    You want to grab your baseball glove and go down to the ol' ballpark to watch a game of America's favoritie pastime but the cost of parking, hot dog, and an upper deck seat would eat up 80% of your social security check. So you park your dusty rear in the recliner and watch it on the tube while your wife berates you from the kitchen. The silver lining in all of this is your fear of death has lessened.

    I think somebody should build a sitcom around your thoughts.....you deliver on every post.

    ...in a place where you shouldn't have hair.

    And you don't have hair in places you should.

    Reading glasses wouldn't be necessary if manufacturers hadn't suddenly started making the print on labels so damned tiny *grumble grumble*

    Automatically protecting your vertebrae during a big sneeze. Contorting yourself to lessen the impact on neck and head.

    It isn't my back I worry about when I sneeze. I just have to remember to do a kegel.

    Same.

    Binge-watching old shows I’ve already seen because I can’t get into the current reality type shows. Then - fighting to stay awake in the middle of rewatching a show only to wake up as soon as the show is over...

    When you find yourself watching TV shows from your childhood and all the commercials are for medic alert bracelets, rascal scooters, and reverse mortgages.

    Good Lord - all of the above?! Hair, Farts, Piddles......... off the chart...... but I'll tell ya' I was recently on a cruise and they had a TV Theme Song Trivia.......... I was like "OOOH! I'm good at that!" and I started singing like "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name...." OR "We're movin on up....to the East side....." or "This is a tale of a fateful trip that started at this tropic port aboard this tiny ship...." (and yes you are welcome for the earworms if you truly are old. So we go, with my kids in tow (and THANK GOODNESS we did!) I mean, the first song came on and I was like "dafuq?" AND - yes - I knew NONE of the answers.... NONE - There was *thinking hard* it was at least 2, no 3 days ago - - Seinfeld, Friends, Sopranos, Saved by the Bell, Dr. Who (ok I knew that one) and well...... you get the idea. I'm so old I fart dust...........

    I worry about both :neutral:

    Also, mainly my mind. I legit don't remember like anything. the other day I pulled into work at 8am and left for lunch at noon only to find out that I forgot to turn my car off in the parking lot when I arrived, so she just sat there running for 4 hours... sigh...

    Sorry about that. I had a bad day and took it out on a random stranger.

    And all these low powered energy saving lights. When we had bright lights, I could see just fine.

    That's it, I'm not getting older, the lights are not as good these days, yeah, that's it...
