Most of that sound like just being hen pecked.  Take control back.
Hire out yard work or, if she is unemployed again she can do it
staying out until 3 is tough sledding after 28ish unless you are really partying

I like sports, and I liked playing sports as a kid but for the life of me I can't imagine anything possibly being worse than having kids who play sports all year long. Would you rather take the kids to a Cats game on Saturday or go to the local YMCA and watch 6 year olds try to play football? I went to my niece's 6th grade B team basketball game a few years ago. The school had the audacity to charge me $2 to get in and the final score was something ridiculous like 9-4.

If your kid is good and/or cares enough to play hard it is incredibly fun.  If you kid gives no fucks about playing that is why Allah gave us WatchESPN and FoxSportsGo.  Brucketball has made it a lot easier too

I'm approaching 40 and I've noticed in the past few years....
- Can't keep weight off just by exercising. I actually have to watch what I eat, especially after 8pm.
- I dread staying up late socially, but I'm ok staying up to binge watch.
- My night vision is getting worse.
- I actually care about what kind of mattress I sleep on.
- More people annoy the crap out of me, generally speaking, and I now see that most stereotypes exist for a reason. When people bitch about millenials being lazy, sheltered pieces of crap - that's because it's definitely true.
- I give way fewer shits about what other people think. I've basically become Larry David, and it's actually pretty fun.

On thread topic: when I was younger I always wondered why/how my older co workers could spend so much time in the john. I mean for one, it smells like dookie in there and also I don't really want to advertise that that's what I'm doing. But as I'm getting older I'm starting to notice the time creeping up. Not even close to the 10+ minutes I've observed from others but... The trajectory is there.

On actual topic: wackster, I know we're only hearing the negs and I'm sure if there was a "ways my significant other is amazing" thread that you would be absolutely blowing that thing up. But as I read this I'm getting a very uncomfortable yet familiar chill. I hope that feeling is misplaced but if I can give a word of advice as someone who has been there... Be honest with yourself and ask yourself what you can actually be okay compromising on and what is just asking you to be someone that, at your core, you just aren't. If you try to be someone or something you aren't... Well it's all going to come to the surface eventually. Obviously I don't know the minutiae of your relationship, but I don't wanna see you (or anyone) make the same mistakes!

Do yourself a favor and go straight for the needle. It hurt like hell but none of that rolling stuff or any of the two months of electro therapy made a dent. I had no idea just how bad I was hurting until about two days after the shot and then I felt like a million bucks.

I got referred out to a podiatrist who made me go through PT first. On follow-up, I said the PT, stretching, etc. didn't help at all. She then explained the next steps and asked if I'd want the steroid. I said yes. It's not 100% but far better than before. It's been about four months since I got the shot and it still feels pretty good even after getting back to running. I can go and get it again if/when the pain ramps back up. The next most invasive step is to do platelet therapy.

On a triple and quadruple sign of getting old, I got a couple sets of awesome custom fit orthotic inserts out of the deal and I recently sprained my hip. :cyclist:

Went to Mexico for vacation (Oaxaca!), totally awesome trip.  We took a series of busses and a motorized rickshaw to get to a village at the foot of a mountain that had a home made shrine at the top.  I couldn't get enough air walking up that damn mountain (the locals didn't believe in switchbacks in their mountain trails), and thought I was going to die.  Ran into a bent-over elderly woman on the trail, who told my Spanish-speaking companion that she walked to the top of the mountain to visit the shrine twice a day.....made me feel first like a big vagina, but later made me feel really old.

Yes.  My hip never hurt.  All of the pain was down in my leg/knee.  After an MRI on my knee revealed nothing, they x-rayed my hip and it revealed that joint was absolutely destroyed.  Fast forward 11 months, new hip and no pain.  Hooray for modern medicine.

No.  Just a card that you carry in your wallet that says you have new parts installed.  The metal detectors light up when you go through them.

I don't want to gain 10 lbs and get felt up every time I fly so I'll try to avoid needing a new hip.

I can assure you it wasn't high on my list either.  I just got tired of popping lortabs like PEZ and/or drinking a half bottle of vodka at night to go to sleep.  I hope you get it figured out.

Needing a new hip would make me feel a lot older than the knee pain was making me feel.

Well, you get a cool card to carry around with you to show the TSA when you fly.  Also you instantly gain about 10 pounds.

For srz check and make sure it's not cobalt. Really good chance you'll get Cobalt poisoning and you'll start having all these neurological disorders that look a lot like Alzheimer's so docs will treat you for Alzheimer's and you'll die. If it's Cobalt get that bad boy outta there like yesterday.

Threw my Velcro gloves in bed of pickup last week during a break at the farm.  Sat on tailgate then laid back to relax for 5 mins.  Got back up and started looking for my gloves.  Where are my damn gloves!?  Checked the cab, bed, Gator.  Hollered at my son... You seen my gloves?  He was laughing while texting the family a pix of the gloves stuck to my back.

Not all hurt. There's sort of a common progression with them, though. And it's possible for circulation to the intestines to eventually get cut off, which is potentially fatal. So, they do tend to fix them for that reason, too, I guess.

If it needs to be replaced, do it sooner rather than later.  The cortisone shots only work for so long and the recovery is MUCH easier the younger you are.  I am almost 44 and had mine done a couple years ago FWIW.

Just got another cortisone injection in my shoulder the other day. Doing everything I can to not have shoulder surgery number FOUR. I'm 35.

Side note: It stemmed from a Navy injury, so not necessarily an "old person" problem, but damn...

Also, ftr, steroid injections don't work for everyone. I had nearly a dozen of them between surgeries 1 and 2 and they didn't do crap. Navy docs just wouldn't listen, and your choices are a bit limited while active duty.

When I was young I always laughed at other kids' dad that threw a baseball half side armed by keeping their elbows low.  Now I get it because I get an immediate pain in my shoulder when throwing overhand.  The only way I can throw anything is by keeping my elbow below my shoulder. 

