I have a 2gal plastic bucket in the kitchen, and WE make lots of veggie scraps! And I have a big ole plastic trash can outside back by what I call the Survivor Tree! Where we empty the indoor compost bucket when it gets kinda full! It's a bird feeder too! I drilled 1/2 inch holes all over it so it's like a worm dispenser for birds! John Kuthe...

wuzzzer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 ...you wake up at 5am with a stabbing pain in the middle of your back that's so bad it takes you about 15 minutes just to get out of bed. I guess turning the big 44 last month has me heading downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sign you need to not harass your wife, well it could be anyway. 5 hours ago, mr clean said: Im going to be 56 the 25th of this month. It does not get any better! Sure it does, those minor little pains will be nothing, when bigger problems happen. Been luck so far anyway, will be 62 in a couple months, but going to the doctor tomorrow. Just a general check and blood check, since I haven't been in 30+ years, except for a dermatologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a general check and blood check, since I haven't been in 30+ years, except for a dermatologist. Just be prepared. I hadn't been in the hospital since 1973, then I passed a kidney stone last June. The hospital threw every specialist on their staff at me, just looking for things that "must be" wrong with a 59-year-old. A whole bunch of really frightening tentative diagnoses and a whole bunch of tests later, I was pronounced "in amazing health". Their words, not mine. Then a bunch of other nasty stuff happened, but that's a different story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess turning the big 44 last month has me heading downhill. Don’t you know, our “warranty” expires at about age 45? After that, your immune system weakens, and so do a number of other parts of your body. Why is that? It’s because you’ve had time to produce offspring and raise them to independence. Therefore, you’ve fulfilled your duty to the human race, and now you’re no longer needed. Time to start fading away, until one day you’re left to drift away on an ice floe by yourself, because you can’t hunt any longer, and the food you eat can go to the kids instead. That made sense when lives were much shorter, but even if science and society have changed a great deal in the last 10,000 years (or 500 years in the Far North), that’s not very long in evolutionary terms. Therefore, it may be 50 or 100 more generations before your descendants will be healthy and vigorous into their seventies or later. How do you feel now? Actually, grandparents are useful to the race, due to the wisdom they’ve accumulated and can share, so they will stay alive longer year after year. They’ll just continue to feel really old, for the next several centuries at least. I’ll stop typing now. The older I get, the more talkative (and typative. How do you like that word?) I become, thus the posting and commenting late into the night and into the early morning. Oh yeah, I said I was going to stop. Later, fellow old dudes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 You ask the Doctor at the mental hospital how do folk end up there? Doc says very simple really. I have a patient conduct a simple test. I show them a bathtub full of water. They are given a tablespoon a pail, and a mop.Then asked what to use to empty the tub, asked which item they would use... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2019 The good thing is when trouble starts they look at the old guy last. You can get away with much more if your old, no one pays attention to you as a trouble maker. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the tablespoon if I was getting paid to empty it by the hour.🥄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
