I think he looks pretty good for almost 71.

Well played sir.

My Grandad used to say you know you're getting old when policemen look like kids.

Gravdigr · 04-20-2018, 12:47 PM

Well, shit.

lumberjim · 04-23-2018, 11:56 AM

know how I know you're old?

you take your shoes off an put slippers on when you come inside

you have reading glasses in every room of the house

You listen to ColdPlay

monster · 04-23-2018, 07:36 PM

I literally don't do any of those things. I must still be totally a teenager! sick.

monster · 04-23-2018, 07:38 PM

...or maybe I don't do them because I can't remember where I live and so never go inside? :/ :p

lumberjim · 04-24-2018, 02:38 AM

You know how I know you're old?

You have a pill organizer

You get excited when it's clean sheet night

You don't care if someone is wrong on the internet.

I don't have a pill organizer ...but I do now take 9 supplement tablets every weekday morning (7 different supplements). I tip them out and shove them in my left pocket while I make tea, then when I get to work I take them with said tea while I process the morning price changes and sales etc. (The buttered toast goes in the right pocket) I put the tablets in a sample cup (deli sample not pee sample) when I get to work.

I do keep all 7 bottles of pills in a plastic shoebox on top of the bread bin. Does that count as an organizer?

(How I know I'm really old ... all the supplements are fucked-up-joints related (the bodily kind, no spiky leaves). Except the potassium for night cramps -which really fucking works, people)

I do sleep better on clean sheets, but I don't get excited because that means I have to change the bed and wash sheets.

Ah. The last one. A toughie. I have learned to be OK with people being wrong by following the advice I made up and gave to Thor (who has problems with people being wrong)....

It's OK for people to be wrong and not know it, as long as their being wrong isn't putting anyone in immediate physical danger.

Oh shit, I'm ancient.

DanaC · 04-24-2018, 04:30 PM

Yeah - I relate to a frightening percentage of that list :P

lumberjim · 04-24-2018, 04:31 PM

with exception of the Cold Play line, these are all based on my reality.

Mr. Clod is getting LASIK tomorrow because he was already nearsighted when the reading glasses phase kicked in, and the progressive lenses gave him constant headaches even though he tried for six months to get used to them. So now he's correcting the nearsightedness so he can drop back down to just one type of glasses again.
