That's been me all my life. It's strange not having bruises. (And no I don't have leukemia.)
Also, how many innocent bystanders are killed in the big fight scenes/car chases, etc.
This has always been my definition of an epic party. Cheese, anyone??
Automatic ump, ouff , getting up or down, but just a heads up, in your 50s it’s followed by snap, crackle and pop
This happens to women as well? I thought it was prostate related.
How many pieces? 100 yeah fine. 1,000 now that would be some speedy piecing.
I married my best friend, so I kind of cheated the system a bit there.
Your 60s: Time to flip.the mattress. WHAT? when did they start selling one sided mattresses??😡😡 Criminal!
This news was disturbingly true and completely unexpected. I want a refund!
Or you smoke yourself in the face pulling it towards to you, that's always so fun!
Oh all sorts of stuff I used to dismiss I've come to realize is a problem! My ability to fall asleep at the drop of a hat for 3 hours straight? Yeah, that's narcolepsy.
The waitress probably wasn't hitting on your younger self either, she just has to be nice because it's her job.
I can't sleep naked. What if there's an intruder and we have to battle? Things need to be tucked in tight so as not to distract the masked man.
Ha, nope I'm still the youngest, the other two are planning retirement in the next few years.
I nice sponge always puts me in the mood. To clean. Don't be weird ya'll.
Started that in my 30s after years of construction and going to concerts.
I have a magnet on the fridge that says, "I used to sneak out of the house to go to parties. Now I sneak out of parties to go to my house."
They make it in pastel colors now! I don't need it, but it's still on my Amazon wish list just in case. :)
Thanks to COVID everyone has house pants now. I learned how comfortable yoga pants are during COVID.
I can't even get in the car unless I've had a pee first. Coffee is insane.
When I turn my neck, it sounds like broken glass in a garbage disposal
I have good news and bad news for you. Water and exercice help vastly
That first one for sure! It's embarrassing how often Find My Device reveals that my phone is 2 feet to my right and in plain sight...
can confirm. I eat like one sandwich a day and somehow I am 2kg heavier the next day.
But what if I enjoy getting slang "wrong" just to annoy the whippersnappers? I am in my element.
My nightly battle: "I want a glass of wine but it will interact with my restless leg pills... which do i choose?"
So romantic - you can get chocolates on the way out to make it extra special
On the eve of 42 w/ a much younger partner and chatting with a stranger about our age difference. They asked which of us was the younger. So kind.
This seems a bit alien to me... for me it was: zero, tons, zero, and now tons again (50s). hmm. I think it has to do with who you are dating.

My 40s were the best time of my life. All my kids were at school so after over à decade I finally had a bit of time for myself and had started working again part time. I had lost à lot of weight and felt strong and as beautiful as I ever felt. Now I'm in my late 60s, weight back on, and creaking joints. Savour your 40s, youngsters 😇
I work full time, have three kids under 12. And i still make room for exercising. I don´t recognize myself in any of the pain stuff. The waitress is indeed not flirting with me though. She never did anyway.
