Thread: Aging

Aging gets a bad rap....for some good reasons which most of us know by now, either through direct experience or knowing those close to us who have reached a certain point (definitely not a fixed point). But some funny things happen when you age also...like a week or so ago I was accompanying my sidekick to a clinic for an MRI. We get almost to the elevators and I notice there is a large lump in my right calf. I reach down to feel it and realize it is a pair of underwear. When I hung up the jeans on a hook I hung up the underwear with them and they slipped inside the pants. I tell Ladygirl I think I have to hit the men's room before we go up for her appointment and I go in a stall and extract the extra pair I had with me that day. I wait until the coast is clear and drop them in the trash and cover them with a couple of paper towels, carry on to the MRI (negative) and wonder what the future will look like.....next time will I just walk outside in my underwear and forget my pants?

Static electricity from the dryer can cause socks and underwear to stick to the inside of pants legs. I have discovered other clothing items in my pants legs a couple of times due to this phenomenon.

At least that's what I tell myself.

And sometimes you don't even have to be "not as young" for the occasional mishap

Some folks age better than others. It's when you realize all those insults you threw at your body all those years begin to exact a price.

Mental aging is vastly different from physical aging. I have a feeling that by the time I transcend to the next plane my mental age will be within 10 years of my physical age. And that might be the straw that puts me over the line. I enjoy being a recalcitrant late teen, happy in my naive and ignorant state (for the most part).

You know you are physically aging when you do realize that there are changes going on in and to your body and you find that you are concerned about them.

I always thought aging is all about the early bird specials and pants with waistline at the chest...

The sad thing is you don't realise that until it is too late. It doesn't matter how many times you have been told, you have to learn the hard way.

And look whos talking, I wouldn't call myself exactly old. But some bodily abuse is already showing.

Another sign is that you look forward to, or miss having a good BM everyday.