Another sign of getting old is I couldn't be care less how stupid I look throwing that way.

I learned most of these via the internet or when I was three years old, but have confirmed with the field guide.

Mourning Dove
Blue Jay
American Crow
Carolina Chickadee
House Sparrow
American Robin
Northern Cardinal
Red-winged Blackbird
Brown-headed Cowbird
House Finch
American Goldfinch

Wow!  Brown-headed cowbirds are few and far between north of Oklahoma.  My favorite brood parasite.

According to my field guide, the edge of their year round range runs right through Kansas. So, that makes sense. I'm in Ohio, which falls squarely within their year round range.

I spotted on of these recently. White-crowned Sparrow.

okay guys are there some serious birders on this blog? I had no idea it was a thing until a few years ago when i learned that my cousin and my high school biology teacher knew each other because they were both birders and apparently my cousin was kind of seen as an up and coming birder talent and groups of them would go on birding excursions.

I get that sometimes.  I've started stretching before bed and it seems to help.  I used to not even stretch before playing bball or working out, and now I have to stretch before laying down for 8 hours.

I do it all the time. Just stare off into space for 20 minutes or so thinking about what I'd rather be doing. It can get awkward when people catch you doing it at parties. They think you are staring at them or somebody else, but no, you are just staring off into space, really. And you can't tell them what you were really doing because then they would know you'd rather be doing something else.

I sometimes think about things staring off into space how you describe, but that isn't how I would classify my daydreamin.  When I for real go into a daydream, it is an actual dream while I'm awake.  It is like a really lucid dream where it appears real and I have some limited control over the direction of the dream.  My eyes will be closed, but I'm awake(if someone is walking around or talking in real life I can hear them and am partially aware of my surroundings)  I definitely feel refreshed when I snap out of mine.  Almost like I actually slept for a bit.  Used to happen in college all the time.  If I had my mind right I could close my eyes and go into it, open my eyes and it is mostly gone, but could get back to where I left off if I closed them again.  And sometimes the "dreams" are nothing more than images coming in and out(almost like short video clips) or morphing from one thing to another(beautiful girl morphing into a demon for instance)  Really weird.  Honestly though, can't remember the last time it happened.  It's been a while.

I was in the gym and this younger guy I know was like, "DUUUDE! Check these ooout! New earbuds!" He pulled out this little, high tech case and, as he opened it, I hear a faint hissing sound like the case is pressurized or something. I was like, "Dude! What was that!? The case?" He just keeps on with showing me the earbuds and telling me how awesome they are. And I'm just totally flummoxed by the source of the noise. I can't figure out if it was the case or a noise he made with his mouth. And I can't see anything because I'm not wearing my stupid rough ridin' old person trifocals. I'm just standing there, like an outdated, confused, helpless old man. So, I interrupt, "Was that noise from the case or your mouth???" He says, "Oh, my mouth. And they're waterproof so I can wear them in the shower and ..."

If for some reason I eat fast food a few days in a row then stop, by the 2nd or 3rd day after I start feeling strangling good. It’s the same feeling I had on weekends my when I spent the summer back home after my freshman year. I went from a hang over every Friday-Sunday to waking up at 9:30 on a Saturday and confused that I didn’t feel like crap.

Whenever I get my blood pressure checked, I daydream of scuba diving somewhere in the tropics.  I almost always have BP 120/80 when I do that.   See, daydreaming has practical applications!

So my left hand thumb and pinky hurt, a lot.  It's more of a dull pain and has just really started the last month or two.  I know what it is, and I can't believe it's finally happening to me  :frown: .  It's from holding and typing on my phone for years.  The thread I thought about starting is a "21st Century Problems" or something like that.  That neck bone spur thing is another of the physical problems that has been showing(no bone spurs for me yet!) up because we are on our phones so much.  I use mine for rough ridin' everything, when I'm not on a computer of course.

I have started to have to hold my phone with my left hand and use my right pointer and middle finger to do stuff.  It really rough ridin' sucks, and is only going to get worse.  I have always thought those circle extender things on the back of phones looked goofy...but I may have to get one  :frown: .

Today on twitter someone said there was a correlation between owning a 3 bar hat and being an old that doesn’t like the Cats script logo. I’ve reached that age in youths minds where everyone between 35 and 65 is the effectively the same age.
What is a “3 bar” hat? Adidas logo?

I settled into sect 23 in my white kstate hoodie and white cartoon willie hat thinking wtf is no one else wearing white? 

I was pretty proud of myself thinking it was due to cold and not everyone has white cold weather gear unless your the bad guys from the 2nd die hard movie.

Imagine my suprise when at the first TV timeout they ran a promo on the big board for the MBB white out game v Marquette,

I could have a multi-hour discussion on if the idea of  generations &!decades has changed or if the explosion of TV channels (and thus content) & nostalgia in the 90s retconned decades into boxes that never actually existed.

I also can’t reconcile in my mind that a show about my parents senior year in high school came out 22?years later when I was in high school, yet 22 years later my oldest kid just turned 5. 

I could go on about all of this for hours, which in itself is a sign of getting old.

I took your advice... surgery 10-12, recovery 12-2, PT showed up.at 3 asking if I thought I could get up.

Slapped on Liberty Bowl t and walked to PT room, did some stairs and leg exercises on the table.  I've knocked out 2-3 more laps this afternoon.  One without a nurse so grounded the rest of evening.

Sitting in chair feels amazingly good.  A little worried about getting in bed and sleeping, but off to a good start on recovery.

We've had an opening for almost 3 years now and he's tried to blame recruiting since I joined of why it's not being filled. He doesn't want to acknowledge that it's a trash office in the middle of nowhere. Anyways, when he tried to send a group email this morning busting our balls about the language of the AD, I sent him a direct email that showed it was an AD he had written himself and signed off on 6 months ago. I could have simply hit reply all to make him look like a complete jackass, but I went to him directly, instead of dunking on his ass. Maybe he's just having a really bad day, you know?

