I’m ‘Where’s my phone?!’ While Holding My Phone years old.

Ya know how, sometimes, you need your reading glasses so that you can fix your reading glasses?

Every time I wake up I feel like I’m hosting a show called Mucus in the Morning. #GettingOld

Part of me wishes I could be a kid again, because I made the mount everest of chicken nuggets and I couldn't even eat half of the plate. #GettingOld

That's it, it's happened.. I'm officially "Bought fluffy slippers for the winter from Kmart for click-n-collect" old..

Well there goes my 43rd Trip around the sun.

Phase 2 of the wood store complete. It’s looking a bit like a temple at the moment. I was hoping to get the roof on today but last night I fucked my back up. And how did I do this? I bent down to push a button on my dehumidifier. I like getting old, I think I’m a much nicer person than I was 20 years ago, and I know myself much better - but the physical decline that comes with old age is shit. What I wouldn’t give for my 18 year old body with my 60 year old self. #allotment #making #GettingOld

Received my "66!" test - just posted it off - the machine (faux ai?) will probably say, "ALERT!!", "Vegetable Dahnsak detected!!!", "Onion Bajii detected!!!".... red lights a-flashing, traces of smoke from the grills

A quotation from Douglas Adams

I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
 
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
 
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
 
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English writer
The Salmon of Doubt (2002)

Day 44 of #365in25

Hmm. The one after next Chinese Year is "Year of the Fire Horse". That's my year. #GettingOld

Once upon a time, I was able to recognise films I’d seen before very quickly. Nowadays, I’m often half way into a film before I know I’ve already seen it…even if I can’t always remember what happened. Odd, isn’t it? Netflix etc overload or simply nudging 60 years of age? #memory #gettingold

It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.

You know you're getting old and cranky when, on your way home, walking through the Utrecht Central Station hall towards your bus stop, you pass a pop up store called Upfront, containing some young people, two refrigerators and a counter in a slick interior, but no real clues as to what they're selling or is going on otherwise and your first thought is: "Could someone explain this to me so I can tell why it is bullshit? Because it looks like bullshit".

I have a big old Sony Trinitron CRT television. I had it on yesterday (playing some NES) and the 12 y.o. mentioned she could hear the high pitched whine from a long ways away and knew the TV was on. I remember also, as a child, being able to hear the whine of a television from anywhere in the house.

The horizontal refresh rate of a NTSC TV is 15.7 KHz and is audible for people into their 20s and maybe 30s, but most people (like me) in their 40s can't hear 15 KHz or higher.

My 13-year old made me confront my own mortality this morning I don't like it. She's a big fan of TikTok Radio on SiriusXM, so I've heard "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs many times over the past couple of weeks (it's a meme thing). I did the math this morning and realized that the song is almost 22 years old...
