Getting Old...

Black Diamond · May 2010

Got my new glasses on Saturday

Bi-focals (Well the blended no-line type but still)

Man, WTF.... :evil:

I had my two totally wore out arms and one leg replaced with bionic limbs. I should have done both legs. Now I can run in a circle faster than anyone I know.

Well at least it your wife won't have to use the tumble dryer so much any more, just tie the washing to your arms and away you go.

bifocals?
i wore glasses, for distance, since like 2nd grade. then got contacts as an early teen...then went and got corrective laser surgery 10 years ago. had 20/20 vision for a solid decade, but they have regressed some now.

however, i don't *have* to wear corrective lenses, so i don't. i know my vision is no longer *perfect* i can see it now, but it's still damn good. i found the more i wore my glasses/contacts, the more i needed them. so i am avoiding going back to them as long as possible. either way tho, i was damn happy that my near vision was/is still utterly perfect. small victories eh?

now, you want to talk grey hair..... :shock:

Know that one well, went to get my eyes tested now long after my 40th and had to get reading glasses, the bastard told me it was my age - not what I wanted to hear when I'd just turned 40!

Fortunately, I have absolutely no grey hair (thanks to my hair dye)

That might work. She can't chain me to the tree in the backyard anymore... after a few seconds I have totally wrapped it around my legs, fallen over, and started choking myself.

honestly, i never had a problem with my greys. i think i got my first SO young, around age 16...didn't phase me. however, i think my grey hairs reminded mr. dream that he was getting old

.....so i do dye it now. so yea, i'm a redhead nowadays instead of my very dark brown with grey streaks.

just when i DO let the roots go a bit too long, like just recently....and i take a look it's like :shock: ...whoa!

Yes, your once black coat is turning a little white. It's all across your muzzle and up into your eyebrows! You wear it well though. Your ability to type still amazes me.

i understand that. hahaha.
and i am not much for beards in any case - tho another thread topic

- but when mr. dream would grow one, well there's blonde, bit of brown, red....and grey. so needless to say, he doesn't even want to try and grow another beard.

i found a grey eyebrow hair....once. was like, wtf?! :twisted:

Dont have too many greys yet, but I cant understand why my ears decided to suddenly grow so much hair...oh yeah, it must be my body evolving to protect my hearing from all the loud PJ shows.

that Y chromosome?
besides deciding to make you a boy...also gives you the ability to grow excess hair in the ears/nose. yep. that's all it's good for; a willy and excess cavity hair.

No one has mentioned "body aches " my knees hurt most of the winter, especially if the temps drop below 20 degrees. Now I'm really feeling "old"

Getting Old...
