How Did You Know You're Getting Older?

  1. Haven't had hair for 15 years
  2. beard is mostly gray
  3. Someone on here called me a boomer :lmao:
  4. I read books about submarines, WWII, late 1800's/early 1900's mining
  5. Just in the last 6 months I started moving my phone/books for focus (I need readers)
  6. I make old noises when i stand up both verbally and non-verbally
  7. Kids in their 20's tilt their head like my GSD when i tell them things
  8. Sat up till 2:30 AM with college roommate Friday drinking and legit thought I was going to die for the next 2 days
  9. We don't start movie's or TV shows after 7 PM because it's "late"
  10. I'd rather weed my garden than any social activities involving people
 
Well I went to a concert last night and when the band came out I looked at my buddy and said "fuck they are old"! Then I saw a person in a free palestine shirt and turned the other cheek. Now this morning I felt like ass and I only had a few beers last night.

More hair grows in my nose and ears than on my head

I used a nose/ear wax kit for the first time the other day and I can say it is pure aging satisfaction. The nose and ear hairs were getting out of control and it really does not hurt as much as you might think. Make no mistake, it is not a pleasant experience but I can live with it every 4 to 6 weeks or so

Youngster? Thanks. I've not heard that in many years. Well to some I might be but I'm 57 and yes, I clip mine at least once a week to keep the damn things from hitting my eye lashes. :laughing:

Yah me too. It's bullshit! I've hair growing everywhere but none on top. Lol. 50 years on the globe. So I guess old timer, keep it high and tight. Lol
 
But seriously though, I notice more and more names that I recognize in the obituaries. That hits hard, knowing that the people I know, who are generally around my age, are kicking the bucket.
Also on the lighter side, I seem to have more people every day telling me I should retire because they did and are having the time of their lives

How deep into the ears does that thing go? I have a rotary trimmer for my beak but my ears are pretty hairy down inside. My GP told me I have "an abundance of ear hair" and I'd like to brush hog the excess out if possible.

I was in supercuts getting a haircut and the lady asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed. Guy from across the way shouted out "dont do it, your a man. We have to hold on to a little bit of dignity

Many years ago I went to a Philippino barber. He trimmed ears, nose and brows. And gave you a quick shoulder massage
Didn't ask just did it. That was when I still had hair on the top of my head. Now it's a pair of clippers and no.cost

Missed this. Add me to the list of people telling you to pull the ripcord if at all possible. I bailed a bit early (51) and have been having a ball. Word of caution: Plan to exercise if you don't already have that locked down. Somehow my regimen fell away with new endeavors and I can tell I need to get back to moving around a lot more.
Fuzzydog said:
Wait, are you saying that the hair will eventually start growing right out of the ear hole?!? :eek:

lol no idea. I only recall the otoscope(?) having the small oil-funnel looking attachment on it, and it going past what I consider safe with a qtip.

I always had really good eyesight, like could read street signs from a couple blocks away, could read books in low light, oncoming headlights didn't bother me, that sort of thing, and everyone said, "Well, when you turn 40 all that will change". I was fine at 40, fine at 41, fine up to 44 then bam, now I need cheaters, 1.0's but still needed them, now I'm at 1.75's and the ocular adjustment on my rifle scopes are nearly maxed out, I really should get contacts. Yesterday, I was setting up some wireless stuff with my AV receiver and the print is so small on the remote I had to put cheaters on to read what button was what, then take them off to see the onscreen display, then put them back on to read the .pdf on my phone, then take them off, lather rinse repeat. Pissed me off when I finally figured out the gear I have wouldn't do what I wanted it to do.

It really hit me when I first tried to shoot my Henry 22LR pump with iron sites. I always use scopes on most all my rifles and adjusted for my eyesight. Iron sites were a horrible experience and shocker to me.

I take photos of small print stuff and use it to zoom in on.

I’ve used readers for years then found out how bad my eyeballs were seeing distance during a CDL physical 👀 so I got my first pair of prescription glasses with auto tinting lenses in them. They’re progressive lenses and take a bit to get used too. I don’t like the looking through a fish bowel experience with them. I almost got bifocals but people talked me out of them. Not so sure I’ll do progressive lenses again. It’s hard to judge distance on some things and shit looks out of alignment like looking at 90* stuff.

Golden years my ass and I want my senior citizen discount dammit :laughing::flipoff2:

Ear hair is nature's bug screen dontcha know
Click to expand...
I agree, however I've needed irrigation due to excess bug screen affecting my equilibrium. So I figured I could cull the herd in there and let it grow back as needed. I can feel and almost hear the hairs churning around when I run my mouth (which is often in my house).

Now I'm gonna notice that all day. :homer:

My dad has been doing the "search out dead people" thing....was talking with him a week or two ago and he says "remember my driver so and so?" I'm like, no, why would I remember someone who worked for you 35 years ago? "Oh, well he died back in '07."
:homer:

That turned into a weird list of high school friends and ex co-workers who have kicked the bucket....It was odd...and that turned into "the house that was across the street from us in Eugene had a big oversized lot that we played baseball on, its been subdivided and theres 3 houses there now".....Dad moved to Portland in '69 :laughing:
