Things I've Noticed as I get Older.

[jonesfam]

First is the fact that my brain must be getting full. I know this is happening for 2 reasons, 1. It is pushing all my hair out to make more room. 2. I don't seem to be able to remember why I went into a room, so my brain must be full.
At some time (probably while I was asleep) someone has drawn a map of some very rough terrain on my face. There are gullies, valleys, lines & fault lines everywhere. Whoever did it did a good job.
Probably the same person seems to come in every night & put bags & dark marks under my eyes.
Speaking of eyes, why can I see things 5k away but not be able to read a book? It really annoys me I have to wear glasses to read especially when the brain full thing is there so I can't remember where I left them (usually around my neck on a cord).
They must make Jeans differently these days because they don't fit like they used to, or look as good.
Where did my bum go?
Why can't I lift 50kg sacks of potatoes any more?
Has any decent music, where they actually sing, been published since 2004?
I now prefer to drive well rather than fast. This is proven by the fact I have a Land Rover.
I don't understand kids & I still don't understand women.
I can't read Text messages unless written out in full with some punctuation.
Going back to women, why do they get more amorous as they get older & me less?
I no longer care how a computer or anything else works just so long as it does.
I drink probably more but get drunk less.
I don't know who most women's magazines are talking about on the cover.
It took me 18 months to cotton onto Paywave.
Comfortable shoes are more important than cool shoes.
I used to eat whatever I liked & & it didn't matter, now I have discovered a thing called Heart Burn & have to remember what NOT to eat. Not easy with a full brain.
I now have to sleep every night, what happened to 3 day parties?
Even though I have to sleep every night I can't sleep all night.
All my Rock & Roll hero's are either dead or old men.
I can't stand Reality TV. This strange as it must be very popular there is so much of it on.
Even though I can't see to read I love to read more than ever. Who decided it was a good idea to make it harder to read right when I want to read more.
Modern fashion just makes me laugh.
How I worry about money has changed, I used to worry about how I would eat on Friday, now I worry how I will live at all when I have to stop work.
Getting older does not worry me much at all but a lot of things sure do change as time catches up. When I was in my 20's I thought people in their 50's new all the answers, were wise, knew how to deal with crap, I have now discovered I am still not wise nor do I know all the answers & crap just keeps coming.
Here's to the journey of life.

We also reminisce more...:p

[ramblingboy42]

Do you remember writing this?

You pretty well covered everything.

Except.....why do you still try to understand women.....I gave that up a long time ago....I'm at peace.

[Ean Austral]

You forgot to add " it takes all night to do what you used to do all night"

I talk to men in there 70's And they still haven't worked women out, so what chance have I got.

Cheers Ean

Puling up your pants past your navel to scare your , now old kids, and thinking hmm that`s comfy. Bending over to pick some thing up and deciding to stay bent over till you work out how you are going to straighten up again. Realizing straining some joint or muscle now takes weeks, not days to heal.
Ah sooo many signs of getting old, just can`t remember them......:wheelchair:

[Ausfree]

Yep, and speaking of reminiscing..... when you talk about the old days its a case of "the older I get the better I was":p

[Chops]

Yep,,, that just about sums it all up.

[Gary S11]

Annoying that the hair I once had is gone, but the places I never had it, it now grows like crazy ?

[Discomark]

Don't knock this one as it is not universal!
"Going back to women, why do they get more amorous as they get older & me less?"
At least not in my experience :D

Crikey!!!:o Where do you find them!!!!

[RHS58]

Hmmm. I think we men slow down to adjust to the missus' level of amorousness (?), but forget to stop when we match it.
Nowadays when I go to bed, I prefer the nap.

[Cammo]

When you bend or crouch to pick something up, you find yourself looking for other things you can do down there before you get back up

[Grumbles]

Less patience and less tolerance or is that just grumpy old man syndrome.[Scowl emoticon].

Hummm,, I keep getting told, I'm just a grumpy old man,,,, **** em. :angel:

Why can't I lift 50kg sacks of potatoes any more?

That one isn't your fault.

It is a little known effect of climate change that gravity is getting heavier.

You have probably noticed that not only is a 50 kg sack of potatoes is a lot heavier than it used to be, but it takes a lot more effort now to climb hills and stairs.

That is just the heavier gravity caused by climate change.

There are those gravity deniers who don't believe that this is happening or that the science is settled, but I can assure from my own experience that gravity is now a lot heavier than it used to be.

:Rolling::Rolling: Luv it, and here I am thinking I was just getting old. You have taken a lot of worry off my mind!!!:p

When I was 19 even with 2 hands I couldn't bend my erection.
Now I'm 56, I can bend it really easily.
I must be getting stronger.

I have been looking for this for a long time now..... Undeniable evidence that climate change is real... thank you, up until now I have been sceptical but not any more

[Fifth Columnist]

At 71 I'm definitely a grumpy old man.
It's all anger at myself for not being able to do the things I used to find easy.
That, and an ability to lose things I had in my hand 30 seconds ago.
Then there's the aches and pains and remembering to take handsful of pills that are supposed to keep me being grumpy for many years more.....

You didn't use it as a slingshot then :D

Be careful you don't put a permanent 90 degree bend in it. Peeing up your own nose may get tiresome.

Unless of course, you play rugby league. ;)
