I had dinner a few weeks ago at a lovely place called the chocolate factory It's a upper class place where I sipped my fine Australian wine without being around the uneducated and lower class fabric of society

Please tell me ,you guys OVER 80 do you eat healthy Are you doing anything different health wise diet etc OR is it a case of more enjoying life and drinking and smoking partying dancing rooting smoking etc I mean when your over 80 does it matter if you drink smoke and have the Wine Wonen & Song ??? Wouldn't that be the best way to "go out "

My dad ended up refusing anymore chemo at 80, he ended up looking like a prisoner of war i believed that killed him with the pneumonia not the cancer ! His death was actually pneumonia not lung cancer caused by the chemo You have to know when to get it and when to not

Would it matter though if your over 80?

I saw the former champion of bodybuilding King of leg Squats Tom Platz recently, he was 75yo and looked over 80 ! Maybe it was the steroids but does exercise make you live past 85 , not that I can see !

Bodybuilders especially

Absolutely not ,I'm the same as you John and only eat at the Pattaya Hilton or those restaurants on Pratimnak Hill I won't be seen eating with the lower class I can assure you of that ,!!!

I remember the graffiti back in the 1980"s ....Jim Rules !! No idea who Jim was but he wrote that everywhere Never saw Linux rules though ,strange one ,oh don't be strange there's no need for it !!

You should buy a lottery ticket Sir,your the luckiest boy I have known

Your a realist the only problem with that is .... If things go south relationship wise .....they can kick you out ! I asked my late mother to sign the house over to me before she died ....she went to see a bloodsucking lawyer who advised her NOT to He actually told me to wait outside the room until he spoke to her !

Sadly ,you can do all the exercise you want and it may ward off certain diseases , i have no idea what the common death for 80-85 but I believe cancer doesn't discriminate whether you exercise or not

So now you conditioned yourself to be old To act old will make you look old Start going to dance clubs !! I never see the old guys wearing long socks up to their knees like my dad's generation did ,mind you they were all neatly dressed then. And the cardigans I never see them now

When my late mother was dying of cancer I asked her if she wanted me to contact her brother who she hadn't spoken to for years She didn't ,I have no idea why but that was sad And I know many of you have lost touch with family over the years for various reasons I'm hesitant to say now if your in your last years of life whether actually you SHOULD contact them because...they may just want to get your money if they think your dying !!!!!

Lol 😅

What do you plan to do.in the next 5-8 years you have left ,

Doesn't matter in all probability you won't be here past 85 ,be a realist

Well that's where your wrong , why should a 80yo man not go to a dance club ? You see many of you want to fit the image of being old ,hobbling along , socks pulled up to the knees , pretending to walk slow ,using walking sticks Look I was behind a slow old guy today ,he was probably younger than me ,hobbling and pretending he was old carrying a shopping bag whilst I carried 3 I passed him on the short stairway I turned to him and said "Go to the gym ,No one feels sorry for you !!!

Why do we hear of these stories where someone did not make a Will ? Even farang expats living alone in that we hear these stories where the embassy is trying to contact long lost relatives in the UK or Australia to say Uncle Jack has passed in his room in the Flybird condominium listening to that song Lemon tree

Obviously the probality is higher in an older person I have no idea how old you are but you say you intend to enjoy everyday well that depends more on age the more you should enjoy Should a 80 yo person be doing more enjoyable activities everyday than a 30yo person?

The gamble now is will you make the next 20-25 years you have left ? theres no guarantee

As we get towards the end of 2025 many of you still haven't come to realisation that you will become a year older For those of you passing 80yo every day waking up will be a blessing . .for those getting past 75 , your now on the downhill I say this because I worked last night just past the palliative care section of the hospital Those people didn't know or even last year that they will be soon departing Be a realist that's all I ask of you and live your life those of you who have made 80 congratulations !!! Your thinking may become different if your sick k at this age eg you probably will refuse chemo treatment more than likely All the best to you but be a realist and the importance of making a Will and even reconnection with family you haven't spoken to for years over a disagreement even if it's a simple goodbye ,and maybe forgive them for whatever happened in the past Times ticking on ,make a Will don't be in denial your not going anywhere ,your funeral wishes , etc It's important but as usual many of you will want to avoid it Your wishes , do you wish to be resuscitated? Do you wish your organs to be donated ? Make plans now

Oh please can we have some positive input , you sound like a lawyer in a Court Cross examining people!

Oh open up those borders to these poor people!

They certainly do I remember giving a lift in my car many moons ago to a work colleague nearly every week I once and once only, asked him to drop me at a shopping centre he was going past but he made all excuses that day so I just caught the bus !

Omg 😱 Shocking tragedy it really is. And they leave questions to the family on why ? The guilt , etc on the family who blame themselves
