Getting Old is turning out to be a real learning experience ..
The reading glasses thing was an easy one to adapt too and I've been there for about 10 years and counting … Getting gray , I'm OK with that even though the tree line is thinning out a little on top of old smokey … One change that is effing me up the most is I used to have a nice round butt that used to hold my pants up just fine. Now the thing decided to get flat and move over to the front where my stomach is  I'm like WTF …I'm way to young to be wearing suspenders … Kenny

I made peace with the notion of wearing glasses, even though I recently had to get a second pair, this one for reading. Up until my late 30's, I was blessed (or cursed) with an extremely fast metabolism. No matter what I did, I never gained weight. Then I quit smoking and turned 40. And I have to work a lot harder not to put on weight, even if I have a most healthy diet and workout an hour a day every day. The hairline IS receding, but I can't say that I'm too worried about it. But you know what my pet peeve is? Hair in spots where there used to be none. I even bought my own tweezers a few years ago (too bad I couldn't find zircon encrusted ones). And hair in those spot seem to grow thicker and quicker all the time. One of the worst spot is just around the ear hole - those drive me nut, though they're easy to pluck. Top of the ear - some long ones grow there... Thin enough but that spot is surprisingly sensitive. Nostrils. Thick as heck and driving me crazy. First couple of times were painful but my nostrils are now immune to pain for the most part. Shoulders and back. Why oh why? I leave the pleasure to my lovely lady who loves to pluck them. BTW, suspenders are cool. They've been a part of my attire for well over 10 years. Love them. :)

Something similar happened to me just the other day mate. Having never sussed out how to take a selfie on my phone (or, may I stress, wanted to), I accidentally hit the button that switches between the main front-facing camera and the screen-sided one. I literally stared at the old bugger staring gormlessly back at me for a couple of seconds before realising what I'd done. Still, it could have been worse... I might have encountered this disturbing physog

Yes James , I know that feeling pretty well myself I went from "what's happening" to "what happened" .
I would imagine that you are a pretty active person and in good shape considering all the outdoors type of work you do .
always nice talking with you ,
Kenny
Well I'm certainly active Kenny, I do 7 or 8 hours physical work every day (plenty to do at home as well as work), but since I turned 50 (5 looong years ago), that doesn't seem to make any difference. But hey, 'round' is a good shape, right?

''I always knew getting old would suck, I just didn't realise how young I'd be when it kicked in'' I think the esteemed Bitflipper said that.

Hello Rain , Sure I get where you are coming from . A lot of the changes you have mentioned started appearing over time very slowly ,then the next thing I knew all that stuff started happening a lot faster be grateful you have a cool lady ….

worse thing about getting old is i seem to be a few millimeters out these days and keep catching my elbows on sharp surfaces-doorways etc-maybe i`m getting wider and shorter or my eyesight and perception are decreasing.
so-i am currently wearing skateboard elbow pads during the day which raises a few eyebrows as i dont have a skateboard-its a fine line between eccentricity and practicality.
cheers

Kenny,
When I went to my 40th (gasp) HS reunion a few years back, I walked into the meeting area and thought I was in the wrong place. Who are all these bald fat wankers ? Well, those would be my classmates. More of the women apparently have held up better.
And you can say this again : " ... I went from "what's happening" to "what happened" ... ". That pretty well says it all.
Cheers,
Bert

One of the times it hits me hardest is when I have to get down on my hands and knees (like last night, to read the teeny, tiny serial # upside down off the bottom of my malfunctioning cable box so I could give it to Comcast TS.) I told my friend, "If I'm not back in 15 minutes, come & get me."
Then there's the part where I couldn't quite read it with or without my glasses, so I kind of guessed...
