You know you're getting old when

[KHS445]

When I take weekend 5 mile walks with my younger wife, after a while I fall behind and wife won't wait for me.
And after such walks, I have a blister on my right foot. Should I not be cheap and buy better shoes? But it's just the right foot.

Be sure to drop some bread crumbs when you and your wife go for your walks. Sounds like she is continuing to walk in the hope you will not be able to find your way home. Younger wives excite older men, but eventually the older man gets truly old and the younger wife doesn’t want to deal with them.

Blisters come from basically 2 issues. Shoes too tight or too loose. Socks act like a soft cushion for the soft skin rubbing against the hard parts. Go for fit, not brand. And put a bandaide on the spot when first starting any long distance, Also, did you break in your shoes before you did the distance, that is another issue. Maybe a wider shoes.

The best way to treat a blister is to get a pin, put a hole in it, drain it, put some vaseline on it to prevent it drying out, cover with a bandaide. The skin will reattach back within a day. If you let it break itself and not do anything, it will take a week for new skin to cover the bruise, in which case you will be painfully sore for that week.

I used to run a lot. Did 10 miles because i wanted to see if i could do it. Long term running is bad for your back, hips and knees. Too much wear and tear that will become painfully clear as you get older.

You know you're getting old when you forgot to pay your property tax.
It's due tomorrow and I thought I paid all the property taxes on my properties.
I did a final payment check on different counties and I forgot one property. Good thing I checked.
Only happened to me once decades ago.

I bought air tags. I will put one in my cash bulging wallet when I can't find it.

I'll give a couple of comparables when you know your getting old:

1. When you are Biden or Trump.

2. When everybody you look at........ looks young.

I'm laying on the couch watching all the places trump goes to every day, he ain't old.
Laying on the couch watching biden sleeping on the beach says what about my condition.

Any yea Zoe, where the h`ll did all these young people come from. Anywhere i can go for fun, i be the oldest person there. I guess people my age never go out.

I had a little girl tell her mother after I paid her for her husband's work for me say he is old. I told her and her mother she was a very smart girl. The little girl gave me a really young smile.

"out of the mouth of babes and sucklings" in Psalm 8:2 and Matthew 21:16 in the King James Version.

New International Version
“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “’From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”

Matthew 21:16

The little girl knew I was old. I knew she was very young. LOL.

A biopsy yesterday reminded me of my age. I am old as dirt. As a last indignity they required me to be pushed out in a wheelchair. I asked her if she was my Uber driver and should I tip. It's mid morning, I am not supposed to drive until after noon, I think a nap is in order.

I think I discovered something about myself. I can eat a hardy breakfast or skip breakfast and have a nice lunch. As long as I don't have anything after four, I lose anywhere from a half to .8 lb. per day. Breakfast is 3 eggs, tatter tots or garlic steak fries, and chicken sausage or organic bacon. Yesterday didn't get breakfast but split a cheese burger and cobb salad at a resturant with the wife. I had a glass of milk and still had my red wine in the evening. I was down .8 lb. this morning and my energy level is high, kicking it in my garage gym.
