You know you are getting old,

when two pieces of cheese on a grilled cheese is too much. You also don't get mad anywhere as much, wait for news to develop before making a decision and open a post that upsets you and say "whatever, too much typing and I really don't care to argue with a lot of opinionated jerks that have a different opinion than I do lol. I hit that day today, at least for today. Maybe tomorrow two pieces of cheese will be just perfect.

when your employees are talking about a band and you are like "Is that really the name of a band?, sounds like they took two or three words that have nothing to do with each other and put them together." WTF does "Walk the moon" mean?

Which reminds me, I'm out of prunes. I think I threw the last of them at the kids walking across my lawn.

much younger.

I got the recipes and actual main ingredient of one of them. I prepared two by actual recipe and one a prepared mix.

They both tasted like crap.

THAT'S WHAT OLD AGE DOES TO YOU.

when I fell, tripped and slammed down on a brick courtyard 😑
I was walking sorta sideways lloking up for someone on the rooftop and when I thought I spied them picked up the pace and tripped over an electrical outlet box about 8-10" high with my right foot and slammed to the bricks... first thought 'who tackled me?' laying there and realizing I wasn't broken, got up, climbed a spiral staircase and onto the roof, which was my original endeavor...
my right side, shoulder elbow wrist took a smack, but my hip OY! has given me grief ever since...
I'm not complaining about aging just being more careful in the future, and eat all the cheese I want, so there is that 😜
I plan to live to see the orange idiot impeached and imprisoned and that is motivating me

to go out to a fine Asian Restaurant and eat like an Empress.. I love payday. Oh and for the following days to come, there is plenty of Cannabis... to make things a bit more pleasant.

before the trip to the Asian Restaurant! It makes everything taste INCREDIBLE!

Always remember, the times with no pot, but a pocket full of money are much worse than the times with a lot of pot, but no money. You can always afford a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, and even that tastes good when you're baked.

Cold weather trifecta, one of the perfect lunches.

The only challenge is timing, so that everything finishes together.

She was listening to a group, I said it sounded like crap.
I then said "It's not music it's just noise."

I then said "My God, I sound like my Dad..."

My niece cracked up laughing.

(I'm 57 BTW...)

As a soon to be 55 year old single male, I got to remind her (and her mom was echoing me) that I had changed lots of her own diapers when she wore them. With my luck, I got a stinky one, so she was quickly quieted when she doubted me.
