  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Attention Signs you're getting old.

I recently turned 40. A number of weeks ago, I had to climb into the attic. Had to go into a smaller space than I'd like to. Both my legs were held tight to my body when I had a cramp in one of my legs. I had to in a hurry reposition my body to straighten out my leg. That was totally unexpected because I always thought I keep myself in shape enough for something like that.

That was when I realized I don't do enough stretching and stuff when I work out. Been trying to focus on stretching and limber up ever since.

Growing old scares me. Everytime I see an old person having trouble doing something, I make a mental note to exercise so I don't end up like that. I can still do a dozen pull-ups at a time. I guess I'm using that as a metric. If/when I can't do any pull up, I'll really panic.

Cramps are often caused by dehydration. Try adding more electrolytes as well.

I get leg cramps in bed once in a while....like maybe once or twice a year. I have the leg cramp pills next to my bed by hyland. They work great. Again, mostly from dehydration.
 
Growing old? Don't sweat it. It just gets worse. But you get smarter which is a plus. How did your parents and grands age?

Wear hearing protection while mowing or shooting. Seriously. Always. The cicadas that run in my head once is a while is actually ok.... I'm in the middle of almost 40 acres and this morning I could hear chickens and roosters from three directions. And a donkey that must be more than a mile away.

Keep doing your pull-ups. Don't get fat.
 
You wander through a store, where you see products from a company that is owned by a bigger company. They currently make everything in China. You remember a time when that same company was independent and made everything in the US.
 
I wonder how long it'll be before I cave to reading glasses. I'm holding out, partly because the idea makes me feel old. But I'm noticing that tiny print is less readable than was once the case. Sigh.

I might steal a page from my father's book on cheapness. He wore glasses for readng off and on in my memory, but it apparently became more of a necessity when he was a bit older than I am now. At that point, he opted for cheap non-prescription glasses from a drug store. They apparently worked fine for him, and he liked the price. It was cheap enough that he could have several pairs, kept in various locations.
 
I remember an antique store owner I was acquainted with. She apparently would get lots of stuff from estates or whatever that included glasses. She'd try the glasses on, and she'd keep the ones that seemed to work.
 
And I have published a thread about how sitting down is the only proper way to empty your bladder.

But in the nighttime...I will sometimes still imagine that I can remain upright because sitting down is too much work.
I've almost always sat down to pee when getting up from bed at night. First of all, I'm blind without my glasses and would not be able to aim. Second, at night I have almost no pressure (weak stream) and it takes me a minute. I know that my caffeine intake causes my urge to go just like taking a water-pill for high blood pressure control. If I have no caffeine after Noon I can make it all night with a trip to the bathroom. But I guess I'm too addicted and can't stop until 3 to 5pm.

Hell my ass is so blind I wear glasses and I bought one of these. . .


Should be here tomorrow. Hope it works. I couldn't do audio books.
 
When you find one of the kids you used to babysit greeting you to Walmart.
 
Who is going to be first to admit to using a piss bottle instead of staggering to the bog in the dark at 4am. Oh that's disgusting I hear you say. Yes, fair comment.
At least I'm not pissing in a brightly lit warehouse like they do at Amazon.
 
When I was growing up, chamber pots were de rigeur at my grandparents house because who wanted to stumble down a flight of stairs and go out to the outhouse?

Nothing shameful about cheating.
 
I get up to pee twice per night. I sometimes am so tired I start to doze off on the bowl. :LOL:
 
As I read some of the above, I remembered part of a mystery novel (The Plain Old Man by Charlotte MacLeod). A quote:

"You have an old man who has to pee and is reluctant to get up, do you not? You also have an old man, although perhaps you didn't know this, who has inherited a solid silver pot de cambre with matching lid, said to have been sat on by no less a personage than General Lafayette on his return to the United States of America as guest of the nation in 1784. Charlie came to the conclusion some time ago that what was good enough for Lafayette was good enough for him."
