Being poor kept me away from the drugs when I was young.
Have a heartfelt happy birthday from me and a big hug. Just because. :)
“Now I wake up every two to three hours.”
I blame that on years of being forced to by kids & dogs & wife, the 5 of which only need stir enough to get my attention _once_each_ to fracture my night into 6 separate sleeping periods of little more than an hour each. And that’s on a _good_ night. Never mind that I start the process by going to bed too late just because that’s the only hour or so this introvert can be alone without interruption. Then m’lady wakes around 5 to start getting ready for work, a process not conducive to a sleeping introvert.
Upshot is I’ve pretty much given up on “sleep”, and don’t expect to experience a straight 8 hours thereof for years to come, if ever again.
A little Fibonacci humor...
Well whadda ya know, I found my hammer......thanks.
you're not even done maturing yet...Our 52 year old son and his nearly that old wife just gave birth to our 6th AND 7th grandchildren...all the others are late teens but the new twins ...boy and girl are his first. It would be impossible for more joy to have come into our lives (we are WELL into our 70's!!!)
I guess we have a consensus!
I’ve driven by that home. Very nice. So far out of my league that the groundskeeper’s house is beyond my means.
I bought my first Buick (used) in my mid 30s. And looking back, I wish I would have gotten into them many years before. Just bought my second Buick (used, but much “newer”) and love driving it every day. They move, but oh so comfortably. Compared to my son’s brand new Mazda, drove it off of the lot with only 18 miles on it, the Buick is a dream ride.
Buick’s are wasted on the retired.
Celebrated my 60th birthday earlier this year with a 15 mile hike. Planning on hiking the Narrows at Zion NP this summer.
It now takes me all night to do what I once could do all night.
I got a chuckle out of reading this, as I am a bit over the hill myself and have a birthday coming up in 10 days. With both of my parents gone I don’t feel like celebrating birthdays anymore. Physically I’m in pretty good shape but I can relate to some of the things on the list. Just trying to make the best use of the time I have.
“My neighborhood” as in Los Feliz”. I wish I lived in a home like that.
He bought it over $5 mil and has listed it at $6.8 mil so he has done something right.
The house he has bought to replace it is also in Los Feliz around $2.8, so where is the money going?
“I now look at young people that want to be trendy, and are slaves to pop culture, as being complete wastes of space, instead of just being goofy.”
Ditto.
Good stuff.
