You cannot receive your official "ol man" certificate until:

You back a Buick into a parked car
You leave said Buick running because you forget to push button
The kid at the store offers to help load... (insert light item here)

When you walk into a bar and the cute gal tending bar catches your eye looking familiar and you realize it's one of your friend's daughters that was born when you were already a grown man.

So you just order your drink, tell her hello and ask her to say hi to her mom and dad when she gets home.

If I was in doubt, some herniated discs out of nowhere and ensuing surgery aged me rapidly.

You could have stopped at "Buick."

When I turned 25 and would finish peeing, no more pee comes out, put my little dude away, then proceed to pee 5-7 more drops

When you pull over on the interstate because you saw “a good 2x4” lying in the road.

Paying for some Casino crab and they gave me $2 off for being 55. With each crab I ate I remembered it. Somber mood till I got enough beer and crab in me to forget about it.

Yeah, I look at them and wonder how good they are with money and if she can handle being a part of the family etc.

It’s all about protecting the family assets.

"Close the door you're letting the AC out".

Now, I will tell you logically it doesn't make sense. Cool air isn't finite and doesn't hurt the system unless the door is left open for hours.

But somehow it just makes sense to gripe about slow moving children and kin folk.


I just told my doc I do not want to be 45 and slow, sore, and overweight. Nearly the same age. We are considering testosterone, which is a lot better than the urologist I have seen in the past. This guy wants me in shape, so I am hoping we can be in agreement on getting the hormone numbers in check.

You are a pup enjoy it.

I was still strong and felt much younger than my age pre covid bs. I was still working out with 6 plates plus etc etc Then I caught cancer and almost died and I feel my age maybe older.

Your actual age is irrelevant. How you feel is what matters. It’ was like almost 60 for me

Hey, I turn 65 Tuesday and fell 46. I’ve been blessed with good genetics I guess. Plus all the surgeries and other events I’ve gone through the last 10 years. In November I was septic and weighed 106 lbs. quit drinking and now I’m a solid 195 and blood work came out perfect the other day. Mind over matter.

Everything is sore after doing basic chores. Getting out of bed is hard as hell.
