Yea knee stiffness. I use to walk groves and if a tree had a drop that was off the harvester schedule (oct, Nov dec) I'd get down there with a bucket crawl around till was all picked up. As the years went by mid 40's this got harder to do. In the end all that crawling caught up to me. I have poor circulation in my legs because I spent years sitting on my heels

When you have aches in your hands, legs, feet and joints
When the things you look forward to aren't so much as activies but going to sleep or just sitting and vibing
When don't understand slang anymore, my example being I don't know what Cap/No Cap, AFK, Throwing or memes like tunga tunga tunga or a shark with nike sneakers on mean.
When you aren't as horny anymore as in constantly thinking about plapping
When the things on your mind are either financial or medical issues sometimes both.
When you realize that cartoon or video game you liked is now 20 to 30 years old now
When you find one of your old handheld or consoles and wonder "man, this thing is tiny, how the fuck did I play this so easily" or "Man, this game is hard, how did I clear all this so easily"
A worthless existence

Hasnt felt that yet tbh.

But then, Ive always been an old soul. And because my dumb ass didnt realize how detrimental it would be, Ive had aches and pains since my early 20s thanks to doing stupid work so thats just business as usual for me

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest.. is silence.

Unless there's a full-blown natural disaster happening, making casual conversation about the weather is a sure sign of the olds.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

When you have to wait two full days before doing more strength training because your body actually needs two full days to heal now.

Found that out this week. Felt great when I rolled out of bed, decided one day was enough and I'd have another leg and glute/core day. One rep into my glute raise set was enough to tell that, nope, not fully healed and it was better to abandon for the day.

Oh, and the obvious one: when you notice you've got a couple of grey hair strands in the mirror.

When some of my favorite animated shows past my childhood and teen years are now retro. Still remember when the only version of Batman Beyond Return of the Joker officially available was the toned down version.

Now the unedited version is basically the default.

When the slang you don't understand is old enough to vote. AFK is away from keyboard, unless there is a new meaning for it.

Some of the animated shows you enjoy as a kid gets remake. Reflexes aren't as fast as they used to be..
Hope is comforting. It allows us to accept fate, no matter how tragic it might be.

Im ordering things without meat lately and I crave a lot of salads. Not a bad thing I guess but I think the reason Im doing it is my stomach is getting a little weaker.

My big one is when I was a kid seeing old people at the grocery store struggling to read labels on cans and now Im that guy. My prescription for my glasses is strong enough that I need to distance the label far enough away to become clear because I didnt opt for bifocals but too far away the print is too small so I end up removing my glasses and shove the can in my face to read it rather than trying to move my arm all over the place to find the right spot.

This is a more recent thing in the last year. Im 49. Ive just accepted it and at work I increase the zoom to like 125% to see better on the PC.
