    You’re over the hill,
    So take a pill,
    Aches and pains,
    Always complains.

    Youth of old age,
    Demand the best wage,
    Relax and chill,
    You’re over the hill.

    Condolences and all….from gaelle.

      Not that I want to depress you, but human perception of most things is logarithmic. If we set t=0 at conception, then age 50 is 89% of the way to age 85 in terms of log t elapsed since birth. So assuming your life expectancy to be typical, you only have 11% of your experience of existence remaining. Enjoy…

        To compensate I’ll be sure to live a lognormal lifestyle from now on..
