Anyone have a line on a good set of arm extenders? Damn menus, books and whatnot are printed in smaller type these days to save money

 

[Skipdog77]

Not sure about anyone else, but anymore when I look at a new picture of myself that someone has taken, my first thought is whether it will be a good one for my funeral or not.

Well that’s pretty dark.

Well, I just want to be prepared. Don't want to be looking like a dork in the slideshow, ya know.

You're dead and still caring what others think?

Afterlife, yo.

Old guy trauma this morning: strained my back a bit cutting my toenails.

Going to need to start using pruning shears soon because those things are beginning to resemble velociraptor claws.

I've noticed this too. Actually worried I have something wrong I need to worry about.

I think I broke or fractured my pinky toe while dancing saturday night.

They have this new fangled invention that acts like a magnifying glass when you put them over your eyes. They are like sunglasses but don't look as cool but they do help with that small print. Also, can't those restaurants turn up the lights a bit? That would help too.

ETA: Every once in awhile I have to go delete a bunch of menu pictures off my phone because of this situation.

I outsource this problem to the nice Chinese ladies who do pedicures at a place in my neighborhood. I go with my wife every 3-4 months.

I'm golfing tomorrow, I fully expect to be laid up for a week or two after

The real question is which will be more? Balls lost or Beers drunk?

Typically it would be close to a one-for-one ratio given the current state of my game but the course is about an hour away so in this case I'm fairly certain the balls lost will far outweigh the number of beers drunk.

Well, once you are "Over 50", you are in it for life.

What the heck are you doin' 'dancing' on a saturday night? So many questions, but the most pressing one is when do you do your laundry?

Some benefit to getting old though - when they ask you out of the blue if you're a senior and you get discounts you weren't expecting

And where is this dance club that plays The Humpty Dance?

 

[Yambag]

Pulled a muscle in my chest after sneezing this past weekend. Simultaneously ridiculous, sad and humbling.

I don't understand the people that get offended when they are asked.

I like discounts more than my vanity.

It was an industrial / goth dance party...I had to go. I do my laundry while working from home during the week.

Over 50 means that soreness in your back could be a pinched nerve, muscle irritation or a potential tumor growing.

Went to sleep at 9:30 pm.
Woke up having to pee at 1:30 am.
Wife punched me for snoring at 2:30 am.
Woke up with heartburn at 3:30. Been up ever since.
Did my back exercises, then enjoyed coffee and breakfast while checking fantasy results and doing Wordle, Connections, Sports Connections, doom scrolling on Instagram, Facebook, and news updates.
Wife is still mad at me for snoring.
Got to work at 8 am and all I can think about is sleep.

I assume this isn't the first time you have snored. It's probably a nightly occurrence. Seems like she shouldn't be mad at you for that long. It should be common and expected.

The punching is new. She's going through her own stuff now that she's in her 50s. Sometimes, she lashes out at me for breathing.

Wife will be 50 on the 29th and she admits things are changing. She's like an oven in bed. More hot than usual. Can't sleep. Up at all hours of the night.
She apologizes constantly though I don't think it's been too bad.
