    I'm eating my dinner thinking about how tired I am, my feet hurt, my back hurts, it was way too hot today. I got into a good chat with this guy about millennials and we both agreed that millennials are the worst. :lol:

    There was something else I thought of today that was perfect for this thread. I forgot what it was in the intervening 3 hours, which fits as well.

    I lost the ability to sleep-in
    Wow, I lost that years ago, in my late 20s. I was always a get up early person, but I am NOT a morning person, I need breakfast or at least some juice before I want to look at another human. But I am an early riser.
    By 30 I was working at a job that had me up and at work by 4am. It really wasn't too bad. No rush hour, the streets are quite, only the 'team;'of eight or so co-workers at work and I was out by 1pm.

    Of course I had to go to bed early as well.

    I'm not old, but I feel old.. does that count? If I get up from certain sitting positions, my muscles protest and my joints pop. My muscles also always feel like I need a constant stretch. Probably should fix that somehow.

    Well, probably a younger generation issue, but I no longer have the ability to enjoy spending countless hours playing video games or sitting through tv marathons...I'm broken (just not any fun anymore)

    I use the restroom a million times a day and I feel so fatigued all the time. :s

    Here is my old person list:

    For aches/pain: TENS Device, Heating Pad and ice packs and Ibuprofen
    Readers.. in every room, car and purse
    Fans in every room

    I have 2 TENS devices, a small one with 2 electrodes and and larger one with 8 electrodes and 10 settings that I can crank up to "11" (showing my age here).

    No, video games lost their charm after they stopped making the 2600. :lol:

    I'm just tired all the time. I'm boring. Too tired for fun stuff. Sometimes don't have time because I work a lot. As I grow older I just complain a lot. :lol:

    I still listen to CD's in my car. I feel embarrassed about it though and so I scan the road to make sure no one is looking before I insert/eject those relics 🙄. Even worse, they're usually burned CD-R's. Napster mixtapes lol.
    My car has a CD player but also has an AUX input. I purchased a MP3 player, put 1,600 songs on it and .... the damn thing more or less picks the same 45 songs.

    My mother's car... fancy... has a six CD player and a tape deck.

    ... Staying silent because the thing you want to say would have been funny when you were 21 but now it sounds like you are a creepy old guy.

    My massage therapist told me to just tuck a pillow under my knees when I sleep on my back and if I'm on my side, to have a pillow in between my legs. It helps a lot.

    That is very bad advice, you may get short term relief , causes long term problems, you will begin to find it hard to straighten your legs. Bed yoga is very good especially if you have a partner to help you stretch those limbs 😊

    What do people consider old? Is there a certain age where you are then old or still young and ages where you are teetering between the two?
