7. I have had to give up buying heavy items.

I had a chance to buy an old, lovely concrete statue yesterday but I couldn't even "rock" it in place; must have been in the 100 lb range. I would have loved to have it (a steal at $20) but no possibility I could have handled it. Getting old with a bad back is frustrating.
