Re: because of the model A
FYI those orange and white lid medicine bottles if the white lid is tiered they usually have threads on them you can thread it into the orange part upside down then its just like a milk bottle top - no child proofing but wont spill the skittles if you knock it over. Plus the cap becomes larger and easier to grab.

Re: because of the model A
Here's a secret to staying flexible and relatively pain-free as you age: Stay away from school sports!! Especially football! Okay, maybe it's too late for you, but you can still save your kids or grandkids from the misery being described here. I was the kid watching from the sidelines and now at 74 I can touch my knuckles on the floor while keeping my knees straight, hold my arms straight up over my head, put my pants on standing up, kick chest high, lace my fingers behind my head, squeeze 170 lbs. on a bathroom scale while holding it straight out, and almost kick myself in the butt, all without searing, shooting pain. All original equipment joints, too! Yes, I have age-related ailments, but I attribute a major part of having a good range of motion and lack of pain to avoiding the usual childhood stupidity.

Re: because of the model A
I'm 75 and also feeling old and having trouble working on my Model As. I'll keep working on them as long as possible. I don't have any physical problems, except that I'm tired and lack the enthusiasm I used to have.

Re: because of the model A
I think most of us old "barn owls" are getting up there in age.
That's why I'm grooming my grand kids for my cars when I'm gone, won't they be the cat's meow driving to school in a Model A when all their friend's are being shuffled around by those self driving cars.

Re: because of the model A
My wife says, "Getting old isn't for sissies," and I think shes right, but it's better than the alternative. Glad I woke up this morning.
