay bills, take my grand child to school, pick him up after. Exercise when I have time. Sweep the car port when it needs sweeping. Help my husband sweep the sidewalk when he cuts the lawn. Iron everybody's clothes that needs a little ironing. Drive to the dentist and doctor, by myself. Go to the mall by myself. Told my grandson, he has to start driving school, he's now 16. He starts tomorrow in driving school. I need a break in talking him to school within this two years coming. I took a driving refresher class 3 months, so I can stay up to date in my driving. I'm a busy person. I realize I'm getting old. Maybe I'll be able to rest after 2 years from now.

      @@suzyvegalicious5646 It is your right to live by your ethics, just as it is my right to live by mine. My goats are hardly exploited. In return for the milk I take from them they are well fed, protected from predators, have a warm barn to sleep in with deep straw, fans to cool them in the summer and 10 acres to graze and play on. The kids stay with their mothers until she is ready to wean them, or it becomes necessary to wean them because it is too hard physically on the mother.
      Once the kids begin eating grain and hay, I put them in a stall right next to their mothers overnight, so I can have part of her milk in the morning. I raise and hunt animals to help put food on our table, just as people have done for thousands of years. Animals in the wild don't live in peace and free from harm. Predators live by killing herbivores. Herbivores may fight among themselves and fatally injure each other, especially males. All animals that live in groups have a hierarchy. Those with the most status get first choice of food and best nesting/sleeping/ watering places. Lower status animals are chased away, have to eat whatever is left over, and often are not protected by the group. Don't tell me about the peace and safety of living in the wild without people "exploiting" them. I've seen how animals live in the wild. And since scientists have found that all growing things are connected by living webs of microbes and communicate, why aren't you concerned about vegetables being ripped out of the ground, or parts of them ripped off for you to eat. Did you object to trees being ripped out of the ground and the living soil scraped away so your house could be built. Aren't these things exploitation?

    I am 71. I love to be creative, like weaving, sewing clothing, drawing in coloured pencil and making soap. I eat organic and healthy foods and I read and study to better myself continually, sometimes I have sessions with my life coach. I practice yoga and walk my dogs and on Wednesdays I volunteer in our local giftshop. My life is busy, taking care of my spouse, my live-in grandson and our two dogs and three cats. I feel incredible blessed to have a life with so much variety and love.

I play solitaire frequently and I watch documentarys on TV and keep up with what is going in the the world. However, I no longer drive. It is not my driving I worry about its the mad drivers who are always in a rush to get no where.

    I am 73 and still working around our rural homestead riding horses and taking care of my wife who has gone blind and became wheelchair bound over 6 years ago, I have military disability and experience pain in walking yet I have learned to never give in and keep going. I am a Vietnam vet and I hate war but going thru that time forced me to push myself beyond what hurts either physically or mentally or spiritually so I give thanks daily for another day to try and live better than the day before and press on. My father always said pain was God's way of showing there is life and life is a struggle in a fallen world, and when there is no more pain there is death , so work thru it and be thankful, gracious, and merciful in everything that you may encounter while you are here.

    At 86 did a brake job on my wife's Ford Escape today, still drive a '31 Ford street rod that I built from the ground up after retiring at 67 due to my employer downsizing, and are currently looking to buy another RV to tow with my pickup so we can resume traveling the US again. My wife has some back and hip problems from an accident so we moved from a 4000 square foot 3 level house to a 1300 sq ft duplex with minimal stairs. We both read 2-3 books a week, participate in as many activities as possible. We are financially doing pretty well and our 3 kids are nowhere in sight due to their jobs/lives but are doing well too. Obviously we are in pretty decent shape other then my wife's back and hip. Our relatives generally lived to their 90s with. My wife's mother was 101 and my grandparents made it to their mid to late 90s though my parents smoked too much and didn't

    As I was approaching 70 a few years ago, my health was quickly going down hill. I made a few priority changes which have helped to restored my health. These were: becoming alcohol free, becoming coffee free, cutting way down on fruit serving sizes to avoid high blood glucose spikes, intermittent fasting most days. I still have a few changes that I know I need to add to the list. However, the ones listed not only helped me to address some serious health challenges, but also improved my health. Now at 72. I look forward to at least the next 10 years.

Even if you family support .little life is better than no life, is bs if u suffering...i am 84 years old and i am traveling in Asia alone. I am cancer survivor and have medical challenges but i had it all and i lived a dream life ...i am ready for what comes next and i enough is enough...if you didn't enjoy your life when you were younger, that is your loss,you can never make it up...
    Old people are ticking bombs if they don't have things just the way they want them and they are no fun to be around ...
    Further more, some old people are a burden and they live a life of pain and pills. Life without quality is no life and to merely exist is meaningless...
