Heck Yea! Subbed. Looking forward to this channel. My Dad is also 75 (i am 53)

Am 83 am great full for every day I get. I try to live every day as if were my last. This make me realize that time is short & not procrastinate on things that need to be done

Thank you. Enjoy what you share.

Hi Paul, your channel is a welcome breath of fresh air, not too many people of a certain age post videos on you tube, it seems to be mainly younger folk doing it. I think you have a wonderful relaxed manner and you cover a wide range of topics too. I for one love your channel and look forward to future videos.

keepin' it real with Paul ! Keep doing the videos you love, once your channel blows up, the other videos will get the attention they deserve.

I think it was the "Get Boomer" video that caught my eye. I really enjoy your thoughtful commentary & believe that once a week is a good frequency for the timeless topics you cover.

Perfection is overrated.

I got randomly recommended this channel when it started out, clicked on the video, didn't know what to expect, but hey, you must be doing something right if I'm still here after 4 months

Hi Mr Deeds! Happy Sunday! And, likewise, I’m sure. Thanks for doing your thing here, and encouraging folks to come together and share ideas. The best things in life, I think, are those we initiated with absolutely no expectations. This way, I’m never disappointed. I hope the September there has been every bit as lovely as it is here in New England.

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to your future videos.😊

Hi Paul, oh my goodness I have been thinking about this since yesterday. The first time I ever thought about this. I think I could go on and on but to begin, my tribe is that of a military wife, and a sub tribe would be an Army wife, then a Senior Citizen tribe with a sub as an over 90 tribe, a Cancer Surviver tribe, a widow’s tribe, it goes on and on but I guess I could just say a survivor’s tribe and this time of year don’t forget an Arizona Summers Survivor tribe. I love your channel, keep it up, it gives me things to think about. G

Grateful Dead tribe.

Hey Paul, your video showed up on my random RU-vid feed. Never thought about my age much. I am a three time cancer survivor from agent Orange dioxins many years ago. I'm actually the lone survivor of my group of friends my age. I consider myself living on gifted time because ten years ago I was told to get my affairs in order, I have 6 months because of advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma. I fought it and survived that and two other cancers so I'm no quitter willing to get the most out of each day. Oh yea, my age and years of chemo has lingering effects but I'm compensating and finding other outlets for activities. Interesting video!

I’m in the permaculture, vegan and hard rock music tribes. But I get along with pretty much anyone.

We share a tribe if you have a MotherEarth News or Rodale publication in your home. Or if you have ever been accused of being a tree-hugger. LOL! I've retired from nursing so I immediately felt a kinship with your wife.

I'm firmly in the car tribe but within this I have several sub tribes Citroen, Jaguar, Bentley and Chevrolet Astro, I'm in the Karate tribe, sub tribe Shotokan and like you Paul I'm in the Senior Citizen tribe and still working and still enjoying life!

Motorcycle tribe: (Honda, Harley, Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha) - I’ve had at least 1 of each of these over my 55 years of riding. Military tribe: USAFSS Senior Citizen tribe.

I am 70 with graves disease. 20 years past my shelf date. Everyday matters. Yet everyday is just one more day managing graves disease

Hey Paul, looks like you've opened up a can of worms here. The upside is you have a larger demographic watching your channel than I would have thought. I appreciate the way you dealt with the issue. Personally, if someone chooses to pigeonhole me due to my age, then that's their prerogative. I can't control other people's thoughts. However, I can control my reaction. I don't really care much about what other people think or say about me. I have more important things to spend my energy on. Thanks for the video.😊

turned 77 in august,good friends ,some have on ahead of me.I have no trouble talking about the near future but many do. consider myself fortunate and grateful for scraping through the tough stuff. enjoyed youre bringing you feelings to the foreground. Bless you.

I am 78 and it's funny that at this age death is not a tragedy it's just something that will happen.

