Officially old

[randal]

"Finger up the um no harm done" long as the Dr is generous with the lube . On that note I had mine checked about 4 years ago in Hospital by a female Dr who looked about 21yrs so I knew I was getting old (over 50) she was quite attractive too

Internal monologue: "Don't get a boner, don't get a boner, don't get a boner. Please, please, please don't get a boner"

When you know what vitamin regrows your dwindling muscles and peepee at what dose

But worse...they dwindle again if you stop

Landed a date with one of the bar staff a few weeks back.

Conversation touched upon the Sept 11th attacks. Told her I was walking back from college when I heard it happened. She replied with "Yeah, that happened before I was even born..."

December I be going to the hospital for a full body health checkup as I be 40 that month.

You cradle snatcher!

I feel your pain. Getting proper flirty with one of the nurses at work to the point where, when our shift patterns align, we're probably going to end up going out. What threw me though is when she mentioned her parents, her dad is 7 years younger than me.

The benefits of going to the gym for the past 15 years regularly. Keeps me in good shape to attract women nearly half my age

Then I go to martial arts, spar against the same age range and get reminded they have youth on their side to cover from punches quicker, I dont

Bonus. If it doesn't work out, then that means her mum is potentially a backup option (or even if it does work out... )

Yeah, you know you're being unrealistic with the daughter when someone tells you the mother is too young for you.

I find myself having to use subtitles a lot more, particularly with yank programs/films.

Either they're speaking more indistinctly, or my brain is getting more addled.

I suspect a bit of both.

And instead of a volume control, you search for a way to make the subtitles bigger

Nowt wrong with my hearing, it's my ability to understand wtf they're saying!

I've found this too, but I think it's more the dynamic range of audio in some films & TV programs. 30 million dB music and explosions, -50db dialogue

Needing reading glasses for fine print was my "wake up call" that my physical age and mental age had diverged. Visions still fine past 1ft but inside that it's an absolute blurry mess

Doesn't help matters that the small print on the back of food, for example, is getting ridiculously small.

The difference there is that they don't actually want you to read it...

I knew I was old when I had to buy varifocal glasses to be able to see anything closer than about 1M.
However, I recently changed my main 4k monitor to 125% for the first time. Much easier to read now.

Yeah using the proper cinema speakers and the centre helps a bit but it feels like it's intentionally mixed to screw me over sometimes.

When you realise “ladies only - am I attractive?” is now old enough to drive a car.

Edit: almost!

That's terrible sound mixes that's the problem. I sometimes switch the subtitles on but often turn the volume up for dialogue and down for action. It's because they only do surround sound mixes for films now so if you're using a stereo TV it's terrible. They don't release a stereo sound mix for home releases because it would cost money.

Last night I had to take a food box into computer room where I have a table magnifying glass with light on it.
