One advantage. Experience no longer has anything to teach. Thank God.
And Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers is 52.
Now they just show longform videos shot on video and edited with a video visual sense.
Lower wattage light bulbs ("for the globalist environment, don't you know?") are also making it harder to read things that used to be legible.
Every time I decide to go get the mail, I usually end up somewhere else doing something else....That reminds me, I think I forgot to get the mail yesterday
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.
Maybe that’s not fair, but that’s what age does to you.
The older I get. The better I was.
Ah those were the Glory Days. If only I could have that young bod with my accumulated knowledge today,
But truthfully, I dont really miss them. Just like to look at old pictures of myself when I had hair.
I recently marked a particular anniversary of my birth. I won’t say my age but it’s a prime number multiplied by ten, older than 30 and not yet 70.

Well if you take 5 which is a prime number and multiple it by 10 you should get 50 (if you still do math in the old original way)
then add 16 (if you still add 2 + 2 and get 4) and you will have a total of 66..
Yes fellow FReeopers I too “recently marked a particular anniversary of my birth”. and 0.am not ashamed to say I just turned 66 on Wednesday, the 10th..

I can remember helping my dad run the projector at the old Diane29 theater.
I’d light the stick, wait for the dot to show up twice on the screen and switch projectors at just the right moment.
I remember the panic when the reel would stop or jam and melt the film.
I remember helping my dad cut the melted part out of the film and glue it back together.
Circa 1977 = 8 years old
The only thing my kids know about my love life is my devotion to my dearly departed wife.
They think they are little players with the ladies... they have no idea of the revolving door I had in my apartment in the early nineties.
I’d bring one in the front door and send one out the back. They wouldn’t believe me if I told them.
When my daughter was 17 she came in one day after driving home from her after school job. She was huffing and puffing, complaining about being stuck in traffic behind a little old lady going only 30 mph. She went on and on about old people this, and old people that, I finally got tired of listening to her. I told her, “Sweetheart, let me tell you something about old people, one of your goals in life is to become one.”
Check the freezer.
Wifey and I are 8 days apart in age, and we'll hit 68 in the spring......our idea of fine dining out is - you guessed it - the buffet.
St. Paul: “”Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day!” 2 Corinthians 4:16.
You get so old you can’t do it anymore, but your memory is so bad, you swear up and down that you did it.
During the last throws of the light bulb transition (ban) I bought over 200 in various wattage. They will be the next currency with ammo...
I was at Costco the other day. I was struggling a bit (emphasis on A BIT) with a case of water. A good looking (albeit a bit younger) man walked up and asked if he could help. “Isn’t that kind”, I thought. Then he said, “hope you have a nice day, MAM... you sort of remind me of my Mother”. I wanted to stick a fork in my eye. Guess I should get around to ordering my hover craft. LOL!
hover craft = hover round. Yeah... my mind is going too.
Youngsters all.... 72 now and off to the gym!!
