Signs We Are Getting Old

We had one of those mechanical ones too. I bet it's still in the drawer in my dad's house.

We will know we are beyond old and probably dead when cereal makers start using ziplock bags instead of those shitty wax ones that haven’t changed for 50 years

I know I'm old because I haven't eaten cereal in 40 years.

You’re old if you know who Euell Gibbons is

"Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible, you know".... Yeah, I qualify....

Potato chip bag clip ..... gomer.

Most of you married folk are used to being IN the hot water but if you run the hot water on just the lid it always lets go

Totally, I thought I was the only one who felt like this

In the AM you need protien but try cereal at night with Yogurt and in the AM you will just be a regular guy

Just knowing who Gallagher is qualifies one for this thread.

Seeing him live was such a good time.

I can't shit as well as I used to. Metamucil makes the problem worse. Even if I drink enough water, but definitely if I don't.

This isn't age, this is something that needs a diagnosis.

I eat 1 meal per day. No snacks, no desert, no sugars, very few carbs. Thanks boomer. I had a friend invite me out for tacos at 11:30 today. I was still processing my last night's dinner through my ass for the catch up round after my 2nd cup of herbal tea. Laps are sacred. I keep my colon clean. I look at every shit. I told him, you go ahead, I'll meet you later. I couldn't fathom having greasy food or any food in my belly at that time. I have a regular rotation of in and out, and there is no in and out in it. It's a budget and a health thing for me.

I worked for a very smart doc bitd who said that if I shit 2x per day there was a 99.00 percent chance I couldn't get colon cancer. I re-posited it to my long time PCP this year and he got back to me and said, "he was probably right".

I do enough outside of my very shitty genetics to hurt myself, diet is not one of them.

On a separate note, I think that it is a hudge anecdotal data point of only eating home made food from real things that grow and also just preparing them yourself every day really does extend life. I created a simple spreadsheet with a link on my phone for 2024 to just log what I eat every day just for the fact that I create so many things each and every day that I can't even keep track of it and I'm curious in 2025 to look back on it. Cooking is my therapy though. YMMV.

If I didn't have my nightly wtf should I cook routine, I would be so shaken and lost. I can't just shove shit in my mouth, I need to create it.

TBH, it's super super rare that I eat out, or a breakfast or a lunch. Maybe 1 or 2 times per year. Say when I go out with someone for a lunch, I immediately have to reset my entire bowel cycle, skip dinner because I'm so full and then it throws my entire system off, just like sleep. It's weird, I understand, but that is how my body works best for me. I'm not preaching, just telling you what I have found that works for me for decades. I'm weird like that. A woman would find me an absolute freak, and they have commented, you sure you don't want.... and that is maybe one reason why I'm single, until it gets to dinner time and I'm a fucking god and I deliver leftovers to seniors 3 times a week. I label my in and outgoing tuppawares. It's silly, crazy even, but it's who I am, and I know for a fact that I am feeding people home made meals who need it. It's just my thing. I ignore science lit, nutrition med shit, and anything else, because I know how my body works and how it reacts over the long term. Like decades. Even when I was a broke ass college student I would keep a frozen huge pot of beans rice and pork on the deck and chip out a serving or two each night. My roomates thought I was nuts, but then I would cook for them and they were astonished. It also put me through college working in restaurants cooking shit for years that I couldn't even afford at cost at my payscale. Maybe it is all vestiges of having immigrant parents.

It’s Tupperware his Grammy smuggled in her cooch when they swam here from the Old Country. It gave her extra buoyancy. Don’t be so disrespectful.

I think I got it edited down to the important part for you.

This sounds like something my anorexic SIL would write.

I know I'm old because I haven't eaten cereal in 40 years.

I know that I'm old because I enjoy a bit of Muesli just about every morning.

Nope. Definitely not preaching.

Is this what happens to you when you don't have kids?!! Between this and the "precise" post you're either fucked up, or you're fucked up.
