This young lady is turning 18 years old! 😾 This makes Naia the oldest living black-footed cat in the U.S. population, and possibly the oldest in the world! She is, however, shy of being the oldest recorded BFC by 6 months. So here is to good health Naia!

“Taking care of the elderly comes without the vast literature of advice and encouragement that accompanies other kinds of commitments, notably romantic love and childbearing. It sneaks up on you as something that is not supposed to happen, or rather you crash into this condition that you have not been warned about, a rocky coast not on the map.”

—Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby.

Happy 16th to our sweet William! It’s hard to believe this boy is an elderly chap - he has the spirit of a youngster. His cub-like exuberance is one of the many things that make him extra special!!

Haemosiderin staining

"Haemosiderin staining" describes orange/red/brown skin hyperpigmentation caused by haemosiderin (an iron-containing pigment found in blood) leaking into the skin.

Causes:

Chronic venous insufficiency (in lower legs)

Skin inflammation

Trauma e.g. wound, fracture, surgery

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses

Haemochromatosis

Haemosiderin staining may be exacerbated by anticoagulant use as this increases extravasation (leakage) of red blood cells into the skin.

See an example here.

You may...

...finally have low-hangers although they no longer hold any sexual significance;

...sport a chest so concave you make the letter "S" when you stand;

...or possess moobs so large you must purchase your shirts in the Women's Department of Dillard's and must keep small pets at a distance so they don't try to suckle;

...have hair where once you were bald and be bald where once you had hair and neither by choice;

...avoid little blue pills because they only spike your blood pressure and not your dick;

...and have so many wrinkles that youngsters mistake you for a pug...

BUT...

You are still amazing! You have a life experience unique to you, and you are a trailblazer for those men who now hold hands in public, get married, and have a sexual identity free from guilt. The world needs your authenticity, so be unapologetically you!

Elderly Embrace Extreme Sports, but Is It Just a Senior Moment?

A growing number of seniors are swapping shuffleboard for skydiving and front lawn socials for BMX biking. These geriatric daredevils are golden age adrenaline junkies and they’re defying expectations and gravity as they embrace extreme sports with gusto. Some local retirement communities, once known for their tranquil gardens and leisurely bingo nights, are now loud with partying and roaring…

Summer’s basically here, so expect all the old folks to demand you get off their lawn with your SPORTSBALLS.
