Ya're okay trust me. Lots n lots of room for improving.
Its not suprising to se 60 70 yrs old retired pool hall attendant/house pro in taiwan running 70s in straight pool n breaking running 3 packs in 9ball consistently.
Any other oldies out there finding out the "golden years" is just another lie

I turned 67 last July. I'm not too bad, all things considered. Overweight, bad disc in lower back, arthritis in both hips, bursitis in right ankle, and developing a problem in my left knee. I can still see ok, bifocals for a lot of years now. I know people who are much worse off. I can still knock 'em around, just can't play those six hour sessions any more. I've avoided tournament play because I didn't think I could last.
JAY, YOU DOG!!
JAY, YOU DOG!!
You're the greatest! :thumbup:
Thanks, Jay. And, may I say, I'll wager your young lady is as gracious as she is beautiful. :smile:
The guys at work call this the" golden shower years".
I feel your pain Lou. I'm getting old and decrepit myself.
Luckily I have a new used cue on the way. Figure I'll play lights out again once I get that baby!
:thumbup:
Ak Guy is right. Our mission here on earth has only one goal to accomplish and that is to reproduce. Anything else is secondary. It is the prime directive.
And, like Jay, pt, Scott. and many others, I myself dedicated a great deal of my life trying to fulfil that directive. Whenever, and wherever I could.
Now, however, with the passing of time, we find that obligation being passed to a younger, stronger, and more capable generation of reproductive warriors leaving us with little more than our memories. Little more than our past glories. Real, or imagined.
Pool rooms across this great land are filled with us. Our lamentations heard on back tables everywhere.
Damn! I need a Redhead, and a bottle of Quervo. :sad:

I'm almost 70 and i get up to pee at least 3 times a night.
after reading the posts here it seems I'm not alone.
Has anyone had any success using the various herbal remedies that are hawked for this condition?
I'm also finding that as I have aged it takes a lot more concentration to play my best and it does tire me out.
Most of the time i cruise along in a high gear without taxing my brain.
If I have to pull out another level of play it makes my brain and body tired.
3 hours or so of top gear and I'm done.
A bottle of "Hanks" water does help

Ok, gonna give you old timers something to help you get through it all 
First, just got back from Iowa, and the team I was on finished 16th out of 140 teams. The players ages of the team were, 54, 68, 72, & 76. Not bad for 3 old guys and a really youthful and sporty 54 year old
Also, if you want to help your joints and brain, for concentration, take a tablespoon of fish oil every day. The brand from Norway is the best, you can find it at most good vitamin and health stores.
If concentration and memory and lack of staying power on the table is the issue, start this regimen daily. It will also help with your creaky joints as well. I started it because of multiple knee surgeries over the last few years from a baseball injury.... I could tell the difference within the first 2 weeks, and have not looked back.
You got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Money well spent, and in this day and age of dementia hitting elderly pretty hard in the last decade or so, anything good for your brain can't be a bad thing, consider this some "cheap" insurance for your noggin !!!!

The absolute most important vitamin you can take for overall well being is Tumeric. If you don't take anything else take this one! Yes, I also take Omega 3 (fish oil) every day, along with Vitamin D3, CoQ-10, and a really good multiple vitamin.

The object is to play so much that it becomes reflex so you're spending
minimal energy. Have you sat on your balls yet? That sucks,
that's when you know you're old
I try to stay away from Meds like this. Too many side effects.
I'm looking for a more natural way like the herbals.
I had a problem with rolling out of bed at night while asleep. I've been taking Viagra for that. :thumbup:
We're not really complaining, Bill. Truth be known I'm sure we're all thankful for just being here. Especially Jay.
Well witch one of 3 for got a spermicide cyst the size of a golf ball , good news they don't droop bad news it only gets bigger no insurance to get it removed draining by needle is the alternative ouch however if you can find a women that can twerk its all good
But seriously I've got numerous problems at 56 I kiss the ground every day I wake up
I'm limited in how hard I can do something but I'm not limited to the point where I don't do things I like to do , ride my Harley don't lean on the bad hip , hunt stay in a ground bilnd , surf fish keep right arm close to body when casting
I'm not rich I have no retirement plan or money but I'm frugal basicly have all I want and do what I want when I want with few exceptions ,,
Really the hardest thing for me to do is sleep that's when the aches and pains set in
Other than that I'm enjoying these yrs and have a oops daughter 14 that keeps me rolling
Realy a god send to me ,,