Perfect example, went for a run the other day and realized my shorts had a little zipper pocket for a key and i hadn't noticed it before b/c the zipper is right up by the elastic waistband or oriented horizontal instead of vertical. felt like i just won the lottery. been bragging about it pretty much 24/7/365 ever since.

i just found out that a rain jacket i've had for like a year has zippered armpit vents and it's all very exciting
in general i get v excited when i discover a pocket in an article of clothing that i hadn't previously noticed. Perfect example, went for a run the other day and realized my shorts had a little zipper pocket for a key and i hadn't noticed it before b/c the zipper is right up by the elastic waistband or oriented horizontal instead of vertical. felt like i just won the lottery. been bragging about it pretty much 24/7/365 ever since.
did i worry that when i finished my run i was going to reach into my standard pockets, not feel my key fab and then have a meltdown b/c i thought it fell out of my pocket somewhere on the trail? yes of course i was worried that would happen. and let me tell you, the second you realize "oh yeah...secret pocket" its like that feeling right after you wake up from having a bad dream and realize it wasn't real it was just a dream and you just feel immediately at ease.

Full release and new hip is working great.  Now my knee is swollen and hurting after hip therapy.

I would recommend going to a chiropractor to get straightened out.  I did after getting a full release and it seemed to help.

Was doing pullups Wednesday and after I was finished I sat back down to do work, and my god the place where my neck connects to my back just felt horrible (didn't hurt until I sat down). I think I have finally popped everything back into place and I definitely need to improve my technique. But definitely some combo bones out of place + some sort of tendon pain. Just couldn't sleep well. Spent this entire weekend finally catching up on sleep.

Have you tried taking muscle relaxants.  Years ago I would get a kink in my neck and the doc. would prescribe them for me.  Usually take a day, but would do the trick by the next morning.

Guys, so there are two pickup sand volleyball leagues that I play in. We haven’t played since early March, because of COVID, tonight was the first night back. It was a lot of fun and much needed. I was fine until about an hour ago...OMFG lol I am like a stick figure walking.

I am going to be SO rough ridin' sore tomorrow. I have played pickup sand volleyball for years. Quarantine has put me even more out of shape. I actually felt fine playing for an hour and half but holy rough ridin' crap after a few hours I feel my age.

This used to not be a big deal. I feel so old right now.

2 weeks ago I made the 3 hour drive to the lake. Next day picked up the boat and drove the boat 2 hours (40 miles) to the house.

Day after that?
Back was completely out. Could barely stand up. For sure feels better but I’m at exactly two weeks and still having stiffness and pain.

I think a combination of sand volleyball for the first time in 3 months, driving back and forth across the country, doing front/back flips off a boat and being as old as the earth have led to this. I am currently experiencing back spasms and Sciatica like I haven’t had in years. :frown:

I have to go long sleeve otherwise the sleeves ride up the back of my arms and they burn. For some reason that part of my arm burns really easily. I also just like the feel of the long sleeve better.

Haven't had mine done in a bit, but my ratio is always meh, but both levels end up being in the "good" range, just the HDL is in the lower part and the LDL in the higher of that good range, oh well. The doc I was with said exercise helps with the HDL, not sure though it really helped because I was way between two different times I went in and everything was the same more or less. Oh well

Working on both this winter with a goal to get my body fat from 22% to 18%. Weight is down four pounds since health screening in October. Rest of the numbers are still good. No statins for the old man.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201120/9d8ab204ca8ab8264728fc28e98f6d66.jpg)

A lot of people told me to do more exercise on Twitter and I didn’t want to get into it, but I either swim a mile or walk 3 miles 5 days a week. So I don’t think that’s it. Probably just age and the hooch. Case closed!

I hurt my knee somehow when I was huffing through fields last weekend chasing pheasants. Mainly just really sore in the tendons/ligaments under the knee.

I can still walk fine for the most part and I'm hoping its just sore from taking giant steps through/over tall grass and that I didn't actually do any real damage to it.  :pray:

well that's why i said the part about "if you're not a runner or a swimmer" like yes, the total amount of time to swim a mile for an average non elite swimmer is probably around 30 minutes but there is a barrier to entry there in that you can't just go decide "guess i'll swim a mile lmao" b/c it takes a while to build up to it. just like most people can't just go run an 8 miler without being in some sort of running shape. i mean obvs there are exceptions. some people are just athletes that can do whatever they want but i'm guessing that doesn't apply to most of the bloggers on this blog

Swimming can really get you shredded, if you do it 4-5 times a week and eat decently healthy. Before the pandemic, I was getting in fighting shape. It slowed down because the closure of gyms, so I started the walk/run thing again. Swimming rocks.

Still in elite shape because I'm an obsessive crazy person but weird things are starting to hurt. Like my fingers hurt like hell at night when I settle down for sleepy time. Normally after doing pull-ups or band workouts during the day. Other stuff hurts now that i'm old, but I never expected my pinkies to start hurting.

gah, I just started getting this. only when I sleep. the first time I woke up and thought I was having a heart attack. but then I took a drink of water and it went away for a bit so I figured it wasn't that. then realized what was happening. It's usually after I've had alcohol for a few days in a row. omeprazole helps a lot but I read something about how you're not supposed to take it long term. fellow old people, post heart burn pro tips ITT.

Acid reflux. Getting old sucks. I had it bad for a while. Did a 14 day cycle omeprazole. Then went to three pills a week.

You aren't supposed to hit it every day because it blocks mineral intake. Pulling back to T, Th, Sa kept the bloodwork good and heartburn at bay.

If you reallllly don't want to take omeprazole long term, stop drinking. Ya, I know. What's the fun in that? Well, I haven't had a drink since last May and my gut has healed. I have to load up on a ton of spicy food to even need chewable antacid. Smoked food used to get the acid rolling too. I can enjoy a brisket now without feeling like death is coming out of my throat.

