[pilikia97]

I can no longer pull my feet back behind my head (and now having just typed that i realize it sounds kinda...naughty), nor can i do a cherry drop off the high bars.

34 & I can still do the 1st thing in your post Not sure what the 2nd is

A cherry drop is when you sit on top of the high bar, let yourself fall backwards so your knees catch the bar but you keep rotating so you flip and land on your feet.
And may I just say "wow!" and "that's awesome!" because you can still put your feet back behind your head at 34. I'm only 2 years younger than you but I have not been able to do that since i was probably 17!

I can not play third base anymore, my reflexes are not what they used to be. I have had a few close calls that in my younger years would have been no problem, but I am only 38.

I can no longer do a cartwheel, the splits or a back bend.

I used to be able to stand and walk on the tops of my toes. Not anymore.

Wow. So far we have several who will no longer swing, several who won't date, and some that can't put their legs behind their heads.

I'm scared to find out what's next.

Have normal conversation with any of my friends without someone bringing up what ailment they have & what specific perscription drugs they are on!

Rough amusement park rides are not appealing to me anymore. I can't handle the drop on ToT nor the RnR coaster. I'm going to try EE because I've never been on it.

We went to Kennywood Park (Pittsburgh) last summer and I was all excited to ride The Racer, a rather gentle classic wooden coaster that I enjoyed in my childhood. I rode it once, looked at dh and the kids, and sadly said, "Never again." : (

Ain't that the truth!? I could probably list the ailments and drugs familiar to all of my friends and their spouses.

I used to remember dozens of phone numbers. Friends, businesses, I was a walking 4-1-1. Now...not so much. Actually I guess I remember all the numbers, it's getting them in the correct combination and sequence that eludes me now.

Same here. It sucks because I used to go on everything 20 years ago.
I tried RnR and couldn't do it again.
I did ride EE and thought that was really good.

My excuse on all those rides is "Someone has to hold the bags" while they go on them.

I wish you could DIS more!! I can't go too long without seeing Simba pics!

Hmmm, let's see.....

I can't:

do cartwheels, round-offs or back bends anymore
run like I used to without becoming out of breath in a matter of a few feet
monkey bars without feeling as if my arms are about to be dislocated
go on any amusement rides that spin due to my sinuses
go up a flight of stairs without getting tired by the 4th step
fit into a size 12P (petite) clothes (I'm now 2-3 sizes bigger)

And I'm only 35 !

I used to be called "The Walking TV Guide" back in the 80's by my mom. There were so many good shows on in the mid 1980's.
