Those two guys, Statler and Waldorf, were my dad's favorite Muppets because, he said, he could relate to them. Now I'm beginning to see that myself.

Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"
- Thread starter B-string

A couple more weeks of vaccination soak-in time and the wife and I are starting back at the gym...I really lost feeling of doing myself good when we dropped out in an effort to avoid social contact.
Most of mine are "the rewards of a misspent youth". Too much fatty foods, too much smoking (I quit 25 years ago), too much drink (quit that 15 years ago). Too many stupid physical events...athletic, military, employments. Jerry's quote comes to kind. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.
...and, my jam mates and I can restart in two weeks, for the first time in a year! Woohoo!

No waitstaff ever disputed my eligibility when ordering from the senior menu. Half the portion at 85% of the price. Yay. But it's the right amount of food for me. Maybe a little much. But not entirely happy that senior breakfast offerings always come with fruit. First it was the grapes and melon, then they came for me
applesauce cup and cranberry juice

It will good to get some excersize.
Luckily I can do all the excersize I want to do at home. And I just have to take one flight of stairs to have acces to a great threadmill. In the middle of the night and I can't sleep, I go down and go running for a bit until I'm tired.
Please accept my apologies. There was certainly no intent to offend you or anyone else.
People have said, 'why don't you just go for a walk? It's is as good excercise as a treadmill."
The trouble with that is if you get a half mile into your walk and your knee starts to hurt, you have a half mile walk back rather than to just get off the treadmill and sit down for a minute.

I've always looked like a kid. I've got plenty of gray hair, but it's only here and there, and it only looks like my hair has gotten a couple shades lighter brown. No deep facial lines or wrinkles. I mean, I see it, but others don't, and they think I'm in my forties. Whenever I'd order from the senior menu I'd wait to be found out for the imposter I am. But it never happened. But inside, I still felt funny doing it, as though I was getting away with something. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Ah, there are probably Chinese people of both kinds out there. I can certainly see that it could get abused where people will stash the food in a container and take it off premises.
Oh, exactly my friend, that's what I like about it.
Luckily I have the space for it; it's in a backroom of my business... so I'm not bothering anyone or anyone can bother me.
My mother gifted it to me after she gave up on it.
I also have two soccer fields and some meadows behind my place of dwelling.

oh absolutely this happens, and I can attach names to people who do this. People can become absolutely warped beyond recognition by poverty. Better to know these worlds exist, and they're so close that that the dividing line can be unclear. Blocks from Yale a homeless man urinates in public
That's your equinox right there
Perilously true.
The urination in the street thing can just be a local custom. I remember my dad telling me that while in France and caught up in traffic a man got out of his car and let it flow. Perhaps things have tightened up a bit since then.

I take care in neighborhoods not my own. "Text me when you get home," is a sentence every woman knows.
afterthought. Heck, I take care in my own neighborhood (peaceful that it may be).

Well... probably not for that guy.
I don't understand why my muscles are stronger than my ligaments. It would be better if the ligaments were stronger and you didn't have the strength to lift things.
They don't tell you that at 20 you are at your peak. It's all down hill after that. Some of us slide faster than others.
