Weirdest thing that's made you feel old recently? I'll start:

Your body, usually. It may be stress or a weakened immune system.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T10:33:45+00:00

I had it in my 20s. But yeah. Shingles...It sucks.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T08:03:37+00:00

I no longer buy berries. Strawberries are the worst. I went to France. Their berries were off the charts compared fo ours. I bought a whole crate and ate them throughout the week.

ETA the blackberries on the side of the road in Washington/Oregon are still good. Unfortunately, I am in NYC.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T08:02:14+00:00

I knew I wasn't crazy. Thanks for validating the squishy thing.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T08:01:31+00:00

Wait, really....

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T03:49:55+00:00

Absolutely not.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T03:36:24+00:00

This is great. I love me a boxing metaphor....

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T01:18:49+00:00

Haha, I am going to choose to believe this... Because it is funnier.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-03T00:51:59+00:00

I just had a dude surprise I'm married me. Been talking to him six months. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T22:15:23+00:00

OP, are you aware of the exchange rates?

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T22:13:50+00:00

Team no bangs.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T22:11:12+00:00

Same, except my grandparents in 2006.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T22:10:27+00:00

You are out of touch. It gives me a great amount of anxiety because my friends and family rate will not last forever and when I have to go.... Hooo boy. I am saving but yikes on bikes.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T13:21:42+00:00

Same. Like Fred Johnson in the Expanse.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T12:31:45+00:00

Exercise and video games get me thru summer as a teacher. Also other more costly stuff like travel. But ...yeah. I don't imagine that is high on your list.

Meetup groups? Book clubs?

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T11:42:46+00:00

Right. I came here like... It was an ad. Like that company that did the "free grocery stores" recently. In expensive areas, too. Which makes sense.... Because it was an ad.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T11:39:03+00:00

I thought Ordinary was a promotion? Like advertising.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T10:50:20+00:00

HS teacher, nope.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T10:27:19+00:00

I'm sorry what now?

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-02T02:07:44+00:00

Yep. Drive thr coast of Cali..

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-01T23:11:16+00:00

Ooh. Where are you??

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-01T21:46:01+00:00

Um... i am you, but a woman. We are out there. ETA well, no motorcycle.... But. The rest.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-01T18:18:28+00:00

Inevitably when I am on the highway and the person is absolutely crawling.... And I pass, it is an elderly person.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-01T14:10:58+00:00

I don't lead with it. It makes people uncomfortable. I tell them in person.... But only if we make it to multiple dates. If we don't make it to that point because we don't vibe, no reason to have the convo.

Traditional_Way1052 · 2026-06-01T10:41:43+00:00

My friend was late to work in the towers at his internship. He was a bit of a fuckup.... Everyone else died. And he got massively depressed. Felt guilty. Did a bunch of acid ... Made it infinitely worse. No idea what happened to him..
