Yep and my eyesight went to shite right around 44. I've had great eyesight most of my life before that.

I’m gonna be 43 later this month. Only thing I’ve noticed really dramatic so far is the eyesight.


The readers came in for me at 47.

I just got a pair of progressives for distance and reading.

But I’m a woman so I’ve already hit the wall, right?

Felt great from age 0-43. I'm about to turn 45 in a couple of weeks. Over the last year the amount of gray hair on my head has exploded exponentially, started having back issues, and I got arthritis in my hands. Hooray for getting old!

Now my gray hairs are more prominent, but I'm in way better shape at 41 than I was at 31. With a better lifestyle and diet I'll see what happens in 3 years.

An example is Biden. Look at the difference between when he was running the first time when he was jogging up to the stage and now when he looks very unstable. Time is undefeated…

It's the truth!

Turned 45 in February. Back surgery in April, again in May, and again in July.

It starts with eyesight going bad. Then you start noticing things like cuts taking longer to heal or hangovers and colds being harder to get over. Then internal problems start, like acid reflux or high blood pressure. Then joint and muscle problems creep in. Grey hairs then launch their assault, beginning with the 'soft underbelly' of the chin, then invading from the east and west above the sideburns.


This is going down at 38

I remember around 48... I was getting in the car and saw my reflection in the car window and thinking ''who the F*CK is that guy''!

I think even when you're seeing yourself in the bathroom mirror, it's to quote The Matrix, your ''residual self image", which I think for me is around 25.
