What CAN'T you do anymore?

[Kitty 34]

I'll tell you, at my age, it seems like more and more things are added to my can not do list.

Anymore I can't:
do a cartwheel
run farther than next door
eat ice cream without suffering
touch my toes

and today my PT told me I can't dance anymore because of my lower back problems. I love to dance. Guess I'm going to have to just use this smilie all the time instead!

I can't handle swings anymore. One time up and back and I start to get queezie

 

[disneymama73]

Splits

 

[arielsleepingbeauty]

Hula Hoop
Fit into my size 0 jeans
Do a back walkover
stay up until past midnight

you're an ex-swinger? I can't do a back spring anymore

 

[MALE*RN*777]

Have kids... I was fixed last month.

 

[Narnian_Princess]

I'm not old, but I used to do killer Yoda and Jar Jar impressions... those dubious skills went away when I was about 13.

I can't swim like I used to either.

 

[scrapbookwiz]

I can't handle swings either. I couldn't believe how sick it makes me. Boy I am getting old.

 

[Ride Junkie]

Get across the monkey bars at the school. When I actually went there (25 years ago), I flew across the bars no problem, even skipping 1 or 2 bars. Now, I try to get across 1, and I fall off...it feels like I weigh about 500 pounds when I'm up there!! What the...!! Where did my upper body strength go?? Oh yeah, it left me, along with the last of my dignity.

 

[SDFgirl]

In general...I can't drink more than a few beers without feeling hungover the next day.

Now that I'm pregnant, I can't change my cats' litterbox anymore! Hurray!

 

[KarenB]

Stay up longer than my kids. I get SO angry at myself. Both DSs are teenagers, in HS, and working part time. They usually get home when they work at 10:30. I want to stay up and talk to them, but I just can't seem to do it.

I can't remember s***. Going through menopause

 

[Kitty 34]

I can't remember s***. Going through menopause

Yeah, that's another thing I can't do....I just forgot!!

 

[Talking Hands]

Walk down stairs without falling.
Can't jump rope anymore
Can't sing on key

 

[JunieJay]

What a depressing thread Kitty!

I could do a cartwheel up until I was 35 or so, but I don't dare try one now. I'd surely kill myself. I can still hula, at least I could a couple of years ago, I actually won an adult hula contest at WDW. LOL.

I can't swing anymore either. That is a sad sad day when you realize swinging is no longer an option.

A year or two ago, I tried to skip. It was really hard - like my body couldn't remember how to do it anymore . It's one of those things that you just don't have the need to do as an adult, but that comes so naturally when you're a kid. I don't know when the last time I had skipped before that was - maybe elementary school. It felt weird to know exactly how to skip in my brain, but not to be able to make my body do it. I think I'll try again, relearn how, and start skipping for exercise .

 

[GeorgeG]

The list is long...

In my forties I started noticing a few things (just a few) that I couldn't do anymore. In my fifties, the list started growing. Now in my sixties, I'm thinking about having the list made into a book... large print, of course!

Actually, I can still do a lot, but not as well or for as long as I used to. Still a list, though.

 

[It's A Happy Day]

Date! Well I guess I still could but I think DH might have a problem with that

 

[Steffi]

I can no longer drink orange juice. And I miss it.

I can't walk on my hands anymore. That used to be fun.

I can't help my DD with her math homework anymore. (She's in 6th grade.)

 

[LadyShiva]

Drink alcohol or caffeine. I really miss sweet tea.
Skimp on sleep. It's too hard chasing a 2 yo the next day.

I'm sure there are more... I just can't remember them!
