i am getting old, just did the classic old person thing

I know I am old. I mopped my floor with Mop-N-Glo and when I was done, I really appreciated the shine.

My only issue with getting old,is my lower back issues.Other then that,Things just don't get to me other then the serious issues that the powers to be are throwing at us as regular folks.

I've done that with my sunglasses, they were on my head. You're not alone.

I bought a grabber for that from Harbor Freight Tools.. You just pull the handle and the pinchers on the end of the stick does the rest.

I might outfit my tub with handles there too. Ill know then that Im over the hill.

I don't want to get old, I'll just kill myself when I reach 32, or when Jesus died for my sins.

I keyed in a phone number on my microwave once to defrost some meat.

hey, i got three different pairs of glasses. one to see up close, one for far away, and one for everything in between. sometimes i wear two pairs at once. hee

Yup, used to be we partied Friday night, partied Saturday night and had neighbourhood bar-b-ques on Sunday... Go, go, go, non stop...

and now...

We're too tired on Friday night to do anything but sit down, maybe check out some threads on GLP and relax.. On Saturday night, for the most part, same as Friday night.. and having more than a couple of people over at a time on Sunday... well...it's just exhausting!

Our get up and go, has definitely got up and left.

Preparing for shower: Put something in the sink to soak and turned on shower to regulate the water. Got in the shower, and after a bit wondered why I was losing all the hot water. Click and warning bell went off.

Yup, forgot to turn off the sink. Flooded the bathroom, part of the bedroom and since the vents are in the floor, a good sized area in the basement!!!

Now I am just NOT that old!!!!!

I remember when my first grandchild was born.....the first thing I thought was.....NO....I'm not ready to be a grandmother, I'm not wise enough yet. I felt so unprepared for that.

Then there was the baby car seat & the highchair & the stroller. all of them had a different & complicated system of straps. I got so stressed out trying to strap the infant into those things...they are so complicated....that I wondered if I should go and get a PhD to figure them out. One day when taking my grandaughter to daycare, I could not get those darn straps (buckles) undone. I felt embarasssed, frustrated...& my 4yr old little one, said to me...grandma, maybe we should get some help....wow....I agreed....so a man, who just happened to be coming out of the daycare centre, helped me & got the child out of that contraption. Why are there so many straps & locks on those darn things anyway....they are a safety hazard.

geez, no kidding, if you need to get the child out in a hurry, how scary, pack scissors I guess.

you got low T brother.

leaving them....
why did you put them in there in the first place?

OMG - thought it was just me or my fingers were too weak....

Hell, I was so tired I fell asleep in the shower after I got home from work. lol!

Yea.....that too.....you need to have fingers & hands of steel to open those darn clasps/buckles???? (OR) is it, that our hands are weaker....sssshhhh

Post Raisen Bran.
Every. Single. Day.

This really happened to me.

I was standing on the front porch getting ready to feed a cat by putting food in his bowl.

My pants fell down around my ankles.

Due to my bad back including a metal rod, I can't just reach down and pull them up quickly. I was kind of frozen in place until I could shuffle out of the doorway.

I looked around and fortunately there were no neighbors in sight.

Yes, I had skivvies on. Thank God.

But that was the official day of my being an official member of the old fart club.

LOL

wait till you can hide your own Easter eggs!

Oh God. You killed it. lololol

I spent 30 minutes looking for my sunnies when I was 18.

They were on top of my head.

lol, not sure if this was mentioned, but when over 50, do not ever trust a fart!

fyi, it only happened to me at 59

runs, will never post again lol!

oh yes doing that

53 here. Had my first colonoscopy on Tuesday.

Oh man...
