I just read this whole thread. I had never read it before, since I made it to 70 in pretty good shape. As soon as I turned 70, it hit the fan, and now I'm recovering from a triple bypass and have time on my hands to read long threads.

I was impressed by Jacqui's admonition in '07:

I've said before, as you get older, never trust a fart. That is one of the lessons you need to learn FAST!

Several people on the thread made the same point. But in her case, there's a degree of ambiguity. Was she talking bowels, or marriage?
