Maybe 15mph on the 4x4 ATV really is good enough

Maybe this belongs on the confessions thread or maybe here due to age but I’m totally lost on the last two posts.

Get home from work, go for a mile and half walk with Wifey, then hit the rower for 40 minutes, then the bike trainer for 25 minutes, then have dinner. Used to be a snap. Now I'm wiped and my feet hurt like hell.

Getting old sux. But as always, it beats the alternative.

Get off my lawn, kid! When you get to be my age, you are so winded by the 15-foot walk to your car that you need to take a nap before driving.....

Starting life by being raised from the grave, most likely with memory loss and uncontrollable bowels, while progressively getting younger and younger until you end up with memory loss and uncontrollable bowels only to be shoved back inside your mother?


The alternative does sound way worse.

True. Perhaps I should have said "the other option."

Giving up early? Yeah the other option sucks as well. Guess we'll have to stick with getting older.

My new nurse checking my blood (INR levels) is younger than my twin girls

My twin girls: I see them still scraping the middle out of Oreos to use a spread for toast and mixing 2 Gatorade flavors for their custom concoction

Purple sports drink, sugar spread on whole wheat bread (breakfast) before field hockey 🏑 🥤

"Die young, stay pretty

Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are you living alone or with your family?
A dried up twig on your family tree?
Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth
So, die young and stay pretty

Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream

Oh, you sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were you waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth
So live fast 'cause it won't last

Die young, stay pretty

Dearly near senility (dearly near senility)
Was it good or maybe you won't tell?

Die young, stay pretty"

Just started bing watching Halt and Catch Fire on Netflix. Taking a liking to Donna (Kerry Bishé) so I googled her to se what other shows shes on and thinking she was close to my age....born May 1, 1984. Many more shows that I thought...but more surprising, shes 10yrs younger than me.

Never been pretty, so that option is out.

Had those in high school. Huge typewriter-like terminals in our school connected to the mainframe in the town's other high school. You'd drag the tape through the reader and pray that it didn't rip.

Why would a dealer want to see your ID? How old are you child?