Update: went to the hospital shortly after that post thinking I was having a heart attack. I couldn’t breath, started vomiting from pain & started blacking out and falling to my knees. Got to the hospital and got worse. It wasn’t a heart attack, but they said it definitely wasn’t heartburn. They told me they’ve had people come in with heartburn thinking heart attack and they never thought that with me. Nurse said it looked like a heart attack until they ruled it out.

They don’t know what it was. They said it might have been my gallbladder or pancreas going haywire. They scanned me and said they suggested I call my PCP on Monday & get referred to a GI doctor to test gallbladder function. She told me even though your gallbladder is lower, the nerves all travel together along with your pancreas & with extreme gallbladder pain it can feel like that in your chest.

So I’m at the age where I present as a heart attack and spend six hours in the ER, but not a heart attack & they aren’t really sure what it was. They also said the whole time my blood pressure never rose above 120/80 and were shocked.

As noted, gb just stores excess bile. With gb removed, you get a little loose in the movements for a few weeks as your body adapts.

About 15 years ago (I think) my gallbladder stopped functioning.  No stones, just stopped functioning.  After meals, I would get a pretty intense belly ache and nausea.  It was rough for a bit.

The function test sucked.  They basically do a test to activate the gallbladder.  If it doesn't activate, you have your symptoms.  When they did it, of course, I had the symptoms.  When the nurse came in, I had tears in my eyes, and she said "I think we found the problem." I said, "no crap."

The surgery is super easy.  Outpatient laproscope.  Sore belly for a few days, and watch the tiny incisions for infection.  I had mine out on a Thursday, back to work on Monday.

I have two teens, and I am resisting the adoption of some of the new lingo.   My kids, probably just to humor me, do not use much of the new lingo at home with me, but I hear their friends use it, so I know that they must use it to.  Many of these make me very uncomfortable.  Some examples include, but are not limited to:

- low key:  This was used frequently by old people before being adopted by young people.  The old people would use it to describe a quiet function, for example.  Now it seems to be used interchangeably with "kind of" or "sort of." This one probably should not bother me, because "kind of" and "sort of" aren't very pretty phrases themselves.

- a minute:  Used interchangeably with "a while."  I detest this one, and hate even more that I will probably end up using it someday.  Crap.

- extra:  Used interchangeable with "overkill," or "over the top."  Again, I shouldn't really complain about this one, because it's no worse than the phrases it replaces, but change is hard.

- wait:  Used to start an interjection where you ask someone to clarify something.  It has always been used this way, but was formerly limited to higher priority items.  Now it seems to be used by young people to start any sort of clarifying interjection.  "Wait, what flavor of jelly do you have?"

- basic:  Mostly a negative description of something simple or plain.  I refuse to use this. 

- slaps:  "Good," "Excellent," "Terrific."  I come from a generation that started using the word "Bad" to mean good, so I shouldn't bitch about this one. Still doesn't sit right with me tho.

- banger:  "good song."  Might be applied to more than songs, but that's all I have heard it used to describe.  Meh, I don't hate it, but would feel silly using it. I will probably adopt this one before the others on this list tho.

There are loads of others, but this is all I can think of right now.

Some of the youtubers and twitch'rs that I watch are fairly young (early 20's) and have a lot of the same lingo (particularly low key and wait). It's mostly amusing to me.

One I have noticed:

Bully - (stop bullying me) this is used a lot, mostly ironically like when your friend beats you in a game or makes a friend-type joke at your expense. Can also be used where my gamer generation would have used the word rape (I bullied the crap out of that guy).

I'll try to pay attention to get some more, but nothing comes to mind right away.

short form of "high cappin" which was used in the 80's to describe some one who lies about their social status or one who flaunt's arogantly brand new merchandise but is in debt. now-a-days its basically used to describe a liar but it still refers to he old meaning from time to time

Not ever in OK but I do hear that more amongst old people, but doesn't bother me on the least

The youngest at work a few use yeet or slaps fairly regularly, I laugh every time I hear it cause it seems so out of place for even a 22/23 year old, it seems like teenager slang. I don't mind even saying slaps cause it just makes me laugh ever time.

Simp and basic are the ones I hear the most that bothers me, both just seem unnecessarily mean towards who they are describing fwiw.

Every OK older guy uses in “it’s been a minute.” As in “you remember Bob?”...”yeah, it’s been a minute since I’ve seen him” and it’s been 20 years.

I said “in a minute” 5 times a day from ages 4-18.  “Are you coming to eat?”...”In a minute.”  I think I still say it to my wife a lot. My 6 year old said that to me a couple years ago in front of my mom and she started laughing really hard and said “you’re getting what you deserve.”

imho if i were describing a song i really liked i would call it a banger. but then if i heard a catchy song i wasn't familiar with, or if it wasn't a full song but more just like a snip like in a tiktok video or something, i'd be like "oh that's a bop!"

- low key:  This was used frequently by old people before being adopted by young people.  The old people would use it to describe a quiet function, for example.  Now it seems to be used interchangeably with "kind of" or "sort of." This one probably should not bother me, because "kind of" and "sort of" aren't very pretty phrases themselves.

- a minute:  Used interchangeably with "a while."  I detest this one, and hate even more that I will probably end up using it someday.  Crap.

- extra:  Used interchangeable with "overkill," or "over the top."  Again, I shouldn't really complain about this one, because it's no worse than the phrases it replaces, but change is hard.

- wait:  Used to start an interjection where you ask someone to clarify something.  It has always been used this way, but was formerly limited to higher priority items.  Now it seems to be used by young people to start any sort of clarifying interjection.  "Wait, what flavor of jelly do you have?"

- basic:  Mostly a negative description of something simple or plain.  I refuse to use this. 

- slaps:  "Good," "Excellent," "Terrific."  I come from a generation that started using the word "Bad" to mean good, so I shouldn't bitch about this one. Still doesn't sit right with me tho.

