    I notate where porta-johns are located on my running route. Construction sites. Boat docks. Youth baseball fields. Yer old when you appreciate the smell of new-blue-goo in a porta-John

    I may never go hiking again. I don't know of many trails with bathrooms or port-a-potties.

    Can't read the GD phone in the morning without my reading glasses.

    I should have added put a pair of readers in every room and purse and car.

    That goes with memory issues because you forget where you put the one pair you have also you can't see where you put them.


    Oh, memory issues are...what were we talking about?

    I am now guilty of having double standards.

    I've never found bald or balding men to be unattractive (unless they do comb-overs)
    BUT
    I now spend too much time trying to make sure my own hair is carefully brushed into place to try to downplay how much thinner it looks now with all these white roots.

    (Dont know why I bother as the second I step outside I forget I was trying to hide anything and the wind eradicates the careful brushing LOL)

    Other than that I seem to be holding up pretty well,
    except for the reading glasses thing
    and the needing more sleep thing
    and the change in taste buds (who knew I would ever EVER start liking saurkraut or enjoying a nice hot cup of .. water!?!

    oh heck with it...

    what was the topic again?

    Glasses.. I had perfect vision until I hit 40. Can't see a damn thing without them now. Also, at some point someone snuck sand into both my knees. Folks ten feet away can hear them grind when I climb stairs.

    Working very hard just to stay in roughly the same shape and size. Hearing men who are your age (paunchy, fat, badly dressed, and very wrinkly) explaining that they don't find "old women" attractive and they want to date younger women because that is what nature intended.

    We could do an entire thread on what you have written here alone.
