    The general idea I've heard that goes with all the pearls here is "When you're old, things just don't work the way they do anymore." It ain't just the skin and bones...it's everything.

    Growing old in America is not fun!!! Things start going wrong and you may need numerous procedures, surgeries and medications. For some older folks the loss of independence and ability to do things is limited. I hate Growing old.

    Some people find geriatrics fascinating in terms of seniority .