- banger:  "good song."  Might be applied to more than songs, but that's all I have heard it used to describe.  Meh, I don't hate it, but would feel silly using it. I will probably adopt this one before the others on this list tho.

I have two teens, and I am resisting the adoption of some of the new lingo.   My kids, probably just to humor me, do not use much of the new lingo at home with me, but I hear their friends use it, so I know that they must use it to.  Many of these make me very uncomfortable.  Some examples include, but are not limited to:

- low key:  This was used frequently by old people before being adopted by young people.  The old people would use it to describe a quiet function, for example.  Now it seems to be used interchangeably with "kind of" or "sort of." This one probably should not bother me, because "kind of" and "sort of" aren't very pretty phrases themselves.

- a minute:  Used interchangeably with "a while."  I detest this one, and hate even more that I will probably end up using it someday.  Crap.

- extra:  Used interchangeable with "overkill," or "over the top."  Again, I shouldn't really complain about this one, because it's no worse than the phrases it replaces, but change is hard.

- wait:  Used to start an interjection where you ask someone to clarify something.  It has always been used this way, but was formerly limited to higher priority items.  Now it seems to be used by young people to start any sort of clarifying interjection.  "Wait, what flavor of jelly do you have?"

- basic:  Mostly a negative description of something simple or plain.  I refuse to use this. 

- slaps:  "Good," "Excellent," "Terrific."  I come from a generation that started using the word "Bad" to mean good, so I shouldn't bitch about this one. Still doesn't sit right with me tho.

- banger:  "good song."  Might be applied to more than songs, but that's all I have heard it used to describe.  Meh, I don't hate it, but would feel silly using it. I will probably adopt this one before the others on this list tho.

There are loads of others, but this is all I can think of right now.

-

Are your kids in their mid-thirties?

yep... I'm 33 and I use some of those, and they are all used by peers.

I have had terrible neck issues since August.  Have been going to a chiropractor who just keeps telling me to ice it and use tens treatment on it which is a huge PITA. It will feel ok for a while but I'll sleep wrong one night and it's bad again.

It's from between my shoulder blades to the base of my neck!

No cap, Pete is sus

Sus is great.

The origins of that slang word was used to describe a hetero male who may be closeted. It's used widely now to describe something suspicious, but when I first saw it like five years ago, it was short for suspect.

Literally, as I type this my 12 year old and my wife are talking about the word simp. My kid is misusing the word, like all kids do, and my wife has no idea what a simp is.  :facepalm:

Title: Re: Signs of getting old
Post by: MakeItRain on March 07, 2021, 02:54:01 AM
Depends on ya grading curve, definitely wasn't super quick twitchy explosive like Blake or whomever but he was ripped and a nba athlete. I'd reserve that descriptor for like Eddy Curry.

Apparently rusty & clams have a hell of a curve. Of course he was athletic because he was a professional basketball player, but when compared to his peers his athleticism was average. He was a big, tall, strong Ox of a man, but we're not talking about strength, are we? Like you said, he wasn't fast twitch,, he wasn't the least bit versatile either. He couldn't shoot, couldn't, dribble, but he might have been the best at the rim of his time. Here's a list, off the top of my head, of his contemporaries who were either a 4 or 5, who were more athletic than the mailman.
Barkley
Hakeem
Robinson
Shaq
Larry Nance
Shawn Kemp
Dennis Rodman
Larry Johnson
Alonzo Mourning
Derrick Coleman
Ced Ceballos
Tom Chambers
C Web

I won't even do him dirty and include players like KG, who played like 5 All Star games with Malone. There are other players I could include, but won't because the olds will cry, like my guy Vin Baker.

So, yeah, if we're composing him to Kirby Puckett or Claude Lemieux, yeah he's very athletic, but with his peers he's just an average athlete and that's okay, he's still one of the best power forwards of all time.

I think it's crazy that more Gen Xers who who Charles Manson is than millennials who know Dahmer. It's actually quite a microcosm of our society, how we consume media, our obsession with celebrity, and our willingness to ignore racial issues. Dahmer was a real life monster, but his victims didn't merit the attention of the public.

Yep, started about mid 30's. I force myself to either do 2 leg workouts a week or basically none at all. If I try and do just one, I am miserable all week. I've also started running a bit and even thought I'm in decent shape, my legs just feel heavy all the time. Getting old really sucks major ass.

Someone K-State media adjacent snidely dismisses “the olds” when discussing ESPN+ and it genuinely pissed me off.

That's gotta be John Kurtz, and he even isn't as young as he thinks he is.

Mason.

I’m not sure you could squint and call him kstate media adjacent

He's an alum who has his own show on AM drive time in the largest city in the state.

going for a 2 mile walk now qualifies as a "workout"
Old man club. Circuit training with a thirty minute walk. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210601/4a511a58b98c17e057d430c1a0b4350a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210601/fdd77c12c927b6880e82651b3faabd8e.jpg)

I can't find the posts, but remember when my high BP was about to make my heart burst into a million pieces? Today at the Doctors office I was like 130 over 80. 6'4", 208, and calm as a cucumber. I was there for a follow up visit due to my high cholesterol 6 months ago. Hoping that comes back kicking ass as well!  :excited:

Trick is: 4-5 miles a day (run/walking), 50-100 push ups and 300-600 sit ups a day (Monday-Friday). Eating healthy most of the time. Gave up heaters 2 years ago. Vodka and Dt. tonic when playing.

About 15 years ago (I think) my gallbladder stopped functioning.  No stones, just stopped functioning.  After meals, I would get a pretty intense belly ache and nausea.  It was rough for a bit.

The function test sucked.  They basically do a test to activate the gallbladder.  If it doesn't activate, you have your symptoms.  When they did it, of course, I had the symptoms.  When the nurse came in, I had tears in my eyes, and she said "I think we found the problem." I said, "no crap."

