Sometimes I feel like an old man...

Darrell · 04-07-2009, 02:47 PM

I just spent 5 hrs in the VA (Veterans Affairs Hospital). They took like 8 gallons of blood, pulled every body part (almost) and even made me fill out some 200 question form to see if I'm crazy. Then they asked me why I was so "cranky" when I went down for x-rays.

Well on the bright side, I still have all my hair. So I guess I'm not truly old yet.

Sounds like a ton of fun. I feel old walking around, especially now because it is freezing outside. Still have my hair, but it is starting to turn gray

I believe the human body only hold 5 qrts.

Smoke a cigar Darrell. You will feel better.

Wait until you get my age if you think that was bad Darrell...oh boy

The VA is enough to make even a normal person cranky.

WildBlueSooner · 04-07-2009, 03:16 PM

Wow...looks like I have that to look forward to!

You don't have to be old to lose your hair.

That said, hair is over rated anyway.
I haven't carried a comb or bought shampoo in about twenty years.
It's been a big burden unshouldered.

doctorcue · 04-07-2009, 04:17 PM

Dude, I think it is just our turn to deal with what our Dad's did. I now realize I groan & moan every time I get off the couch. That is pretty much officially old now.

I'm cool with it.

I'm gettin some grays popping out here and there. After a little yard work I feel like i've been lifting weights all day.

It's hell growing up.

Ratters · 04-08-2009, 02:07 AM

You know how I know I'm too old? Everything really is too loud.
