OMG im getting old
 
for a few years now i have been getting a few grey hairs which so far have been kept at bay by using wet look gel and keeping my hair short,i have also started picking up various new aches and pains but pass these off as been due to my drunken antics and not old age but now it seems mother nature has preloaded the human being with thoughts that activate around a certain age

for the very first time ever while walking accross the landing it suddenly came to me that buying a pair of slippers would be a good idea for lounging around the house in and looking back a few weeks it has occured to me that i have started wearing a coat when going out on the town where as usually i would wear just a T-shirt or light fabric top no matter what the weather

if my kids by me slippers and a vest for xmas i know its game over for sure lol

anyone else showing signs that they arnt as young as they like to think they are lol

Earlier this summer I saw this young lad sat on the kerb cying his eyes out, so I asked him what was wrong, he just said "I can't do what the big boys do" so I sat down and cried with him:D

Re: OMG im getting old
 
At just turned 17 (turn 17 round and you get 71) I reckon I can speak with some authority on getting old.

I’ve worn slippers in the house for as long as I can remember right from childhood. So wearing slippers is not a sign of growing old. Just common sense and comfort.

Galloping through the years does have advantages not least of which is gaining experience.

But the main advantage of growing old is that you haven’t died young.

Re: OMG im getting old
 
I have felt old since Jack came along.
I no longer have the energy to run around like i did with my little brothers and when he jumps on me to play (Jack that is) i find myself telling him to get off, rather than joining in.
At the park i used to love competing with my brothers on the swings(up to being 20), now i push jack and stand there thinking 'im dying for a cuppa'.
The only time i revert back to boundless energy and feeling entirely youthful is CHRISTMAS :D :D :D

Re: OMG im getting old
 
yep its all down hill now: I know I am getting older... don't like most of today's music, have not got a clue what is number one in the charts... I no longer dive out of bed or into it: and my face takes longer to get into one fit to be seen in public: too old for an 18/30 holiday ( that is my bed time )
but on the bright side... I am not old enough for a SAGA one ..... so I guess there is still a bit of life in me:

You've reached rock bottom if you've done that, I'm afraid. ;)

All the other things you mentioned can be forgiven............but not that one. If you've done that then you qualify for old man status. :D

I do plenty of things that would qualify me for old biddy status.........leccy blanket in bed, slippers in the house, a liking for Rich Tea biccies, but never have I gone on a night out wearing a coat. That's the ultimate one!

Will not wearing a coat kill me? :eek:

When you add up the amount of time actually spent outside on a night out it doesn't amount to much, does it?

A few seconds as you hop out of the taxi, a couple of minutes here and there in between pubs and then another few seconds back to the taxi at the end of the night.

If you take a coat you're stuck with it all night, along with your bag and bevvy etc.

accyman 08-12-2008 15:55
Re: OMG im getting old
 
lol not entirely true

i once had a senior moment and went out down accy wearing a cardigan and ended up disposing of it in a very efficient manner

only problem was that when i sobered up and reflected on how much the beer goggles had effected my judgment i decided not to turn up for the date the next day to collect my cardigan and found it to be a lot less hassle to by another one instead lol

garinda may recall this as the great cardigan caper lol

he wouldnt look after it so i dumped it on some chick rather than lump it around all night lol

in my defence i was very drunk and younger lol

jaysay 08-12-2008 16:04
Re: OMG im getting old
 
Remember many years ago when my local was the Hargreaves Arms, in Accy there was an old chap used to come in called Bert. This day he came in a said to the Landlord, give us a double whisky its mi birthday today, a young lad stood next to him asked how old he was, 80 was the reply, I don't want to live till I'm 80 says the lad, but oud Bert turned round and said tha would if tha were 79:D

When you expose your body to cold, your blood retreats from your skin to concentrate on keeping your body core temperature at safe levels.
Your blood thickens and your blood pressure increases which increases risk of thrombosis -if you don't believe me read this

Other than the addition of a few years, I don't think I've changed all that much fundamentally ... It used to be sex,:alright: drugs,:D and rock and roll:theband: ... now the sex is a little less athletic, the drugs are kinder and gentler, and the rock and roll is now called "classic rock" ... but it's all still there.;)

You go on about a few grey hairs like it was a disaster. :eek:

My hair went completely grey when I was 30 and so did one of my brothers'. OK, so I dyed it until I was 60 but then I decided to leave it to Nature and - it looks great.

I may be heading towards my 3 score years and ten but I'm always dressed by, at least, 9.30 and I always "put my face on" - even if no one sees it but my daughter and granddaughter. Slippers - I have some, I think they're in the wardrobe - and my dressing gown is a chocolate brown velour caftan.

Getting old is a state of mind. My body's cracking up but I'm damned if my mind's going to go into "little old lady" mode without a fight. :D

There,s no escape, you are going to get old! The alternative stinks. You can either do it gracefully or do it screaming and fighting, your choice. I,m middle aged, cough, I still do everything I did in years past, sometimes a little slower and sometimes it takes a little longer to recover but what the heck, now, I have all the time in the world.
