Aging dysfunctions...

[recycled sixtie]

These are mine. Look at my name to see how many yo I am...
They are as follows:

- Have to watch fat/cholesterol ingestion. No pills required if I watch this.
-Alcohol intake -can't take more than one a drink a day otherwise I feel crappy. Genetic disposition on my father's side.
-Can walk/hike no problem. Running hurts knees except on fresh snow.
- Growing intolerance for young fashion.
- Not a lot of patience. Have a slow fuse though.
- Hardly drink coffee but prefer tea but that is more of a taste thing.
- Can't pee that well - enlarged prostate.
- No tolerance for liars, crooks, aggressive people or folks with a sense of entitlement.

How about you?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

I have all of these except #1 and #2, and I'm not even 40 yet!

welcome aboard...also add low tolerance for folks who constantly brag about their "stuff". This because you've learned that the more "stuff" you have, the more stuff there is to take care of and that's become a PITA.

Look at the bright side. Not everything gets harder as you get older.

The only time I don't feel like I have to pee is when I'm peeing.
My knees are good, my hips suck, climbing stairs hurts.
I'm actually more tolerant of stupidity knowing that it will catch up with them someday.
I'm better with my money, because I have what I want and don't want much more.
Hot & spicey foods are a killer.
4 hour gigs are a killer.
Decided sex is more trouble than it's worth.
Zocor at dinner, aspirin before bedtime. Doctors orders.

When I was younger I had to place my dck under the fence rail so I wouldn't piss in my face, now at my age I have to place it over the fence rail so I don't piss on my shoes. (Told to me by an 87 y.o. man many years ago).

Lose stuff all the time. I don't get excited anymore, I know someday, I'll stumble onto it.......Almost to the point of taking notes when I leave things like keys, camera, phone, flashlight......

Once I was talking to my wife on the cell and she said I seemed distracted....I told her I was multi-tasking and looking for my cell phone while talking to her.....True story....

and here I thought only chicks shared way too much info.

As I near 30 I'm becoming blind as a bat and my memory is gone...at this rate I haven't got much time left. i lost my car keys a week ago and still haven't found them. I have to go through a mental checklist to make sure I didn't forget importasnt things, like a kid, when I go out.
I'm gunna blame it on the liberal media...

Ha ha.

My list:
- Have to keep my weight down and exercise up, or I go back on lipid and BP meds.
- Hair thinning and graying, despite best efforts.
- Lacking flexibility, but I think this is reversible and I'm going to work on it this year
- Pee more often and it takes longer, but after a couple weeks of holding a stopwatch as I pee'd, I've decided it is silly to be bothered by this - I mean, at least I'm not a woman
- shamefully drawn to skinny jeans, man card revocation threatened
- About to start the annual rectal probes

That's about it so far. In general, I feel better (physically, mentally) than I did ten years ago. But the hair thing bugs me . . .

I used to be sore as heck all the time and was getting a tad over weight. I took up Karate, which I did into my 20's but it had been 25+years, humbling starting as a white belt all over.

Now I'm still sore all the time, but I have better flexibly, strength, endurance and my weight is under control, plus I feel great.

Sorry no pics of me or the daughter.
Enjoy the day before it gets too old

I haven't been to an eye doctor since before I started college. 10 years of staring at computers screen later..I'm having trouble seeing while I'm driving. I should really get on that.
