Well, people who ask you that, really do not care how you are, it is just a form of greeting.

A lot of Older people I know and see, do not remember me anyway.

My 50 year high school reunion just took place Sept 11th.

No, I didn't go, didn't care about going because I hated high school and the cliques that existed, that I was not part of.

But most of all, disregarding the above, had I attended, it would have turned into a running discussion of each person's last 20 years of health issues.

About three times a year something some where turns a color, or looks weird, feels different , needs to be pinched or pushed,

and sometimes a guy just wants to know if what it's doing is normal .

85% is just life going on.
But again,
No one wants to hear or talk about it.

LOL. NO fun getting old.

Fore arm alert:
Last week: very small red,purple and dark brown dot.

This week:
Now it's four times larger with irregular edges.

I know, I know,
You got your own symptoms

Suffering comfortably

My answer to "how you doing?" is usually, "not bad but it's still early."

My reply, "So far, so good."

My best friend died at 96. His reply was, "Sitting up and taking nourishment."
