I'm 48 and my life is pretty awesome. Watching my parents health decline sucks, but I guess that's a normal phase of life at this age.

Meh, the thrills are just different and maybe outwardly more mundane once you reach a certain age. At 24, going to Thailand is a thrill. At 40ish, finally getting home from Thailand is a thrill.

Getting home from a long trip, fixing something without having to drop $600 on a repairman, seeing the tree you planted have a good first year…old guy thrills, but thrills nonetheless.

my HS nickname was Thrill

College as well

DJ name

Adult Rec Competitive Softball

co-ed softball

Most people that knew me knew me by the name Thrill

And ladies considered me one as well






















that last is a lie.

32 ever since then I’ve welcomed death, this place is terrible. People suck, social media sucks, the whole world has gone to shite.

Wasn’t for my daughter, I’d be blasted in to another dimension like my brother did 25 years ago. He died at 19 and every day I’m starting to think he made right decision.

I'm almost 77, I appreciate every day the God has given me. I won the life lottery, wonderful wife and family, I still work in IT and get a thrill when people trust me to fix their problems.

I get a wide range of questions every day, "I have to put my brother in memory care, where do you recommend", "I want to buy my husband a nice camera for Christmas, what do you suggest?", "I have to do an award dinner for church, can you help me plan the menu".

Some days it wears me out, but 90% of the time, I'm happy to help and it makes me happy to help.

So, I still have the thrill of life, the downside are the friends and loved one who get ill. suffer and die becaue my friend group is old. One in particular is at Ochsner in the final stages of pancreatic cancer.

For most people, it’s when they’re about three and a half.

Billy Tauzin is like 90 years old and just proposed to a cute young black chick named Dash.

Skill issue imo

I’m 61. Right about now. But that’s a personal issue and should not be applied universally.

71 in November, life in retirement is good. Health is good, gym, pickleball, friends, enjoying life with my hard earned savings. No alarm clock, birds expect their feed every morning, breakfast with the financial news, planning the next road trip.

I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all
It's really fine to have the chance to hang around
