So you’re saying I have a chance?
sec

🤣
Till we die Boo.

My brother had his wedding in Lincoln City about 25 years ago and we did the whole Bonfire thing as well. :thumb:

I've given you so much material to work with and you pay me back like this?

:D

You're a damn REP miser! :LOL:

I turn 50 in August. Rationally, I'm way past the halfway point now. But man, I don't feel "middle aged" AT ALL.

I don't read CP on a computer very often anymore.
Or drink.

I'll make it up to you. But you'll have to promise to keep my password and scrub my account when I'm dead. Some of these reps from 20 yr old Mer are. Um. Questionable material.

A lot of my body is old age and in need of repair.
My brain is still immature.
My soul is timeless.
My heart is strong.
My liver is well preserved.
My ass is a virgin.
My weiner is still young and ambitious.

So far today after waking up, blasting off a quick round and getting up at 5:03am:

1. Took my 4 pills
2. Had 2 cups of Chai tea and a My Father La Opulencia cigar
3. Took a shit
4. Did my morning walk around the community
5. Grabbed my cell phone, read and posted on CP
6. Checked out the stock market
7. Logged onto my computer for work.

This has been a very busy morning so far for an old person.

I might be ready for a nap. :ZZZ:

Got up at 830
Took 6 pills
Took vitamins
Took a shit
Walked 1.5 miles
Took another shit
Showered
Fed the dog
Took blood pressure
Wrote in journal
Thinking about taking another shit

sec

All before 11am

Metamucil or Bran Flakes?

Some kind of prescription powder that you mix with water.
On top of the cancer I’ve got diverticulitis :mad:
I’m going to stop taking two of the antibiotics today and save the last 3 days worth in case of a flare up later. These ****ers are worse than the pain.
sec

Holy shit - I hope you are winning the battle. I don't feel so bad now about my gout, ulnar nerve entrapment / surgery or fatty liver.

You are definitely a cheapskate with the rep.:rolleyes:

When I was a teenager everyone over 55 was the same to me. I had no idea how to differentiate who was what degree of old after that.

And I also could not figure out if someone was 29 or 40. Now I can't figure out who is 12 or 25. No clue. They all look 15 to me.

Got up at 6 AM to pee/poop
Fixed breakfast of 2 eggs over easy and 2 pieces of dry toast wit a cup of Orange Cinnamon tea
Took my 4 pills
Took my Vitamin D pill I take once a week
Stripped the bed, put it in the wash and the dryer the remade the bed.
Cleaned the toilet/bathroom
Put in a load of wash
Went for a morning walk around the lake in our neighborhood (more of an oversized retention pond)
Shaved and showered
Took another pee
Chewed 2 tums (Doctor ordered daily)
Fixed lunch for my son and I
Got clothes from dryer and folded them-then the put in a second load.
Took my son to get a haircut...he was starting to look like one of the Duck Dynasty clan

Took my afternoon nap for an hour at 3 pm...after I took another pee.

Now fixing dinner...Hamburgers, fries and pasta salad.

We are going to have a night of Guy movies...the wife is returning after 3 weeks of being in KC for her Mom's last few weeks here on Earth. (I loved her like she was my own Mom)

Got up at 6 am
Ate a bowl of raisin bran with 2% milk
2 cups of English breakfast hot tea
1 banana
Took my meds, low dose aspirin, my statin and a couple of other drugs that I can't remember what the heck they do. Took 2 multivitamins.
Rode my bicycle 36 miles, 14.5 mph average speed
Came home, ate lunch, 2 steak quesadillas
Went out an went around the boundary of my 1.2 acre lot with the weed eater
Took a shower, plopped down in front of the computer and did some work.
Now watching some USFL football, only because there is nothing else on

Tomorrow I will rinse and repeat the process except substitute in a 43 mile bicycle ride

I'm 53.

I regularly ride a bike and Like to do a lot of work on my house.

I go up in the attic quite a bit to get stuff or work on electrical or other projects.

The past two years every time I go up there I'd throw out my back. From walking around bent over cuz it's only about 5 feet high up there.

I started doing 20 minutes of core exercises each morning while listening to music. Basic back-saving crunches, bridges, pointing dogs, and some stretches.

