I think I’ve been handed my almost "old age" hat in the form of my first set of bifocals. Egad already! Bifocals? As if I don’t already see double as it is. What’s next here…dentures? How about a hip replacement while they’re at it? You never know when one might go bad so let’s get it out of the way now why don’t we?
I have this strange urge to take up golf and subscribe to AARP magazine. Oh wait…we already get it. Jeez, I can’t wait until I get my elderly discount at my local grocery store. Just a few more years to go.
I need to clip coupons! I have to clip coupons right now! Where’s my Polident? I got to have my Polident! Do they still make Geritol? Ya’ gotta tell me if they still make Geritol!
I LEFT MY CANE IN THE DAV VAN!!!
Okay, okay. I’m done now. Whew! Had a bit of an episode there. It was them darn bifocals that did it. Excuse me while I go find a vitamin or something.

Note: Upon requests from a few friends of mine who thought that my "handwriting" was much better than posts done by my "typewriter", I have decided to do up personal type posts like this one using my "pen" so to speak. This is only for a trial period just to…well…try something different until too many folks complain about it. Then I’ll do it some more just to be ornery.
Not to worry Kirk, your with the “IN” crowd.
Ha. You kid.
I have four focals: one set of tri-focals and then another set for computer only.
@janeywan: Wow, I’ve never been “IN” before. Usually I spent my time “OUT”. Glad I’m amongst friends though.
@Sixty: There’s always someone older whose going to call you “kid”. Well I certainly don’t feel like no kid, especially when I first attempt to get up in the morning. And tri-focals? God-a-mighty man, do they actually make lenses that big?
It’s hell getting old huh? Hold on to your boxers, next thing is cataracts! Unless you have baby blue eyes you might escape that for awhile though.
Hi Elaine,
Oh, I don’t mind getting old so much, it’s that “getting old before my time” (physically that is) that I’m having a hard time dealing with. And nope…my eye’s are dark brown, plain and simple. Also a bit sunken. Strange since my father had gray eyes and my mother’s were hazel.
And uh, (ahem!) I wear briefs by the way, not boxers. I like ‘em better.
