Thanks for that! I hear that all the time as I work in a hospital. It seems to be one of the new "catch phrases". I usually respond with "Piss on it!" As staying hydrated goes, I like to lube my innards with BEER! There was a T-shirt that I still see around on occasion that reads, "Everyone has to believe in something; I believe I'll have another beer!" By the way, speaking of drinking, I have heard after consuming alcoholic beverages, (always) make sure to drink a full glass of water before going to bed. Then there is the silent voice in your head which says something on the order of "How happy am I?", which to me is a women's perspective, from the male side it's usually more like "It doesn't matter, ya do what ya gotta do." There was an old Daffy Duck cartoon, way back when where Daffy says,"I don't like pain, it hurts me!" That one always rings true for most folks. Thinking about that, I wonder if Masochists enjoy aging better than others because many of them actually LIKE pain. I never could understand that. Then here was a song back a ways, I think by "Blondie"?, with a line that says: "Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused." At any rate, the law of averages is that getting old is painful for most people and there ain't much we can do about it, except try to keep moving & remember the times, we all took for granted, when things didn't hurt. Speaking of moving, I remember a desk to desk flyer that somebody snuck into inter-department mail at work that said something on the order of,( Notice: Management has noticed that some people are dying on the job & failing to fall down. This practice must stop immediately as it becomes extremely difficult to determine the dead people from the normal movement of the staff!)
By the way; in thinking about it, it is difficult for us to determine how hydrated we are at home as one of my toilets is tan & the other is grey. On top of that, I have some iron in my water supply which further skews the color chart. My last question is how to tell if you are over hydrated, other than getting up to pee more frequently or is that kidneys failing or just old age? I do recall the good ol days of "Bladder Bliss",when I could go what seemed like forever, without the need to water the plants. Youth is just wasted on the young! I think I have been yappy enough for this thread.