The surgery is super easy.  Outpatient laproscope.  Sore belly for a few days, and watch the tiny incisions for infection.  I had mine out on a Thursday, back to work on Monday.
Do you remember if that function test was called a HIDA scan?

Wacks, they say you die twice, once when you die and once when your name is said for the last time.

Imagine its the year 2255 and some grad student at the Kansas State University of Knowledge & Inclusiveness decides to do an Internet Archaeology project about what it was like when Universities sponsored Athletics (Banned by Sasha Obama in 2048). They will stumble across a long dead gE and read through the entire thing before writing the greatest thesis ever written.

i'm split on captions. it's great to know exactly what they're saying. but then i find myself focusing mostly on captions and at that point might as well read a book.

i tried to watch tenet on a plane once with their crap headphones and there wasn't captions. lol at any hope of that movie making sense.

I def has some things I can try. I guess I'll up my cardio as most of my workout is weight training and maybe add more fiber rich stuff. Going to do everything I can to not take a pill. I'll go vegan if I have too. Hopefully its a one off. This has actually happened before. Several years ago I had elevated levels and then the next year everything was fine. Hoping for the same this time, but getting old sucks.

Didn't talk much about HDL, just that my LDL was slightly above at 114 and my total was slightly above at 204. I have some family history that is triggering the additional tests apparently. She said if I didn't have that, they would just keep an eye on it.

Finally decided to get the thing out. It had gotten somewhat better & I was 50/50 on if it was going to help. I decided to put it off until after vacation & getting some work done on the house that required me to move all the heavy stuff in/out. It’s scheduled for Thursday. I was doing great until I had a bad attack Thursday night & I’m in the middle of a worse one now. I put it off weeks with no real problems, but it decides to cause problems the week before it comes out.

A couple years ago I played floor hockey in Sweden over lunch with some co-workers that played every week. I don’t know how I kept from puking on the floor.

Had to trim ear hair for the first time this morning.  :Wha:

I get a bunch of hair on that little lobe that sticks out on the front of your ear.

I found one solitary inch long hair in this spot last year. I was mortified.
i did too and I had a conversation about it with k-state’s favorite sports writer,  j-mart

The day I got my new "way more strong that the previous version" iPhone, I sat down on one of those really low beach lawn chairs in a friends driveway. The phone slowly slid out of my pocket and slid out the back of the chair from less than 1 foot off the ground. Cracked the back which is way more expensive to fix than the front. Amazon slim case FTW.

I have capsulitis of the second toe on my right foot. basically the joint where the base of the toe connects to my foot hurts when I walk or run. my second toe is the same length as my big toe but it's apparently most common if your second toe is longer than your big toe. I have new Hoka shoes that are supposed to be good for it. going to see if that makes it better but if not I'm going to go see a podiatrist. which seems like the oldest person doctor of all doctors.

Ask if you can just do the 4 Dulcolax & a can of Miralax prep. Mix the Miralax with the white cherry Gatorade. So much easier to get down than the weird prescription liquids. Also, don’t just do the “no eating the day before” part of the prep. Follow the eating recommendations 3-4 days out. Makes is a breeze.

That's terrible advise. The no eating thing is the absolute worst part. The pissing out of your ass is easy if you're staying at home and have a bidet. 5 minutes of ass pissing an hour for 8 hours, no sweat if you're expecting it. rough ridin' with my diet, huge problem.

I didn’t think the dietary restrictions for 2-3 days prior to the day of no eating was that drastic. I’d much rather avoid a few foods for a few days to only have to drink Gatorade for the prep & pee water out my butt than not alter my diet, drink that nasty prep & have a sore ass from much harsher diarrhea.

Imagine doing all the prep and not pooping once and then the doctors are like well i think we'll cancel this because we might accidentally kill you and then you get horrible painful gas but you aren't farting either.

The drinking the medicated stuff was honestly not that bad (for me). Tasted like a watered down cherry Sudafed. Agree with MiR the bathrrom part, while kinda gross if you're just chillin at home you manage it and it's not that big a deal. The not eating for 24 hours sucks cause your body is used to taking in food but once you get over it w/e.

The actual colonoscopy was seriously the best anesthesia experience I ever had. I get it's down to the anesthesiologist but man, went under at noon, woke up a 12:30, and no tired effects or anything. Dude had it locked in. Was able to eat after without feeling nauseous or anything.

If you follow the sheet they give you on what to avoid a few days before, after 3 minutes of the initial ass fountain it’s just water/Gatorade. I have a couple issues that I thought the prep would inflame & it didn’t even do that. It’s nothing like eating bad food or having a virus that puts you in the bathroom. It wasn’t uncomfortable at all. Then you get a refreshing drug nap.

Scheduled a colonoscopy.

Ask if you can just do the 4 Dulcolax & a can of Miralax prep. Mix the Miralax with the white cherry Gatorade. So much easier to get down than the weird prescription liquids. Also, don’t just do the “no eating the day before” part of the prep. Follow the eating recommendations 3-4 days out. Makes is a breeze.

That's terrible advise. The no eating thing is the absolute worst part. The pissing out of your ass is easy if you're staying at home and have a bidet. 5 minutes of ass pissing an hour for 8 hours, no sweat if you're expecting it. rough ridin' with my diet, huge problem.

I didn’t think the dietary restrictions for 2-3 days prior to the day of no eating was that drastic. I’d much rather avoid a few foods for a few days to only have to drink Gatorade for the prep & pee water out my butt than not alter my diet, drink that nasty prep & have a sore ass from much harsher diarrhea.

The drinking the medicated stuff was honestly not that bad (for me). Tasted like a watered down cherry Sudafed. Agree with MiR the bathrrom part, while kinda gross if you're just chillin at home you manage it and it's not that big a deal. The not eating for 24 hours sucks cause your body is used to taking in food but once you get over it w/e.

