When my Godson replied to my text message he started with ROLF, this was over something amusing that I had sent him. he explained, what ROLF meant. I told him that he forgot the suffix CGUA. It beat him, I'm not surprised, I made it up. Told him that Roll over laughing on the floor should be followed by: Can't get up again.

I have always disliked acronyms and not kept up with them. I see that the forum has now applied VIP below my name. When I was working in Italy that stood for Visto In Prigione, seen in prison...

Well I’m not a fan of hot glue guns either. In fact, I’m not a fan of any type of gun.
Have you considered adult crayoning books?
My fingers don’t work very well either but I make sure to keep using them so they don’t completely seize up.

Typing on a keyboard actually helps my arthritic hands, fingers. Not sure if would work for everyone but does help me.

But still can't crochet, fingers start to ache quickly. Even sewing button can bee difficult.
 
My stamina decreases a little every year. No matter how active i am, i have to limit how long i'm doing energy intensive chores. Sometimes i get stubborn and push, always pay for it the next day. Used to be one good night's sleep restored me. No more, even tho i sleep quite well. Fall asleep quickly both when first go to bed and when get back in bed after tending fire or going to bathroom.

I'm 88. Is anyone else here my age or higher?

What keeps me going is playing a computer game called, Civilization VI for 8 hours a day. I get to conquer other nations and kill millions. It is a fascinating game and I really live inside it. When one drops an atom bomb or a hydrogen bomb, one imagines all the people one killed.

Bloodthirsty old devil aren't you? :LOL: I do a lot of killing on Diablo II but at least they are nasty little imps and demons! I agree that playing computer games can be a lot of fun. I have been playing them since PCs became popular in the nineties! At that time you had to type commands like "open door" etc. We've come a long way! And I am right at your heels at 87!

The older I get it seems the more cars look alike. I don't envy police officers attempting to record an eye-witness account of a crime. "What kind of car were they driving?" "It was...uhhh...silver?"

You are definitely old if you remember inkwells in your school desk.

You know you are getting old, when your younger family members are grandparents already.

Having just returned from an Antiques Fair, you know you're getting old when half of the stuff there is from your childhood!

You know you're getting old when every entertainer you recognize is dead.
 

You Know You're Old When...​


You've just poured the milk into your bowl of cornflakes and the plastic cap off the milk bottle flies up in the air.....

You spend half an hour on your hands and knees looking for the cap, and then give up, saying "Sod it, sod it!!!"

Then you sit down to your breakfast, and your spoon magically scoops up the cap from your bowl of cornflakes.

I kid you not, this happened to me. ☺️

I don't remember the inkwell but I remember the Nun's making us hide under the wooden desk to be protected from an Atomic bomb

P.S. @Mitch86 I hope you realise that I was teasing! You can never be too sure in a forum because the body language is missing!

When people used to send me LOL I thought it meant Lots of Love, but was told later that it meant Laugh Out Loud. Here I was thinking everybody loved me!!
 
I like this thread as it makes me feel young and I ain't. On a plus side, I have been on many forums and you old lot are still more entertaining, polite, and young in life than the boring old 50/60 sixty-year-olds on those forums. Plus, you know how to laff without your faces falling apart.

Constipation.

You and your teeth don't sleep together.

It takes two tries to get up from the couch.

When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.

When happy hour is a nap.

When you're on vacation and your energy runs out before your money does.

You are missing Goodwood in the pouring rain today, HC. Thought I would just add that.
