One word: moobs




Amazing how one word can mean two so well.




Honestly I'm not sure what to say about that one . I'm more afraid of moobs than staring down the barrel and catching a glimpse of the brass in the chamber

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. :)

I was in Walmart about a year ago when an older gentleman walked past. I actually began to laugh as I read his t-shirt, as it was so true. It said simply:
"Inside of every old person is a teenager screaming out 'What the hell happened!'"

I hear you Kenny. I wander around thinking I'm still 28, then catch sight of myself in a window reflection and think 'who the **** is that knackered old guy?'
 





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?
