Things getting old has taught you

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

There's a great future in plastics.

Pace yourself.

**TBS** · 10-20-2018, 03:24 PM

Keep the helmet side above the rubber/ptex side at all times.
No air longer than 2 seconds
Keep F>1.6E where F=fun and E=effort
Oh yea, and the timeless wisdom of my grandpa - "You'll never win a fartin' contest with a horse's ass"

Nothing. I’ve learned absolutely nothing.

You only get one skeleton, only one brain. That glory doesn’t mean shit when you can’t remember where your car keys are and it hurts like hell to hobble up the stairs to look because you gloriously used up your cartilage being fast and loose.

haha i swallowed that shit hook line and sinker!

Beware; the rock garden that got 4" of snow on top of it still contain rocks within it.

And to add more clarity.. That nagging back injury is never going to 100% heal and be as strong as it was at age 20.. and that annoying toe joint is also never going to stop feeling dislocated occasionally without surgery.

Fighting is not worth it anymore. No one just leaves it at that.
Example
Last hockey brawl somebody's girlfriend on the opposing team called the cops.

**Skistack** · 10-20-2018, 04:07 PM

Don’t worry about what you can’t control.

Try to find something to laugh about every day.

Be able to laugh at yourself

Or

Don't take yourself so seriously.

Love is the answer...
Of self and those around you

**JongDoe** · 10-20-2018, 04:26 PM

Have fun while you can. Too many people waiting for retirement bite it before they get there. Or when you do get there, you're too f'ing old to do all those things like you could when you were younger.

Also what ACH said above about laughing.

Many fights here someone pulls a gun and starts shooting.

Luckily we never dealt with that.
We used to fight like men not like punks and wimps.
When someone was down the fight was over.

This song plays in my head a lot lately:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can
When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

**Gepeto** · 10-20-2018, 04:52 PM

Patience is rarely endowed, it's learned. The longer you're here, the more you should have

**Meadow Skipper** · 10-20-2018, 04:53 PM

When I was young:
- I wasn’t as smart as I thought I was.
- My dad wasn’t as dumb as I thought he was.

And this old saying about aging is coming into play: Never pass by a urinal, never trust a fart, never waste a hard-on.

And, timely (for me) as I am presently listing to "Dogs" from their Animals LP.

That’s deep shit man.

**Meadow Skipper** · 10-20-2018, 05:17 PM

^Heh.

**rideit** · 10-20-2018, 05:23 PM

When it comes to bike riding, often slower ends up being faster.
Turtle and Hare...

**JimmyCarter** · 10-20-2018, 05:26 PM

Don't waste time with shitty people.
Do waste time with kids.

Don't ever take anything or anyone, including yourself, too seriously.

Still working on: Try not to judge people when you have no idea what they're going through.

And never believe the commercials that tell you a little one inch incision and laser surgery is going to bring smiles and joy back after you get that surgery.
