Turned 50 this past spring, had my first colonoscopy a couple of weeks ago....lost 5 lbs, hello more fiber
I got divorced at 37. Dating scared the piss out of me. There was no Tinder, but my friends pimped me out hard. One couple set me up with this little 24 yr old hottie who was a dental hygienist. Conversation was painful to say the least. I found that any date with anyone under 30 was challenging. Eventually found my wife who is 8 yrs younger.
hot dental hygienists are the best...it's really hard not to cringe when you nail a perfect quote from an 80's movie and these bitches in their early 20's just stare at you blankly
I spent the weekend at my parents place for the holiday. My mom is using it to store crayons for the grandkids.
Just got back from my PCP, looks like Imma gonna have some nerve conductivity tests done on my feet. He suspects neuropathy....hooray
Going to the Guns N Roses concert later this month. On the advice of my physician I'll be wearing ear protection.
Saw them last Wednesday. Ears were surprisingly not ringing the next day. Great show. Steven Adler even sat in for a couple songs. And they played for damned near three hours. Old people gettin it.
Its a late complication iirc so you'd have had other symptoms long before think my dads is from the tons of back surgery/issues he's had,
My kids are vaguely aware that cable TV used to have about 20 channels and most shows were on one of three networks. Tonight, I had to explain that those networks used to stop broadcasting at 1:00 AM, you got the national anthem, and then the screen went to a still shot of the flag until morning. It was like I was telling a horror story around the campfire, jaws dropped in a mixture of disbelief and terror.
12" B&W TVs that weighed 80lbs. Color TV? get a mover. just remembered how TVs and stereos were big furniture items. We had a huge tv/record player/radio. Thing was the size of a buffet. Then the 8 tracks and cassettes came along. couldn't rewind 8 track. There was a FF button, but you were likely to immediately ruin the 8 track if you used it. Zenith was the shit
My grandfather owned a TV/radio store in the 1950's and early 1960's. He repaired old TVs into the 1980's. He had a separate garage that was a free standing building next to their house that was a TV museum of old parts/TVs/picture tubes.
Partied like a 25 year old in Austin for the ND game that Saturday. Drank water for 12 hours on Sunday. I can no longer drink pineapple juice after 20+ Tito's and pineapple.
haven't had booze since i was 39. I'm thinking if I go to colorado I might try some easy going marijuana brownies. of course, I'm afraid I might try to eat my own face, but maybe I'll do it. I can do without the buzz and being fucked up. I just want to relax, but I don't want to rely on xanax and vicodin...which are lovely but deadly. Anyway, wat?
I came in here to post something....now I can't remember what it was. Just turned 43. Shoulder, knee, and ankle issues. Voltatin and my three food groups of Advil, Aleve and T3's keep me kinda moving
My 15 yr old had an upgrade available on his phone and he decided to go with an iPhone this time. He was setting up the email and when the options came up, one of them was AOL. He asked, "What is AOL?" I went through the whole story with the 700 minute disks, etc. He just stood there open mouthed and then busted out laughing.
Drank for 21/29 hours over the weekend for the FSU/Ville weekend w/ friends. Think it was approx 30-36 oz of bourbon on the rocks. Stopped at 5am Sat, woke up for the game at 7am to go tailgating. Could not bring myself to start back up again and stayed in that night. Think I'm just getting over that hangover.
So many AOL cd throwing fights with my brother when we were kids. We'd stockpile those bitches and then just have at it.
42 and my body feels 60 but I still try to perform like I'm 21. Not a good combo. Aleve is your friend.
Hello fellow old farts. I'll be 41 soon. I was at my brother's bachelor party this weekend. We got there Friday afternoon, had a few beers, cruised around the woods on the ATVs and made a bunch of stuff go bang. Then I went to bet at 8:30 (PM, not AM). It was the first time in years I'd been able to sleep without getting woken up by kids or the wife. It was glorious. Saturday night was not so glorious. My underwear now hang 20 feet in the air from the façade of a bar in southern Wisconsin. I'm still hung over.
My daughters are 4 & 7, which puts me right at 58 when the youngest graduates from college. Wife (who is 10 years younger than me) has had sporadic impulses to have a third, but I think I'm pushing my luck trying to stay alive past 60, so I'm gonna make an appointment this week to go get snipped.
I have five. We don't let them gather too long. Don't need the workers getting any ideas of creating a union.
Had that same box on our TV when I about 10. Thought it was the greatest thing. Watched a bunch of scrambled HBO after midnight trying to catch a nipple on that box.
44 next week. Celebrating with a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest. Then a liver transplant when I get back.
My wife asked my daughter to grab the "cordless" phone this morning. This prompted my daughter to ask, aren't all phones cordless? We then explained having to stay within five feet of a landline to talk. I then told her that her kids would wonder what is a landline.