The actual colonoscopy was seriously the best anesthesia experience I ever had. I get it's down to the anesthesiologist butt man, went under at noon, woke up a 12:30, and no tired effects or anything. Dude had it locked in. Was able to eat after without feeling nauseous or anything.

Sounds right, if only I had the courage to call one by that name.  :sdeek:

Dunno if the getting old thread was necessarily the best, but I didn’t see an irrational fears thread, and old people tend to have problems with technology so it felt right. I’m not quite to the point where I feel the need to use gps on every drive, even if it’s to places I’ve been hundreds of times.

Or, even better, use the gps in the car as well as the gps on my phone as well at the garmin or tomtom I have suction cupped to my windshield. Absolutely love that one.

man I love going to bed early. my kids and I have crossed over in our optimal bed times. really sad because my kids are not yet old enough to be trusted to just go to bed on their own and do teeth brushing, etc. so now I'm FORCED to stay up until the time where I can FORCE them to go to dang bed. my wife had the kids in KC for a few days seeing her family and you know what I did? went to bed at like 8:30. was amazing. sometimes in mid summer when the sun won't go to dang bed I'll just get in bed when it's still kinda light out. I am an adult so I make the rules now (somewhat).

i think the longer you're alive, the shorter a year feels b/c proportionately a year becomes a smaller percentage of how long you've been alive. Also, as we get older we tend to get more into repetative routines, so unless you're frequently having life-changing memorable moments then yeah, the years definitely start to blend together.

Guys I just grifted some Boomer on FB marketplace for $200. Sold him the "AntiMicrowave" the appliance that gets your food "as cold as if you put it in the fridge overnight" in less than 3 minutes! It was literally just my old busted microwave and I just threw some old batteries inside lmfao  :lol:

on the subject of clearing out colons, i've been constipated af for most this week. bought glycerin suppositories (not knowing what a suppository is). hesitated to do it for a few days, but finally relented. the directions said wait 15 minutes, i could only last 9. the results were explosive. feeling fine ever since

Why does nobody talk about suppositories. One of my buds got constipated, and I told him about the magic of suppositories. Took him 2 days before he gave in, and since then we’ve just been raving about it. Imagine anything that’s semi-ready to go, could explode out of you in an instant. It’s one of the biggest life hacks I know

At a minor league hockey game they had a foam puck toss where you toss the puck onto to the rink & whoever is closest to the middle wins money. I was about 9 rows from the glass behind a goal. Someone in the upper deck tossed a puck & it hit me. I then tried to lob it over the net. Halfway through the throw a pain shot through my shoulder, down my side, into my hip. The puck went 45 degrees to my left & made it about 6 rows. It never got higher than my head. Everyone laughed at me, but some other dads were laughing with me in sympathy & not at me.

With the apps/sites, it's like a real life video game that reminds me of Pokemon Go. With the Merlin app, it can listen and tell you what birds it thinks it hears live. With E-Bird, it keeps track of every bird you claim to see and the exact location. I didn't realize how location (county/state) specific it gets. There is a couple dudes who maintain a database that tracks every bird that has been seen in which county in Kansas. Certain birders try to be "list-able" in every county in Kansas. Lot of time and dedication.

I had a humming bird feeder last summer. Never had any issues with wasps or bees. But despite refilling the thing 4-5 times, which I take to indicate plenty of humming bird activity, I only saw ONE humming bird the entire time. I will say that it was pretty cool to see that one, though.

About once a year I go through a phase for a few weeks where I look at RVs I’ll never buy. I’m in that phase now.
I live in one. Solo. Love it. Can't imagine sharing this space with anyone for more than a couple of days. If you're gonna camp every weekend, then I can see spending the money. Otherwise, I'd just get a cabin a few times a year.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230610/31d413911aad2ddbac7d16c21a14099c.jpg)

That looks great. And if I buy one, it will be a smaller motor home for just Mrs. Hamburg & I to travel after the girls are gone. The chances of that happening are ~1%. The looking at something I know I’ll never buy is the sign of getting old.

Basically I have been constantly nursing some sort of a nagging injury for about the last 9 months. Strained back doing deadlifts, damaged my neck changing pillows, and strained my wrist when I fell playing basketball. The first two lasted about 2 months until I found the right exercises to fix them and the wrist has been nagging for 3+ months and the occupational therapist was like "yeah you're pretty much on track". Sheesh.

Good news is I can still do modified CrossFit and play basketball, just need to be more careful

Ha, Mrs SF and I split like every meal we eat out these days. Not sure if this is an old man thing, because I should have been doing this a long time ago. When we split, I am very rarely hungry still or wish I had the other half. The portions are just out of control these days and half is plenty for me most of the time. I'm sure the wait staff just thinks we are cheap assholes, but its really not even that.

I used to be a part of the clean plate club(CPC) but I almost always take my leftovers home now. It’s also probably a big reason I’ve lost and kept all the extra weight off. Also eating healthier in general.

Word. I'm a slow eater anyway, so I have a better sense of when I'm no longer hungry. As you note, American portion sizes make splitting meals an obvious choice. Less waste. But I too feel like the server thinks we're just being cheap, so I toss a few more bones on the pile to make up for it.

Went to a pet store today to get aquarium water tested. While waiting for help, I grabbed a net to buy. Got the water tested & just walked out with the net without paying.

Flipping through radio stations on my way to work and happened to hear what sounded like a 20-something DJamer say, "The first time I heard this song I didn't care much for it, but now after hearing it a couple times....that chorus is a banger. Here's Luke Combs with Fast Car."

I'm not typically a country listener, so I though oh wow. Combs must have sampled or recomposed Fast Car. Nope. It's literally the same song. And then it occurred to me. This young lady, who is in the radio business, had never heard Tracy Chapman's Fast Car before.

I'm sure for months I had no idea Roberta Flack sang "Killing Me Softly" or Dolly did "I Will Always Love You", so I'm not hating. It was just a sign that I'm getting old.

