The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

See, where I am from, there are nothing but white people, so any time I pass a Cracker Barrel, I just start laughing. Y'all would have asked me to leave at some point...

I did make quite a scene in that one...people couldn't stop staring.

Look at the bright side of advanced aging (not that I would know- I'm not there yet):
You can hide your own Easter Eggs.
You can watch then same great movies and read the same great books over and over and never get tired of them.
It takes less to get you toasted (take that any way you want).
You have more staying power in the sack (ditto the above).
I'm sure there' more but I've forgotten them at the moment.

Well, I went to the eye doctor on Monday...and when she asked "have you noticed any changes?" I said, "yes, I can't really see teeny tiny print with my glasses or contacts on..." and then I started laughing because I started to remember this thread...ear hairs, bifocals, etc.
Anywho...I was told I need reading glasses. 1.00 strength. I think I will still put them off since I really only need to see when the lighting is bad.

I eat supper (yeah i call it supper now) at 4:45 and put on a pot of coffee at 5 - then sit in the window and watch the neighbors get home from work til the news comes on.
Louis CK said this in a show I saw recently about aging. He said you get to a point in life where you can be sitting on the couch and you have to get up to wipe your ass for some reason.

Oh the days of 20/20 vision! Actually, when I was in my twenties I had 20/15 vision which was great! (explained here: http://www.eyecaretyler.com/2020.htm )
Now I have an astigmatism and need reading glasses and distant glasses (i.e. bifocals only with two separate pairs of glasses). My optometrist did say, however, that I have no signs of glaucoma and asked if I smoked pot. I actually changed optometrists after that because the way he asked it was kind of creepy.
Love those old smileys, RKCNDY!

Ha! Ahhhh Brian, I was so happy when she told me my vision was in the 20/25 to 20/30 range. I was never told my vision for the last 15 years! Figured I was around 20/40-which is the minimum for driving, any worse than that and you are considered legally blind for driving. My astigmatism is so horrible, I have to get special order contacts.
(I love the old smileys and try to use them as much as possible!)

15 years- you held out a long time! Glad to hear your vision is better than you had expected!

I premeditated for glaucoma, back in the day.
a sign of my advanced age?.....if I smoke weed these days, I get stoned out of my mind.....today's pot bears little resemblance to the dirt weed I was weaned on.
