Yes.

 

Or, you could find yourself, living in a shack....

 

 

Still, wherever you live, it will ONLY happen ONCE.....

I am 75, get up at 04:30 exercise in the local gym 5 days a week, getting there around 05:45 and walk on average 8km a day

 

Don't you find this regimen of yours a bit tiring?

 

And, do you not worry that this incessant over-activity  might wear you out, before your time?

 

What about your joints, for example; might they not wear out prematurely?

 

In addition:  What about your joint?  Are you exercising that, as well?

Possible 

I would hate the alternative, sitting in a 21sqm unit in the flybird condominium or Nirun condominium all day bored out of my mind listening to banging doors and screaming kids 

This is his reality of Pattaya/Jomtien.

See, you could be sitting in a 60 sqm condo with beautiful pool and well equipped gym in many seaside locations in Thailand. The world is your oyster

GG has no idea that kind of place even exists. In his very small world he has not been able to experience this. It would be the same as saying owning a private jet and yacht.  Clueless, its totally evident by his posts. 

Yes indeed time is precious to us all regardless of age, so let us reflect as we near the end of 2025 what use of our valuable time did me make this year.

 

Did any of us :

 

a) Stroll uninvited along the corridors of undesirable Pattaya condominiums making a general nuisance of ourselves.

 

b) Get into altercations with a diverse section of the animal and human species, ranging from monkeys to ladyboys.

 

c) Conduct truly Nobel prize winning research covering dental clinics with the word Smile in their name, to the number of suicides in Pattaya.

 

No me neither. So why the effing hell does the OP think we should heed advice from the biggest crackpot on the forum.

Agreed but you should enjoy the time you have. Many on here dont seem to enjoy their time in this world.

Very similar. Get up at 5 and have a coffee and look at the news on my computer. Out the door by 545 for a one hour brisk walk that covers 6k. Keep active around the house cooking, gardening and baking. Then in the evening go out again for a 40 minute brisk walk. We have a nice gang of men and women who are also out everyday so there is chatting and comradery. Started 9 years ago when I was 64 and my kids were leaving for university in America. End up doing about 18,000 steps or about 12 miles.  Sure as heck feel better than I did 10 years ago. 

You feel good for it I know. Good to know there are some of us whose life doesn't revolve around a bar stool.

No I enjoy it. I have a workout for the gym that exercises all parts of the body including joints
