The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
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.

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.

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.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
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.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
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.Silent Majority wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 1:11pmYou work out quite a bit, too, don't you?

Yeah, I'll never throw anything ever again if it means throwing like a girl.101Walterton wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 4:46pmSame, and the worst thing is as a result I throw a ball like a girl so I have to go underarmDr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 12:46pmI 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.

The odd ache and pain the morning after a gig but otherwise I'm indestructible. Bad hangovers though, especially after a KISS thread.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

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