I think I'll get a power chair so I can sit while I shop and honk at people that get in my way. haha. And have power chair races... after I get Tim Taylor to give it 'more power'! haha

bostjan the adequate 🥉 Haha. We used to see a guy riding around town on a supercharged power chair, but I have not seen him since 2017. I hope he's okay. It seemed dangerous to me to go 40 miles per hour in a vehicle engineered to go maybe 6 mph max. -
Linda Joy lol! There is a guy in the next unit over that rides his power chair all over. I'm jealous! His is fast, but I don't think its super charged. Honestly I'd probably be afraid to go too fast!! -
Army Veteran I'm 66 and I have a brother who is 67. He's all but confined to a wheelchair because of his poor lifestyle choices (he could do better, but he's going through denial). Although I might look 50 pounds or so lighter, my weight is currently in the upper 200s. I see grossly overweight people using power chairs at Walmart - people who should be walking to lose the fat. I choose to never use a power chair. I may get a little breathless pushing ta shopping cart around sometimes, and when I do, I stop for a few moments to catch my breath. My mobility is important to me - I live in a basement apartment and need to navigate the stairs frequently...an exercise that becomes more challenging when carrying 50 pounds of groceries downstairs. I never take my health for granted. After suffering heart failure, I know how much easier it is to maintain good health than it is to try and get it back once it's messed up. Yeah, riding around on a power chair looks like fun - until you have to do it. Thanks, but no thanks. My independence is worth way more than that. -
Linda Joy I have DJD (degenerative joint disease). I used to go up and down the hill outside, but my ankles started hurting worse (they've both been broken in the past) I also have degenerative issues in my spine, and a couple years back I shattered my 5th metatarsal. It never really stopped hurting, but I couldn't do surgery at the time because I was on chemo. My point being you never know what those fat people are going through. I've been going in and out of a-fib lately and can't do much of anything sometimes. As for the independence, I can't go anywhere unless I get a ride, which would be changed by getting a scooter. So I guess it just depends on the situation.

I'll tell you when I reach that age. I'm only 43 right now.

So what do you think is great about your 40's? -
Army Veteran
40s is a lot better than 60s.

So far, none apparent.

The best thing about being 60 is that it was still a long ways from 75! IMHO.

Some places honor the senior discount at 60. Take advantage - use the 10% on your next gallon of gas.

I don't buy gas, but there are some others as well!

1) I'm doing things for myself, not because my parents tell me 2) I know what life is about and its by no means similar to what I thought it was and if this is all there is that's all there is and I have to be satisfied with it. 3) I am able to see the struggles my parents went through. 4) I am old enough to inherit. lol 😇
