Gettin' old sucks...

That's the amazing thing eh...they don't know any better so they do just get on with stuff.

I'm getting old and weak and blind and saggy and all those other things too...and yup it does suck...oh the power and beauty of my youth has passed and I missed it and probably never quite fully appreciated it either..oh well such is life eh?

New a size to small leathers will help briefly,that and a spare couple of hours to pour youself into em,does wonders for the soul,sadly the tummy aches after a hour or 2 of such confinment.

At my age I prefer a comfy tum and I don't worry too much if I look like a big black round thing atop teh bike...

Same.When i get a week or 2 off i need to head out on the bike and find the huge portion of hair that has somehow blown of the top of my head in recent yearsthough it has indeed confirmed mothers early thoughts of "hes my little angel".

Bugger, I forgot the stomach, what's up with that! I don't think I eat much, I exercise regularly, I hardly drink, yet I can sit there contemplating life and the lotto and I can literally watch my bloody belly grow in front of my eyes!

I bought a brand new pair of leathers earlier this year, the first proper pair of leather trousers I've ever owned, I was so pleased with them. A couple of months down the road and I just cannot get them on. Leather never used to shrink form what I remember therefore I have turned into a fat bastard whilst asleep,

It simply isn't fair and I blame ACC, I wasn't fat before they proposed the increases, BASTARDS!

Was back to the optometrist yesterday. Sept. last year I was forced to get some proper reading glasses as the $10 Warehouse jobbies weren't good enough anymore.

$430 later I came away with proper specs and knowing I had an astigmatism and catarracts.

My eyesight has been bothering me again lately and even my distance vision has not been as good and my night vision for driving is not too sharp now either.

$640 later, I now pick up my new specs on Thursday, bi-focals, so I have to wear glasses now for distance as well as reading and my eyesight has deteriorated.
I used to have such good eyesight that an optometrist once offered to swap both his good eyes for my "bad" eye!

Spending too much time on computers me thinks!! Stay away from KB! I got my distance glasses from specsavers for $139 - $60 for the eyetest and $79 for the glasses - just the absolute basics as i only wear them riding the motorbike (especially at night) and watching rugby.

You know you're getting old when you go to brush the hair out ya eyes ....... and it's ya eyebrows !!!

The first time the hair dresser trimmed my ear hair was a shock - shit I'm getting old and hair is growing out of every orifice - but getting thinner on top.

I remind myself I'm getting older every time I hear myself saying all those annoying things my dad use to say to me, and people say I have more patience now days, but actually I just don't care anymore.
Getting older also means;
when I'm on holiday I tend to run out of energy before I run out of money
I don't bother trying to hold my stomach in anymore no matter who walks in the room
I'm really proud of my lawn mower, and how easy it is to start - it's funny how age changes your perspective on things - velcro is becoming cool

Age is a crazy thng...it gets us all in the end.....Sometimes old age is a good thng....Take my nana for example, She is 97 years old, physically fit, Still has an amazing head of hair but sadly the mind has long gone BUT she lives everyday in her own little world be it today or 50 years ago and she's still smiling

Yeah, I work on a computer all day. I got them specially coated for this type of work and it made a huge difference!

I thought about SpecSavers and cost, but my local Optometrist is a sweety and very caring...She fusses over me and reassures me... Me a softy...? (I know, I'm hard-nosed businessman... My wife calls me Snowtex).

I totally agree with you! LOL!!!

The nice thing about going senile is that you get to do new things every day and meet lovely new people... My wife and I are constantly laughing at each other's absent-mindedness.

I think it's a conspiracy...
