Attention Signs you're getting old.

omg...I feel like 80 today.

I have everything from post herpetic pain in my head 6 years after shingles...to pain from sciatica down my right thigh and leg.

Enough complaining...I have to go and take my 6 meds before dinner.

So you feel younger?

Once I finish looking at my portrait in the attic...you are in such trouble.

I get mail with ridiculous credit card offers. Today was Wells Fargo, who HAD my truck loan only because that's how the dealer worked the deal. I can apply for the Wells Fargo Reflect Visa® Card. Limit is not mentioned. 0% APR for 21 months, a weird number. And then they will bless me with a 24.74% variable APR. And no annual fee.

What a deal! Jeebus, 25% interest? Who goes for that?

 

[gsdx]

^ Who would go for those? The same people who would rent-to-own from Aaron's.

Edit: And Payday Loans.

 

[smokeshadow]

remember the smell of sulfer after firing one of these?

 

[gsdx]

^ I remember even after all these years. And anyone who didn't have a cap pistol would just buy a roll of caps, roll it out on the sidewalk, and smack it with a rock.

how about popping a wheelie? The only thing missing are the playing cards pinned to the wheel spokes for that realistic "vrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooom" sound

I never did that, but the card pinned to the wheel... definitely!
Those banana seats were awful by the way...

 

[gsdx]

^ But every boy wanted one.

20" bike Banana Saddle Bicycle Black/Silver/Flame. - Walmart.com

Arrives by Tue, Nov 28 Buy 20" bike Banana Saddle Bicycle Black/Silver/Flame. at Walmart.com

They are more commonly called a 'banana saddle', these days --- which kinda sounds like something you might call a condom. LOL

I've popped a wheelie while sitting on a banana lots of times.

I could not convince my parents to buy me a bike like the one in the image I posted. I had, at the time, a full size, adult 26 inch bicycle; and, all my parents did was have the bike shop add a banana seat in place of the regular saddle. And, PalacePaul, you are very correct, those banana seats were AWEFUL

 

[Kahaih]

/\ I've read that the banana seats were first intended for two riders. Cozy, actually.

But, they are also good for riders who spend a lot of time standing up and sitting back down --- easily finding/catching the seat.

So, I suppose it depends on activities and terrain as to how useful/practical the seat is.

My buddies and I must have traveled hundreds of miles on cow paths with our bikes.

Those little banana seat bikes are great for leaving skid marks on the sidewalk. Can you relate?

 

[smokeshadow]

if you know what this is. . .and, even utilized one in high school, you are definitely over 60
