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!

Man, get to the Dr and get an upper GI scope.

A 22 year old kid locally died from one. I'm not sure what all else was going on (read: drugs) but that's what killed her.

Take care of yourself my man.

Removed? Get some Flowmax, drink enough cranberry juice to kill a horse, and pass that thing. I've had three of them in my lifetime and the pain is the worst I have ever experienced.

Having said all that, sometimes I get a sore muscle or two when I feel like I didn't really do much. I think as we age, healthy eating becomes paramount to looking and feeling young. Plus, I stlll act like I'm 18, LOL

When's the last time you choked out some asshole at a little league game?

I knew I was old whenever I stopped recognizing songs on the "old school lunch hour" that played old school hip-hop.

I just realized that the radio station I listen to now would be considered an "oldies" station to my son. I remember when the 50s-60s were considered oldies.

I'm turning 55 in a couple weeks. I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands and knees, but refuse to take any medication. I just don't want to fall down the pharmaceutical wormhole like my parents/grandparents did. Right now I control the pain with diet and thc which seems to be working sofar.

QFT. 101 the Fox in KC is "KC's Classic Rock Station." When I was a teenager they played all the cool shit from the 70's. Now they still play that but also play quite a bit of stuff from when I was a teenager in the 80's. I feel "classic"

I find it amazing. When I was a kid my parents were listening to big bands and shit from the 40's. I never listened to that when I grew up. But my kids (and grandkids now) still listen to the same stuff I did from the 70's and 80's. But don't ask me about anything out in the last 20 years, I won't have a clue.

Failing eyesight and hearing, tinnitus sucks big time, are the both the worst parts and the best parts of getting old.

Don't insult 45-50 year olds. The only way Clay looked that good is if those 45-50 year olds were waiting for hip replacements.

75% would make 57.96 moving into old age

> 77.28 would be old
