Mostly, I don't have a problem with aging. The things that irritate me the most are the things that no longer work like they used to. I NEED TO BITCH, PEOPLE. Vent away folks.

Digestion! Amiright? :meh:

I appear to be developing arthritis in my right shoulder (at least that's my guess, because I didn't hurt it any other way), which makes sleeping uncomfortable. Even laying on my left side, if my right arm falls loose it can be painful.

I used to be a human garbage disposal for ice cream, now I need to limit that stuff. I don't, but I need to.

My lower back has become nearly useless.

You work out quite a bit, too, don't you? Fuck these bodies built to last 25 years for an ape's lifestyle.

Every single part of me is operating at like 70% efficiency. Nothing is bad enough to see a doctor about but everything kind of sucks.

I've got arthritis in my thumbs (thanks Dad!) and it's a dull bitch. They don't hurt enough to limit much but I'm always aware.

I'm ok with the digestion thing but there are things I used to love that I can't have much of anymore. Whiskey is fine if I have one, have it early, and eat afterwards. A 9PM whiskey is a recipe for heartburn.

I am grumpier and have no tolerance for small talk with strangers.

I enjoy tea more than ever.

My body is a temple. Problem is it feels like it's been bombed by basque separatists.

My body is a temple: it’s in ruins and no one has worshiped there in living memory.

I had to cut back heavily when the pain started. My doc prescribed physical therapy, so as soon as I have time for that, it will hopefully get me back on track.

Same, and the worst thing is as a result I throw a ball like a girl so I have to go underarm 😞

Yeah, I'll never throw anything ever again if it means throwing like a girl.

The odd ache and pain the morning after a gig but otherwise I'm indestructible. Bad hangovers though, especially after a KISS thread.

If it helps, we truly respect the sacrifice that is made for our entertainment.