Made a HUGE difference. Getting started was tough, once I got a few days in, It was just part of the morning stuff. I recommend it.

I’m actually pretty limber I can still bend over and touch my knees

I remember when I could bend over. Those were the good ol days

Something I picked up from my 92 year old doctor. The good thing about getting old is, it doesn't last long.
JC

Got up at 5:17am.

Took my 4 pills

Surfed the web including CP and played my online games

Back to work.
Home to make dinner by 7.
Back to work.
Home to fix emotional traumas and boo boos by 10.
Yell at you people until 12.
Fall asleep.
6 days a week.

How do you escape it all on day 7?

I get up at 4 to get high and be silent for an hour. Then instead of work, I have breakfast, lunch, mid day snack dinner, wheres desert, activities and entertainment responsibilities. In between we give motivational seminars on cleaning our ****ing room. Orienteering exercises when we can't find our shit. Leadership exercises when we're full of attitude. At some point someone is going to get the big titted blonde speech and someone else will get the monk speech. Then we have roller derby and gymnastics and parkour and who the **** knows what will happen in the stores that day.

And then the dog will want to go for a run. And someone here will accuse me of being high.

I'd love to function after only 4 hours of sleep on a daily basis. I shoot for ~7.5-8... a few days in a row of 6-7 or less and my brain starts having brownouts.

Maybe the brownouts are a portal to another realm, and you can only reach it by breaking through a sleep barrier in your brain. Sleep is an artificially introduced phenomenon by the aliens to keep your brain from traveling through the portal.

I may need more sleep to process this...


....or maybe that's what the aliens want?!?

My body refuses at this point.
But I get it.
I had years of being a stay at home mom.
Life is nothing if not circular.

I turn 60 June 5th. My complaints? ASSHOLES who finger **** their phones while driving! WTF? Put the GODDAMN phone down while at the wheel!

Still healthy, do yard work, enjoy my job and do it with confidence. Feel good and still do honey do's with no regrets. Still grocery shop and tend to the bills as well as vehicle maintenance. Just because I am 60 does not mean life is over. Yes, I am still a HEAVY METAL fan and crank my shit UP on the weekends when I can! I may be old but, I still ROCK :thumb:

Recently bought a PS5 - added 2TB internal HDD and added an external 5TB drive for PS4 games. Changed white plates out for black. Yeah, still kicking it! You only get old if you let yourself get that way.

Old school metal or modern?

Oh OLD SCHOOL! of course! METAL RULES the LAND! :rockon::rockon:

Priest, Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Ozzy, Accept, Motley Crue, Metallica, Dio, Megadeth, Pantera, Raven, AC/DC, Krokus, Manowar, love Airbourne, Volbeat - etc.

🍻

Can't see what that is but here is a few more for you...

Scorpions, Icon, Malice, Rammstein, Amon Amarth :thumb:

Yeah it came out really small it’s supposed to be cheers. Nice list I would add Motörhead, Saxon, Armored Saint, Clutch, Black Label Society, Wasp, Rainbow, Montrose, Skidrow and Slayer

That's a hell of a schedule for anyone, of any age.

Don't die working.

I fart way more than I used to…

My first vote was to approve Jackson county bonds to build Arrowhead. Following the Chiefs for 60 years has become a passion, so much so that my children have learned that the best time to make a request is after a Chiefs victory. Through the the disappointing years and seeing them become the greatest NFL team has been an incredible ride. Feeling that the Chiefs will remain outstanding for whatever few years I have left is a blessing.

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Your fart-count will drop in half once your hearing goes.

It helps with propulsion. Think nitrous for geezers

I have barn swallows building a nest over the door where my mud room goes into my garage. Been sweeping the ****ing steps for 2 days before I looked up.
I hate myself.
sec

Is there probing involved?

Great point

Attack dive bombing lil bastards.

I love my barn swallows. They are bug eating machines! Of course that is followed by cra**ing machines. Gotta take the bad with the good. I prefer no bugs out here in the country.

Stay awake and find out.

I wonder how long we'll use the phrase "hang the phone up". 99 percent of the population does not actually "hang up" their phone, and I bet 50 percent have never done so. Will the phrase survive forever due to habit, or at some point will a more accurate phrase take over?