Hi Paul, I'm with you on youtube. It has saved me thousands of dollars. I have always been a do-it-yourselfer mostly because I have more time than money.... lol. As far as change goes, it is something that is inevitable. Nothing stays the same and nothing lasts forever. Some changes are good at first glance and some changes are bad at first glance. However, wait a while and the first impression of a change just might reverse itself. I am reminded of the tale of the Chinese farmer. Alan Watts tells it well on a RU-vid video. I am disappointed that I didn't get to see you riding a unicycle. Other than that, I enjoyed your video today. Keep it up friend.😊

Hi Paul, Whether or not something is good enough, is a matter of two things. The first thing is context. The second thing is perspective. Even though one person might consider something good enough and probably as good as they can do, others may not see it the same way. That brings me back to the old saying, you can please some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time. That statement was made in order to emphasize perspective when it comes to saying something is good enough. Let's talk about context. Sometimes good enough has to be just that.. good enough. For example, if you are in an emergency situation and you only have a limited amount of time and resources, then sometimes good enough will have to be good enough. It doesn't mean you did an inferior job. It means you did the best you could with the time and materials you had. I agree with your hypothesis that every one of us does the best we can. Some days the best we can do is different from other days. However, I firmly believe that we all do the best that we can. There are many factors involved in what that happens to be but still, it's the best that we personally can do. And so, it has to be good enough. And again, that's where perspective comes in. Others looking at us from the outside may have a different idea of what the best we can do might be. However, they don't share things from our perspective. They do not know everything that makes us us. The major thing that this hypothesis has helped me do is to be less critical and judgmental of others. This attitude helps me be less frustrated, angry, and disappointed with others. It helps me to maintain my peace of mind. I appreciate your video. Take care😊

Paul, are you reading my mind?😉 Glad I discovered your channel.

Hello Paul. I watched the video of the lucky ones. It made me think of a song that I have come to love as well called The Lucky One by Alison Krauss. The lucky One reminds me of my life. I am 70 years old and your video took the words right out of my mouth. Listen to The Lucky One and tell me what you think. Take care my friend.😊

I also graduated HS in ‘67. I knew I didn’t want to go to college so I put myself on the Air Force waiting list before graduating and worked the summer at the Bethlehem Steel Mills in northern Ind. Made it to basic training in Feb 68. Spent a couple of years in Texas then 1 year in DaNang (‘Monkey Mountain’). Fun times.

I have the same problem. Concerning your last question, count me in two for two.

I’m 75 and just quit riding motorcycles earlier this year and I keep thinking that was a mistake and should have kept the bike OR at least replaced it with a slightly lighter/smaller version - I think a 750cc would be perfect. :-) I have already lived longer than my parents and grandparents so guess I’m living in my bonus years now. Loving it here in NW Arkansas.

Also 75 here in Ohio. Barring WW III, I plan on sticking around into my 100's.

Hi there Mr Deeds! It’s always delightful to hear your thoughts and experiences. First and foremost: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I think your A/V equipment and tech used in your videos looks and sounds great. Thanks for bringing up your experiences with AI (and tech and the internet.) I’ve noticed a decline in the way AI is used, particularly in generations younger than me. It occurred to me that because these things existed before their childhood, many of them have no idea how to be responsible consumers of online information, and, no concept of the necessity of our species’ ethical and responsible usage of AI. I do not place blame on this, merely doing my part to provide education as needed. AI is essentially based on laws of probability theorem. This, to me, progresses to the idea that, the more people misuse or purposefully input misinformation into our collective database, the more we cause a detrimental impact on the future generations of AI and its users. I love AI and want to protect it and watch it advance, not regress. Anyway, Happy Labor Day weekend! Stay safe & happy. And, never be shy to ask a Gen X tech gal anything about a new device. I’m always flattered when this happens and usually able to help.

Hi Mr Deeds! Haha I love the ending! I enjoyed your take on the Top Ten List that’s better because it goes to eleven. I have so many memories from childhood of some lengthy meandering train-of-consciousness musings I’d make using my own admittedly peculiar and precocious vernacular. After being allowed the luxury of whatever diatribe I’d chosen for that day, my dad’s response was frequently the same six words: “I’m sorry, did you say something?” Anyway my take on ‘filling in the blanks’ for missed bits of conversation: If the person speaking is inclined not to give you the courtesy of honoring your request for a repeat, that person is not worth listening to. Just my humble opinion. Sending positive vibes your way! Thanks for the upload. (I will sit and type out my soon-to-be world famous mac & cheese recipe in the appropriate place so as not to screw up the old Al Gore Rhythm.)

When I'm in a situation where I can't hear I'll point to my ears and say "Too many rock concerts. I can't hear worth a darn." This usually gets a laugh and it breaks any tension. It turns those first impressions from a prissy old biddy to a cool hippie chick. Just between you, me and the world it wasn't rock concerts. It was headphones with the volume turned up 'way too much.

I’m 65 and still ride a bicycle 20 miles/day on average 3 times a week (3,000 miles/yr; did 4,000 miles in 2020!). I feel great and will keep doing it because, well, it’s awesome! I ride in a huge over-55 housing complex in FL - speed limit is 20 mph. I feel like I’m 35-40 years old. I started riding when I was 53 and working, and have just continued. My dad had a heart attack and 5-way heart bypass when he was 60 (1993). And my younger brother had a cardiac stent implanted when he was 53. Neither do much cardio. Me? So far, no heart problems. In fact, no anything problems, health wise. And I’m a cancer survivor from way back when I was in my 20’s. I LOVE riding my bike because of how good it makes me feel afterward. And because I’m outside. The irony for me will be if there’s a Mack truck with my name on it somewhere in my future. Ah well - at least it’ll be quick!

Hi Mr Deeds! I appreciate your take on delay of gratification. It’s something innate to me because I am a twin. From my earliest memories, I always understood that sometimes my turn is first and sometimes my twin goes first. I don’t think your food habits are silly. I always leave the chocolate crunchies in the middle of ice cream cakes for last because they are the best part. I don’t like jelly beans because I have the ability to determine a very close estimate of how many of them are in a jar, so I always won the jar. I ate way too many jelly beans as a kid due to this. Lastly I make the best homemade mac & cheese in the world. Let me know if you’d like my recipe. Thanks for being you!

Hi Mr Deeds! I love the Boomers. It’s always fun to receive a picture they took, on an iPad, rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise. I’m Gen X and I often tell people that I don’t know how to drive an automatic transmission, only stick. Some people really take some time to react quizzically. Hugs from Connecticut 🤗

Hi Mr Deeds, What an unusually thoughtful find on the old YT. I’m in my 40’s. Two years ago I found my husband’s corpse, he died suddenly and unexpectedly. Since then I consider all of this ‘bonus time.’ I wanted to ask, if you’re so inclined, your thoughts and opinions on early Alzheimer’s testing. My dad is about your age and brilliant; the past 5 years or so I’m noticing changes in his memory and personality which don’t seem characteristic of normal aging. The past two weeks, I’m finding occasions when I completely lose my train of thought in conversation and can’t get it back. My own intellect is extremely important to me and I protect and strengthen it every opportunity I get. While neither Dad nor I exhibit any obvious symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, I do feel that the early detection blood tests might be a good idea. However I do not want to alarm or upset my family unnecessarily by bringing this up. I’d love any feedback you may have. Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it. How on earth do you keep your skin so youthful looking? Sending positive vibes from the southwestern Connecticut flood zone.

Great video Paul, a superb assortment of vehicles, I went down a similar road and at 68 I'm currently on my 51st car hope I can hang in there a bit longer to enjoy a few more!

Totally there with you Buddy, smiling and nodding is the daily routine, normally ok if I'm right in front of someone but too much background noise and I'm floundering! sometimes it's funny but most of the time it's frustrating. Great video.

Nice content.. Seventy …living in Joseph Oregon

Regarding gratitude: just being born in the US is a huge gift. We always compare our situation to those who are better off. Remember there are 8 billion (? other people on the planet who would be grateful to come here. BTW, on the hair, I'm your age & jealous 😅

Judging any generation by the actions & attitudes of a few is like looking through a letter slot in the front door & thinking that view tells you about the house. One of the dumbest things we boomers do is offer unsolicited advice. Share your wisdom if requested. Otherwise remain mute. Let others know how you feel bu don't tell them how they should feel. Just my unsolicited advice for the day😊

At 80 I am way over my best before date and disintegrating rapidly. Not worried.

Trusting the WHO is the error. World Health Organization wants everyone dead by 60-70. And forced Euthanasia is part of their plan.

I’m 65 and I want to die at 75.

