Ohh, forgot that in my 50s I also did the training to receive my license as a massage therapist and moonlighted doing that for 5 years but gave up renewing my license a couple years ago as it was getting to be too much to do the day job, the home jobs, and have family/personal time along with taking clients for massages.

That came naturally--no real training necessary. Same for the chainsaw although in both cases I did make sure to read about safety measures.
Safety first!!!!!
Was your nickname Phoebe?
Phoebe gives Monica a massage on Friends.
Ahhh....I may be one of the few people left in the world who has never watched a single episode of Friends.
Thanks, but the reason I never watched it is because I had no interest.You can get to that right after Game of Thrones........
I'd rather watch Breaking Bad instead. I tried it when it was first on but my partner decided he didn't like it and it wasn't worth putting up with his passive aggressive behavior but I think I have him talked into it now that we'll have to jump through hoops to do so. 
Maybe that can be my 60s decade accomplishment. 
Oh, it's really funny and excellently acted. Chandler Bing, played by Matthew Perry, is one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Perry's comic timing is always perfect.
Drinkin' and carousin', carryin' on at all hours, fussin' and bar fightin', just havin' waayyy too much fun..I mean I stopped, curbed the enthusiasim if you will.
Yeah, probably not an accomplishment, but I was awful damn good at all that, um, till I wasn't
Oh, and controling impulsive behavior, takes some time to learn how to play tricks and make deals, on and with one's self, it's like being verrry clever, and totally not, all at the same time

Boxing, driving, painting and meeting Stephen King, all in the last 5 years. And same as for Ms Mod realising that my needs were as important as others is quite recent for me.
I don't know that I had necessarily been "waiting" to do it, but I did learn how to do a whole bunch of stuff without a drink in my hand.
That's been pretty cool.
What's it like? (nudge nudge)
Learned to drive a standard shift car at 38. The day before I picked up my 6 speed bit**n' Camaro
Also got to drive a Ferrari F430 on my 40th birthday

I think this is the part where I say I'm "supes jelly."
Is that right?
Well . . . at least they stopped saying "that's gay."
Carefree, happy people were getting kind of upset about that, as I recall.
I think it'd been better with another person.
I'm right there with you Marsha. Not a one to date. Woo hoo!