I'm a human gas machine. :doh!:

I beat you by one day! ROFL

Geminis rock!

YES! Of course! :clap:

Of course they do! :thumb: You get 2 men in one!

Yes, I love your choices! Count me in! LOVE the new Saxon - The Pilgrimage

I did something this weekend for the first time in my life at close to 60 years old: I gave myself a complete haircut using one of those men's grooming kits.

I was nervous as hell thinking I was going to hack out a huge patch of hair somewhere in the back of my head in error. By using one of the plastic guide attachments I was able to control the depth and not **** it up. Even trimmed up my neck with just the razor part minus the attachment.

I had let my hair go wild and it was a long, stringy mess that made me look like a cross between a crazed Nick Nolte and Larry of the Three Stooges.

When I was done, cleaned up all the hair and flushed it down the toilet, I jumped in the shower.

I was shocked how great it came out. Better than some haircuts I got in the past including a butchering I took one time at Supercuts.

I'm pretty sure only old people do this and then brag that they saved $30 bucks.

Reminds me a lot of Crusader, of of my favorites from them.

Ok, check this...

Catheter

Y'all should check out Edguy, their album Hellfire Club is one of those you can listen through and have no bad songs. Reminds me of Iron Maiden tbh.

Speaking of Iron Maiden, check out Cradle of Filth's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name.

I have a minor set back not going into details but catheters suck.


Other bight side you van binge watch your favorite Netflix show and an not miss a beat. You can go out for drinks and not waste valuable time going to the bathroom.

Well my wife is 8 years younger than me so she still rocks! She is 52 and fine as wine! Kids are all gone so it is just her and I :thumb:

The singer does sound a lot like Bruce Dickinson. I do like them.

My wife is still hot as hell... We do it every Sunday nite...:D

[QUOTE=Kman34;16906296]My wife is still hot as hell... We do it every Sunday nite...:D[/QUOTE.
We used to do it all the time nowadays I’m lucky if I get it twice a day.

I haven't paid for a haircut in 25 years.

❤️ This is only while they're young. I don't like my kids thinking i like working more than i like momming. I really don't.

Letting you all know I turned 60 yesterday.
People always tell me "you haven't changed appearance a bit". Well I have looked 60 years old since I was 23.

Photos or it didn't happen. Videos would be acceptable as well. :LOL:

I'll hang up and listen

Crosses Fingers.

It's officially the offseason! What excuses are you old fogies that can no longer please your women going to come up with to avoid spending time with them on Sundays now that the season is over? I need ideas for a friend...

Sounds like your friend should be a Broncos fan.

I'm divorced - so I don't really have a dog in the fight - but for the other divorced guys I highly recommend just hiring a prostitute who also cleans and cooks. Thus far it has worked out well and is much cheaper and less stressful than actually dating.

You're not doing it right.

The expression is going to be with us forever. Like with, sunrise and sunset, once something gets to be standard usage, it likely will stay in use even if it no longer describes reality as it is known. Copernicus described the solar system in 1516, so we've known for over 600 years that the sun neither rises or sets, yet we still use those terms.

Guess I missed this thread last year, or maybe at 73 I didn't feel it pertained to me. LMAO

I have nothing to complain about, just like a machine that wears out, so does the body.

My Sole F63 treadmill is at the top of my possession favorite list and do at least a half hour on it every morning after breakfast, which consists of one piece of turkey bacon and a half cup of egg beaters.

Both my Cardiologist and GP told me on the most recent visit to keep up whatever I am doing. I am on no prescription drugs but do take supplements.

Been logging my diet on "Lose it" for 754 days in a row and have lost 38 lbs. that makes it so much easier on my old knees and hips.

Alcohol is a daily battle and is so much easier fought out here 9 crazy miles from the nearest source to buy any.

Enjoying the Chiefs success the last few years has been something beyond any expectations I could have ever dreamed of.

Seeing a lot of what is going on in this world makes me glad we don't live forever.

I received a new pillow as a gift a few days ago and it has changed my life.

Does this mean I'm old now?

Depends on whether you wear Depends or not.