Whether or not they know who tracey chapman is, I was more surprised they'd never heard the song before. I thought it was pretty common. Justin Bieber and Sam Smith have covered it. It seems to be a pretty common cover / acoustic / singer-songwriter song. Either way, I'm glad it lives on.

2 or 3 - 100% USA approved family right here folks. Hotdog grill out youth sports actionville.

4 - Whoa, you guys really got after it with the kids! haha, just kidding. It's really cool, great family there. Is it Trystin or Brystin that's the middle one? I mean the younger middle one, haha. Anyway, I know you're busy so....

5+ - wtf is going on here? duggar family on the corner has their entire passel of kids on the lawn in their homemade dresses and matching outfits getting into their 7 row nissan shuttle van to go to the park. the oldest daughter is the pseudo-mom to the entire bunch because dad won't get off of the actual mom. vagina is a clown car over here folks.

Does writing your member of Congress and getting a canned response belong in this thread?

Dear [redacted]:
 
Thank you for your recent letter regarding public charter flight operations. I appreciate your comments on this matter.

In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has different regulations for public charter flights and scheduled air carrier service. Scheduled air carrier service follows strict regulations and standards, which cover pilot and crew member training, staffing, safety management, and oversight. Public charter flights with 30 or fewer seats are categorized by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) as "on-demand operations," which allows them to be operated under less complex FAA regulations. In recent years, the number of public charter flights using aircraft with fewer than 30 seats has significantly increased.

On August 24th, 2023, the FAA released a Notice of Intent to initiate a rulemaking regarding the exceptions for public charter operators. While the FAA plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and development of the aviation industry in the United States, any new regulation should not create an undue burden on carriers operating as public charters. I strongly support a thriving domestic airline industry that operates safely and efficiently, and I fully acknowledge its pivotal role in our economy.

As the 118th Congress discusses changes to FAA programs and federal aviation policies, I will keep working to ensure the federal government remains committed to supporting a safe, efficient, and fiscally responsible aviation network accessible to all Americans.
 
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
 
Sincerely,
 
JOHN CORNYN
United States Senator

I tried contacts about 20 years ago and could not get used to them. It drives me crazy to touch my eye and I blinked so much trying to put them in that they would be covered with eyelashes and oils from my skin by the time they were in place. These look like a great idea though.

I’ve decided against lasik cause I’m convinced my vision is just going to change afterwards anyway. In the last several years I went from a -2.2 prescription to -1.5.

I want to do LASIK but I'm paranoid that I'll go in on LASIK giver trainee day or there will be some sort of Final Destination-ish sequence that results in a powerful laser beam being shot through my skull.

I did LASIK 2 years ago after wearing contacts for 20 years.

1. It absolutely rough ridin' rules.

2. Being awake while a Lazer burns your eyeballs and you can smell it and your freaking out because what if you move or something and you go blind but then you remember that your eyeball is in some sort of vaccum holder thing rough ridin' sucks.

3. The benefits of #1 heavily outweigh the 30 seconds on each eye of #2.

This is the way to go.  The place I did it at 11 years ago also gave you valium on the way out!  The first night kinda sucks... have to wear eye patches and it just constantly feels like you have something in your eye.  I am still seeing 20/20 from it though.  Totally worth it!

If my vision change slows to negligible, I'll get the surgery. If I did it now, I'd need the surgery again in a few years.

Yeah, they gave me a Valium when I first got there and even then I was freaking out. I wasn't ready for the burning smell of my eyeballs getting zapped.

Post op was a breeze, went home, took a nap then woke up and could see pretty good. Was almost 100 percent by the next morning.

A coworker who was in her late 50s about 20 years ago had shingles and she was riding with me to a work site in the country.  Said she got it because she had measles as a kid.  She wouldn't stop talking about how much it hurt.  When we got to the site, she dropped her drawers and showed it to me.  It was on the side of her butt check and I don't think I'll ever get that vision out of my mind.  It was ferking ugly and I'm not just talking about the red scaby patch.  It scared me enough to get a preventive shot to keep that crap off my body.

Mrs Hamburg has had shingles twice. First time was in HS & more rash/skin pain thing. Second time she was 25. It started up on a Saturday & I was 4 hours away in Manhattan at a football game. It was deeper in her side & she couldn’t get off the couch. She had to have a friend come lift her off. It didn’t show a rash. We went to multiple doctors & she did PT for a month trying to get the pain to go away. They sent her to a specialist (I can’t remember what kind). After 15 minutes of him being puzzled & looking down at the chart he said “this is a random question, but you haven’t had shingles have you?” She said yes. He just sighed & closed her chart. She had a shingles relapse.

Combs did a solid job with it tbh. Kinda ballsy
i still struggle to come to terms with him covering this song and although the original is and always will be one of my favorites of all time, I can’t come to accept that he’s covered it and turn the channel when it comes on.

for the longest time I thought that the reason I didn’t like him covering it was because of some weird resentment I felt towards combs because I felt that he was taking something personal from tracy chapman and profiting from it.

this is a song about a poor kid forced into being an adult long before she should have due to her dad’s alcoholism, the middle of the song speaks to her hope for better, then as the song hits its last stanza, she as an adult falls in love with a dude who himself is an alcoholic and she’s forced to tell him to take the car and keep on driving.

what i think i’ve come to realize is that my resentment wasn’t because combs was taking her experience, but instead mine. 

pretty deep crap and GO CATS, glad I finally figured this out

I've noticed this a bit for a while, but I think I finally hit the, "its way harder to stay fit now that you are old as crap" stage. I've always been a gym rat and stayed in pretty good shape. I'd go in spurts where I'd let it go a bit, but always knew that I could get right back in and about how long it would take. I also eat a fairly clean diet for the most part. I've been "casually" stepping it up a bit and working myself back in to better shape with the plan to hit it a bit harder over the next few weeks. I've discovered that I've barely made any progress at all when probably just a couple years ago, I would have already noticed some progress. Guess i'm going to have to step it up even more.  :sdeek:
