HAIR that grows in my nose, and ears...WTF??? have to cut it off or pull it out with long nose pliars.....

As far as the hair billowing out of your eyes and nose. Hair in your head keeps growing but loses it's vertical climb. Thus you have it sprouting out your ears and nose.

Yeh, but some Chevies are plastic and supposed to last forever, never rust.....

just wish my skeleton was stainless.....

I jerk my nose hairs out by the roots with my fingers.. takes em awhile to grow back.

Ear hairs hurt too bad so just leave em and trim now and then.. wife says it reminds her of a pig.

I scratch where it itches.. not where it looks good.

[boracayjohnny]

Gene, gettin' old is a PIA. I'm in my early 50s and surely tell ya, the things I did in my 20s may be accomplished but at what cost?

Just a coupla things now...

No more all nighters with the fellas.
No more burning the candle at both ends, sleep really is a good thing nowadays.
No more two couples playing quarters with two combat bottles of Soju. Man, that'd kill me now.

Getting old well sucks
Very true indeed

[polarbear]

Well, it could be worse... I consider every day I can fog up a mirror a good day.

I turn 61 tomorrow. If you guys knew how many hours I worked, and what I did in my personal life- not including a house and a few cars to take care of... your jaws would be dropping. It ain't getting any easier- all the usual complaints. But I swear keeping as busy and active as I do helps keep me in shape. Being 5ft10in and 155 lbs doesn't hurt either.

Some bad habits still stuck around- I'm a light smoker, drink waaay too much coffee... and care not to discuss any other bad habits I have. But it works... or will until it doesn't.

(I do spend a lot more time grooming than I ever remember, but I'm not going down without a fight)

Coming up on 36 years. No headaches.

It is the worst cruelty. By the time you realize how you should have taken care of your body, it's too fat gone. By the time you gain the wisdom to be a success, the game is over. The more I think about it the more depressing it is.

Still beats a dirt nap - all day long!

[SQUIRMIN VERMIN 84]

I'm 70 now and need to lose weight. Married 48 years, no complaints there!
Move slower, getting onto and up from a creeper resembles a sloth with no
balance...similar to getting out of a C4.
Hair growing where it never did before and spots everywhere. I spend more
time planning the smarter way to do physical things like lifting, crawling
and using leverage, hoists, pivot points and being more picky about weather.
My noggin still comes up with good ideas, I can still hit a 200 yard bull ring with
with iron sights, I still enjoy a fast drive and sex still happens! I know where
I'm going when the show's over.
Can't complain in spite of the country circling the bowl....
All in all, every day is a gift!

Oh I have em, just different ones. I am 71

[RonC5]

I choose to look at them as minor annoyances. A while back I found myself in the ER with a perforated colon and a white count of 30K plus. Doctor told me that I was 8-10 hours from nothing they could do. The fight back was difficult, but here I am. I figure I am on bonus time, so I can put up with the small stuff.

[Olustee bus]

gittin old and bad health is bad enough and now we gotta deal with this.

You have to be tough to get old.
