Rambo just turned 75 and works most days. I,m 69 and work most days no helper. The body pains comes more with age. I should join a gym for a way to rebuild the strength and use of other muscles and my knees hurt more now. I hope to work 5 years more if I can only time will tell. jz.

One should only feel as old as the girl he's holding. :twisted:

I'm a mere spring chicken even if I am on the wrong side of 66. shiteatinggrin

I also work most days, even yesterday (Sunday), I did an urgent white 3 seater for a store that is being delivered today. (Got dirty in transit).

Then, because Del; was at church, I knocked over an empty 3 bedroom + lounge + dining room, to make today that little bit lighter.

I don't think of myself as being old, merely older, maybe more experienced, definately not wiser. :lol:

I also hope, by slowing down and changing my jobs, (picking the work I want and dropping the heavy/awkward stuff), I'll still be active into my 80's.

While I still love what I do, and can still do what I love, I'll carry on.

If I have to do this until the age of Ray, Jack and Shorty, I might as well off myself now. I figured I was gonna be a millionaire off this business in no time. Good God. LOL

I'm 58....get up everyday and clean likes it's a lifestyle. Been doing it for 35 years. I'm sure I'll just give it up one day and say "FIA".


I do not start working each day before ....maybe 9, 9:30. I ain't rolling out of the sack till after 8.

i'm 32. I love this shit. I try and take care of my body..3 days in the gym..2 days Bikram..and put the sauce down years ago. Plus no smoking.

I could clean forever, but might have to take a guy with me to lug the equipment around.

I am turning 62 in a couple months. 41 years cleaning by myself. I don't take on as much as I used to. I am sure I can go 4 more years at least. Probably much longer if I just slow down over time and do just enough to get paid for a little exercise.

A friend of mine is collecting social security checks plus carpet cleaning 5 or 6 days week.

He seems kinda old but he's in better shape than most dudes half his age.

If you can lay off the fume sucking....Carpet Cleaning is a great work out.


Sitting in a chair in front of a computer all day will kill you.



Ask me how I know.


I looked like death warmed over at Mikey's Fest.

Anyone 60 or over who actually pushes the wands themselves gets free Teflon back savers at GG. It was a policy I started when we first opened and the new owners have carried on.

Take care,
Lisa

Old is when you realize your body cannot keep up with the pace of youth.

Fortunately, it is usually a gradual thing, and part of LIFE.
