That usually means they're playing the classic rock channel, which is ok by me.

My dentist does that too. I always comment to him on how I like the music.

One evening at the start of the overnight shift, a nurse asked if they could hold their pre-shift meeting in my room because the AC at the nurse's station was not working. Not a problem with me to share my cold.

The funniest thing was when word spread around the hospital that there was a patient's room cold enough to be the morgue. At least three times per shift, nurses from faraway floors/units (like maternity) would show up to "check on me" and see if I needed anything. I suspect that many of them were of menopausal age, and were there just because of the AC that I was sharing.....

My girlfriend looked at me all bright eyed and said she had shaved her legs. I thought great now I have to clear the drain as it must be clogged!

Getting old!

Wait. Your oldest is 45? That's almost my age. Maybe I'm not as close to this group as I thought.

Whatever age we are, we think we are old. To me, what matters most is my attitude about it. I know friends my age who are sitting there waiting to go. I'm having the time of my life.

If you are in your forties and think you are old, just do a reset. You are just getting started! If you do it right, you save some money along the way and retire at a reasonable age. There's no way to explain how great it is to be able to bounce grand kids on your knee one day and take a trip the next with no need to be in a hurry.

Keep lurking on this thread and take some pointers. When you really get old, you can put your toe on our lawn and work your way to the center.

All the best!

If your girlfriend has leg hair that would clog a drain you've got a good woman there!

My first Army duty assignment was in Hanau, Germany in early 1968. Man, was that ever an eye-opener. While on gate guard duty, I enjoyed watching the pretty frauleins walking by... until I spotted a lot of long leg hair under their panty-hose.

FTFY. It's ok if you didn't notice the old guy, but when it just didn't register until you got home: old

Cut me some slack. I've been out of the game a long time. I thought he was being a nice old man, and then I realized....

When I was racing in the One Lap of America many moons ago, one of our team's sponsors told us an advertising slogan joke in Las Vegas. Three days and 2,000 miles later in Ohio, one of the guys on our team busted out laughing when he finally figured out the punch line.

Guess he wasn't as old as cmyx6go, since he at least figured it out *before* he got home.....

He still may be a nice old man. You probably just have it going on.

A nice Italian lady with curly hair and her own business, he has an agenda. . .

The Italian and curly hair is obvious. He doesn’t know about the business. I can’t hide the ///M though.

I’m not putting my foot back in the water. I thought it was funny I didn’t catch it right away. It’s been the last thing on my mind.