I'm 77. I want to live and long and healthy life. I have found the best way to do that. We are alive today because our ancestors survived for thousands of generations. What did they eat for thousands of generations? For 99% of that time, they were hunter-gathers. They hunted and ate animals. The body of a person who looks like Santa Claus (a big belly) is NOT malfunctioning. The malfunction is NOT with the body, the malfunction is with the diet. That body is doing exactly what it has been designed to do, which is to store excess carbohydrates as fat for use during the winter time when animals are scarce and difficult to hunt. Your body can use either carbohydrates for energy or fat for energy. To change your body to prefer fat instead of carbs, you slowly reduce your carb intake down to 20 grams per day. Then your body will begin using your stored fat for energy. You can NOT improve your health by ADDING things to your diet. There is no magic pill. The way to improve your health is by REMOVING things from your diet. Our ancestors never ate sugar. It didn't exist. They didn't eat honey unless they wanted to deal with a swarm of angry bees. Our ancestors never ate grains. Farming is a relatively recent activity. When today's farmers get ready to sell a pig or steer, they feed them lots of grains to fatten them up. Grains have the same effect on humans. Our ancestors never ate vegetable oils. Vegetable oils have only been around for about one hundred years. Vegetable oils are not made from vegetables, they are made from seeds in an industrial plant. Some of those oils were originally used as machinery lubricant. Vegetable oils begin to degrade as soon as they're put in the bottle. When your body makes new cells, do you want those new cells to be made from quality oils or degraded oils? How Canada convinced you to eat engine lubricant. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c1kyubykrvA.html Over time, plants developed defense mechanisms (toxins) to prevent them from being eaten by insects, birds, animals, and humans. Dr. Anthony Chaffee - 'Plants are trying to kill you!' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j1cqNDDG4aA.html Most vegetables found in the grocery store contain oxalates and lectins which cause inflammation in our bodies. Sally Norton documents these poisons in her book, Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick www.amazon.com/Toxic-Superfoods-Oxalate-Overload-Sick/dp/0593139585 The leading proponent of this way of eating is Dr. Ken Berry. He is simply telling us to eat the same foods that our ancestors ate. Dr. Berry is NOT selling anything. Dr. Berry has more than 3 million subscribers on RU-vid. Thousands of his followers have reported fantastic health benefits. One guy was on ten medications for several years. After changing his diet, he got completely off 8 meds and was able to lower the dosage on the other two meds. Others have reversed Type-2 diabetes, reversed fatty liver disease, cured sleep apnea, lowered blood pressure, lost hundreds of pounds of body fat, and eliminated brain fog. Dr. Chris Palmer explains the benefits of changing your diet in his book, Brain Energy. www.amazon.com/Brain-Energy-Revolutionary-Understanding-Health/dp/1637741588 Dr. Berry's RU-vid videos can be found here. www.youtube.com/@KenDBerryMD This way of eating is a time saver. I get hungry only once at day, usually between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. I don't eat by the clock. I don't eat just because it's breakfast time, lunch time, or dinner time. When I wake in the morning, I'm not hungry. This is because my body is using stored fat for energy. And when I DO eat, I eat until I am "comfortably stuffed". No will power is required to deny myself food. I never go hungry with this way of eating. Stop consuming "food" that is bad for your body and you will thrive! You will live a long time without growing old. Cancer feeds on sugar and other carbohydrates. A low carb diet starves the cancer cells. Dr. Berry interviews cancer researcher Professor Thomas Seyfried. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EN58tZ6dspA.html

I’m 86 since last June. I’m living on bonus time. And doing well enough all things considered. My oldest brother died earlier this year at age 90. I’m going in for an angiogram tomorrow, gonna see if my coronary plumbing is ok. My mobility is challenged by neuropathy and a worn out left knee and other than a bad lower back (arthritis I’m told), I’m in pretty good shape. Whining never did anyone any good so I won’t, I try to maintain a positive attitude. It’s all I can do.

70 ur old here very healthy. My parents and grandparents lived into their 90s not sure I went to go that far though

Congratulations on your 75th trip around the Sun. Tomorrow I'll have completed 85 trips with no complaints. No idea how many more trips I'll have, and if time proves no more trips, I'll have nothing to complain about. Be well.
