I'm Lame - and Old

My wife and kids are gone for the weekend on a mini vacation and I stayed in last night and watched a UFC repeat. When did I get old. (Not that I really was a partier to begin with but still)

Hey Blue, how do I deal with it.

the first real indications that you are getting old is when you see three generations of women, And think the older one is hot.



You catch yourself telling that cute waitress at the bar to go home and get her mother.

you stop buying the playboy channel for the golf channell.

How can this post be taken seriously?

I've met you and that baby face tells me you're just a kid. You're only old in spirit. That's what being married and spawning will do to you though. Suck the life right out of you. Don't have regrets though, the following will also suck the life out of you:

Working
Having a mortgage
Car payments
Television
Video games
Junk food
Shopping for unnecessary items
Having to wear a suit
(The list goes on and on actually)

I remember back in the 60s (Yes, Kobi is older than you) there used to be commercials on TV for Geritol. These came on during every commercial break of the Lawrence Welk Show, which Grandma Kobi watched all the time. (Ahhhh...summer visits to NJ . . . but that's another story)

Anyway, this Geritol crap supposedly addressed the problem of Iron Poor Blood. Evidently (at least in the 50s and 60s anyway) this was an ailment of pandemic proportions. According to the experts at Geritol Headquarters, taking their tonic would bring you back to life and give you the vitality of a 20 something.

Don't know if it worked and don't know if the product is still in existence, but if it is you might want to check it out.

(That and prune juice. I seem to remember that America suffered from mass constipation back in those days.)

If it's still around, and you try it, let me know how it works.

Having a mortgage - Check
Car payments - Check
Television - Check
Video games - Check

Having to wear a suit - oh I don't have this one.


No wonder I'm old.

It's all mental, you just don't allow yourself to think "old". I always think I'm in my prime. Worked so far.

You are definitely NOT old!!! I'm old, you're just a kid.

Funny getting older story:
My brother-in-law was so excited when my sister took him to Hooters for his birthday last year. Afterwards he admitted it wasn't as much fun as he thought it would be, he kept thinking "This could be my daughter she's alomst the same age as these girls"

since you have deemed yourself old it is now time to find some flashy toy to invest in for your mid-life crisis.

Well this old man managed to get my dash put back in the stang today.

Got the floorboards sanded and primed and ready for new carpet.

I think I screwed something up putting the steering column in because the airbag light is blinking and the key won't start the car.

The battery is basically dead but when it is jumped to the truck I can start the car with a screwdriver across the starter screws.

Thats ussually an indication of a bad solienoid.

The Air bag light may or may not be connected, but I know it can do some crazy things. The one on my wifes exploder has gone out 3-4 times... When it goes out then you turn the key and get nothing then about 2 seconds later all 4 door locks will actuate 4-5-6 times really quick like your tapping the unlock button really really really fast. Change the solinoid, car starts and everything is normal.
