OFFICIAL: Old Man Shaking Cane At The Clouds Club

[ExtraSlow]

This ain't the 90's any more, beyond is old now. This is the thread to discuss rocking chairs, prescription refills, and hemorrhoid creams. Discussions of the shortcomings of younger generations and the glories of our youth are also appropriate.

Members, aspiring members and well-wishers welcome.

Official club membership cannot be bought, only bestowed by current members.

I've put in my application but the committee has requested some supplementary information. Always hard to know how these inscrutable guys are leaning.

There's old and then there's even older - i remember 10 pop and 5 cent chocolate bars.

Anyhow, some of you old beyonders are peronably stRti ng to see a few white hairs and maybe, just maybe a few of you have progressives. I felt a bit old Saturday afternoon in Sunshine's Trappers Pub, I think I was the oldest person in there. Felt weird.

I had a pretty good supply of white hairs in my mid twenties.

I have cane... I shake it at millenials.

I want to belong!!!

In all honesty, I'm most likely past the beyond requirements for this club as I easily qualify for things like Denny's Thursday senior specials. But I haven't been bold enough yet to use designated senior's parking - the only senior's discount/benefit I've used so far is at Rona and it felt weird but great at the same time to get a discount just for being 55+ (Rona is 50+ for their senior's discount).

Whenever I had to do something around the house, I did so ASAP. Now, I tell the gf, "I'll put it on my list", or "These things take time"

I get excited about buying quality appliances at discount prices and going for mall walks with my old lady. A few grey hairs here and there @ 32

[rage2]

I just upped my gout medication dosage, buying myself a couple years before I need to buy a cane.

A male enjoying walking through a mall, just isn't right at any age. lol

I got more white in my beard than some 60 year olds and my beard has more hair than a crowd of millenials trying to grow one.

I'm just happy that I can now squarely pass all the blame of everything ever done to the next generation.

Similar, if I need something from Canadian Tire non-work related, old enough to know their sale prices which is like 50-65% off (same products goes on sale like this 2-3 times yearly) and have the patient to wait.

RE: "designated seniors parking" - If you're legitimately not mobile enough to walk through the parking lot, you probably qualify for a handicap placard. If you don't qualify for one, but are just so old that you cant walk from anywhere in the parking lot, chances are your vision and reaction times are equally deteriorated, and you don't belong behind the wheel anyways.

I saw an old guy once who had to sit on a walker and push himself to his car then get in and drive away.

I mean, call it callous (or whatever else you want), but if I was a bettin' man, I'd bet his ability to avoid a collision while behind the wheel would be not all that great.
