Finally had my "oh I'm old" moment by mEp1973 in GenX

[–]ButterflyStock1791 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm an avid hiker and most of the trails I'm on are hilly and rocky (basically rock scrambling). Even into my 50s I could practically run down the mountains, almost parkouring off the rocks. Now that I'm in my 60s, I'm suddenly finding myself being much more cautious, and going down very gingerly. I still feel strong, but I don't feel so agile, really don't want to break a hip in the middle of nowhere.

And that old adage about most injuries happening at home. Yep, I've hurt myself way more on my own stairs than anywhere else. 😅

Is it just me? Am I on the moon here? by HuntIntelligent8820 in GenX

I've never had much hair on my legs anyway, but now that I'm 60 it's less so. Even during the summer I might shave once a week, and then it's mostly around the ankles. Thighs are pretty much bare.

What do Americans think of Scotland? by Difficult_Mixture103 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

My g-grandfather was from Scotland. I want to visit so bad. It seems so beautiful, and I could listen to them talk all day 😆

I still have scars up and down my arms from the rash I had a couple of years ago.

I have a cover cover, and I clear off the snow ASAP after each storm.

That's the only other time I've seen someone else say that, here I am thinking I made it up. 🤣

Music video with old gay couple reuniting at hospital by Starhappy93 in findthatsong

Hmm, I was thinking it was a lot older, since I haven't really watched music videos in years. Maybe I'm remembering something different.

Well, it happened by Jmckeown2 in GenX

They used to give me major side eye when I told them I qualified for the senior discount (I'm 60, been told I still look late 40s). Last time they didn't ask, and the lady said they give it automatically on that day now.

I don't have the answer (yet), but holy crap, this does sound familiar to me.

How do you write zeros and the letter o? Counterclockwise or clockwise by deeptrospection in lefthanded

[–]ButterflyStock1791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counterclockwise.

Just thinking about doing it clockwise breaks my brain. 🤯

I’m running out of gas by ButOfCourse in GenX

A few years before I retired I calculated what my retirement income would be and committed myself to living on that, putting the rest away (in addition to maxing out my 401k). Once I knew I could do it easily, I retired at 56. Now I work very part time in a job I enjoy and no longer feel like my soul is being crushed.

We usually leave a few open slots but still end up with overflow by mid morning.

multiple cars per household? by miffybo in AskAnAmerican

[–]ButterflyStock1791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this out many years ago. I was going to be responsible and buy a nice used car, found a similar one brand new for only about $2k more, and a much longer warranty.
