I have wrinkles, I have grey hair, I have back problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, I can’t remember anything, the world seems confusing and complicated to me now and I wish things were simpler (which is why I like Lemmy). I definitely don’t get kids today or their music.

How am I so old?

    Come on kid. You’re still pretty young! I’m 58 and aside from the damn arthritis and multiple surgeries with my wrists and hands, I’m okay. Like @[email protected], mine would have also been a typewriter in that case. I love tech and try to keep up as best I can. I absolutely love music and try keep up and am always seeking new and undiscovered music in the genres that I love which spans so many genres.

    For getting older, we just got to take care of ourselves as best we can. Eat not terribly, get a bit of exercise. Even if it’s just taking care of the yard or walking the dog. Take your meds if you have them. Please do this part. I lost a really good friend at 52 because he didn’t take his high blood pressure medication.

      I definitely keep up with my meds. I have a chronic nerve condition and I would be in a ton of pain if I didn’t. So it’s not hard for me to remember to take cholesterol and BP meds at the same time. Thanks!

      Haha, sexagenarian power, well almost for you, a couple years, but you can be in my club anyway.
