Things I wish I'd known before age 70

That your feet grow longer because the fat on the soles disappears.
That your body grows shorter, as the bones in your spine get thinner.
That older people call other people "darling" because they can't remember their names.
That remembering may be harder, but in many ways you're a lot smarter.
That your ears keep growing. ("My mom in her old age complained she looked like Lyndon Johnson.")
That you need more protein or you’ll lose muscle mass.
That you develop wrinkles because your skin is thinner and less elastic.
Let's rally the hive mind. To contribute to this list, simply post your entry below.
