Time's flying.
 

Crazy how fast it seems to slip by, as I get older. Trying hard not to waste what's left. How do you olde bastages maximize your time? :cert:

Less is more. Get rid of people and things that steal your time. I do a lot less than I used to and am good with that. I get to do what I want to do, not get suffocated by things and obligations that aren't doing me any good at this point. I'm almost 63, and the years from 50 to now seem to have gone by in a blur. Life is like a roll of toilet paper: the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

:troll:

This song describes it perfectly

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.” -- Augusten Burroughs

That's an absolute truth in life, but most people learn the lesson far too late.

What does Wisconsin and Bethune-Cookman have in common?
See answer below:












Neither team has won a National Championship in football.

:cert:

I think you have to live it to really understand it.

LSU will do that New Years day. :Jeff '79:

WTF is the Brit obsession with badgers? We don't need to see no stinkin' badgers!

Another great 'Time.' APP is really criminally underrated, I think. And no coincidence that AP produced Dark Side. I went with a friend of mine yeas ago to see an all day, multi-artist concert, among them, APP. I told my friend, that's who will be the standout. My friend thought I was crazy, but when we were walking out, he admitted that APP blew him away and that I was right, they stole the show.

Yea, I've always liked APP but to me, this was a blatant ripoff of PF's sound and style of writing...

Edit: Did you know Alan Parsons engineered DSOTM?

We take pleasure in knowing you'll get here too :D

Time. Time is a journey, a never ending journey. You travel down a road
and you think you are coming to a end and another road appears and you start
down another road. Its not over ,it is just beginning. I always felr this way about life/and time. There is dying but no death.

Stay busy.
I don't watch much TV.
Or post much.

Just bought the remastered vinyl on amazon

I have to keep moving or I get stiff.

For me it is work. I love to work. It is usually painful to my old joints and muscles but it is my bliss.

Spent the past week doing punch out/carpentry at the barn I'm finishing up. Last thing I need to be doing is broom and shovel and caulk and hammer and screw drill work. But it's what I do.

My mind has not caught up with the reality that the body is 60-something.
Freaking frontal lobe is in for a big surprise someday. :Jeff '79:

@jd3 at the other place at that quote as his location. Another masshole. :yesnod:

I masturbate. A lot. I mean, a lot.

That's where I was -- the plan was to work until I couldn't. My shop is in the backyard, I was already on Badger Security so I didn't have to work crazy hours anymore, life was good, I could usually take 1-2 hour lunches.

Then, in April 2021, arthritis hit my wrists, hands, and shoulders (I think the docs are full of shit with that diagnosis, cuz I'm fine now). So my plan to "work until I couldn't" happened then, a few months short of my 71st BD.

It took me a good year or more to enjoy NOT working; it really bothered me at first. Oh well, I'm enjoying NOT working now, and I have more income now than I ever did when I was working.

Good luck. :)

Yeah
I need to downshift to a lower gear. I already purposefully do less to save the wear on the body. That mental gymnastics required is more effort than the work. :Jeff '79:

:dance:

This. Fighting inertia has been the hardest part of retirement for me. I have engineered a schedule of sorts for myself so I don't end up buried in a book all day everyday... once I get started it is possible to continue through the day.

I'm 68 and still running my business. I plan on doing so until I drop (I LOVE what I do, so why stop?)

Can't say I've noticed. I'm not a big fan of clocks or calendars. Won't even bother to track what day of the week it is unless the trash needs to be pushed out to the road.

I will out live your father -in-law :yesnod:

You'll outlive him if he tries that bigoted snowflake BS IRL :lol:

Wasn't talking to you troll.

Dad "retired" at age 85, but only because his doctor told him that he had 6 months remaining. So, Dad closed the doors on his business and moved to be with his younger sister. Fortunately, Dad exceeded the 6 months by almost 4 years, but passed earlier this year, at age 89.

As a workaholic myself, I probably won't "retire" either.

Ken, if you love what you do, it's not a job. Keep on working!

:cheers:

What? That fugger ripped off my quote?? :balls: :mad: :cuss::explode:

I hope to die at 100 with a hammer in one hand and a fist full of nails in the other...and a pencil behind the ear...propped up against an old oak tree with my dog at my side. :cert:

There is actually a name for that (or used to be) -- time transcendence...

When you are 10, a year is 10% of your life -- when you're 50 its 2% so the perception is that times goes faster as we age.

I've taken up music (again after 30 years) and as one of the few surviving males in my wife's family and my own - I've become a financial and personal mentor of sorts to the younger relatives. And I've reached a station in life where they actually listen.

Yes, I'm slowing down and 3-4 hours in the Florida heat is about all the physical labor I can tolerate any more and I'm lucky I remember my pants when I leave the house in the mornings...

Been with the same woman 55 years and we're compatible now - we both get headaches.

Lyrics
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Speaking of time, this woman from Christmas Vacation is now 70 years old.

Speaking of women, the nice thing about the way I keep track of time is being able to see the Friday Five every other day :D

I would close my eyes and hit it twice for old times.

Mostly watch porn and eat Cheetos..:rofl:
