Old People Thread

[kozzman555]

Hello old people of CP! Do you ever think about wanting to talk about problems you and other old people have? Is this football forum the only place on the internet you know how to get to? Well look no further! This old man thread is here for you to talk about your trials and tribulations.

Have an itch to complain about how the young generation doesn't know what hard work is? Post it in here! Are there some birds that need yelled or do you have neighbors that play music too loud? We'd love to hear about it! Did you fill your diapers and want to complain about the poor quality of Chinese products? Please regale us!

So if you can barely see letters in this thread without zooming in, but refuse to give up your drivers license, we'd love to read what you have to tell us! Come on in, bring your Werther's candy, and folksy tales of how things used to be!

There are a lot of factors in that question but I'll ask just a couple of the basics.

• Did you watch the live broadcast of Neil Armstrong stepping onto the moon?
• Can you sleep through the night without having to take a piss with no medication?

Print a copy for your files, too.

I am looking forward for the seniors 50 year old+ poker tournaments. They will be so soft...I guess less soft by the time I get there in over a decade

Do you moan when you stand up or sit down?

Are you fine one minute and the next minute have to pee like there is not tomorrow?

FAX?!? I thought you young fellers were supposed to be banned from this thread. You need to hop on your printing press and send it to your friend by carrier pigeon. The Pony Express is also acceptable.

I had to poop...
Walked to the pantry. Forgot why I went to the pantry.
Remembered I had to poop.
Sitting on the toilet remembered why I went to the pantry...����

IMHO you're only showing early stages. You know when you are old when you find solutions to losing things. Like 12 pairs of glasses or never taking your keys out of the car so you know where you'll find them.

My CPAP stopped that for me. I quit waking up, so I quit having to pee.

A couple of nights ago I wandered the ten feet from my den to the bathroom and then just stood there. I didn't need to go, and I couldn't remember why I got up in the first place. After a minute, I just returned to the den and sat back down.

If that's not old people thread material, I don't know what is.

Anyone have any good remedies for Essential/Intention Tremors? One day, about eight years ago, I picked a pen to write a check and simply couldn't write readable handwriting. It's progressed to where using a mouse is difficult although I can still type and use a touchpad without issue. If I have a couple of drinks, it gets better although it's worse the next day.

Very frustrating; can't really work on electronics, play table tennis and my golf game has really suffered.

My grandfather had palsy and resting tremors; that hasn't happened yet. They say getting old isn't for sissies; they're wrong, it's for all of us...

Reading glasses thing is real. Costco sells in packs of 6.

Car keys thing is a mess now that we get fobs and button to mash.

Had a friend years ago that broke the key off and shoved into ignition in all his cars. You could look in the car and not see key was in. Never lost a key either.
