Popular Post jukel123 8,316 Posted January 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13 A big hollow appears on your couch where you usually sit. You wake up with a mysterious pain in places where you didn't even know you had muscles or ligaments . You feel the cold more and start wearing thermal underclothes but keep it quiet. You religiously pick up litter near your house and don't care if people see you doing it. When your Mrs says "does my bum look big in this?" You say kindly " no way, its great." Whereas years ago you would have said, just for devilment, " course it does you've got a big bum" and then legged it before she slaps you. You calendar is full of various medical appointments. You start to show your Mrs ' man jobs' like where to find the stopcock of the house, where to pour windscreen fluid and how to inflate the car tyres. Cos times encroaching fast and you might not be around for much longer. You attend funerals on a monthly basis. Your Christmas card list gets shorter and shorter as people disappear off the planet. You feel tiny next to young men. You realise your spine has compressed and your muscle mass has diminished. You get pissed quicker but if you overdo it the hangover makes you feel closer to the grim reaper. You see girls in their party frocks in the middle of a winter's night and instead of thinking, I know what I'd do with her. You worry about them being cold and getting home safe. You go into Mc Donald's with your grandkids and feel completely confused but bluff you know how to order from a thing with buttons on the wall. You fart spectacularly like a horse. You get shocked when you look in a mirror and see a little bald headed old man the spit of your grandad. When you go swimming, you dive in, surface and instinctively flick the hair out of your eyes even though you've shaved your head for the last forty years. You become a lot kinder to people as you realise the pressure everybody is under. You become anonymous, especially to women who just see you as that old bloke like all the rest. Abroad, youngsters are very respectful to you and offer to give up their seat on public transport. If you take a tumble, nobody laughs and get concerned instead. Lol. Hope that cheered you up and prepares you for the future. 12 3 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,342 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I am embracing it, my favourite is to sit at the kitchen table and give absolute nonsense shit pearls of wisdom to my grown kids ! I like to finish off with telling everyone within earshot that “they don’t the meaning of hard work/pain/fighting/mountain climbing/flying the dam busters mission/being an astronaut/any given kind of suffering/hardship etc etc…” I can rest easy for the evening then ! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
