It must be nice to be a youngster. By 5:30am I have been to the bathroom at least three times since going to sleep.
I aim better if I'm awake when I pee.

And one for the op. " I don't chew my cabbage twice"

and wear the construction noise reduction
muffs we discussed a few years ago.


I wear those too, even when it is quiet. I've become addicted to them.

This sounds almost the same as the routine they take you through at any Vegas hypnotist show.

I actually slept good and fast last night, still feel tired now and can't wait for bed. Getting old is awful.

One thing my father often quoted was, "A fool and his money are soon parted." That may explain why he hated spending money on anything.

I'm telling you, it's generational. People
from the WWII generation were raised
to be frugal. And there weren't a lot
of frivolous things to waste money on.
No fast food chains, no Starbucks,
no cell phone bills. I only remember
eating out twice in my childhood, and
never with my dad. All we would have
heard is how he could buy a weeks worth
of groceries for what the dinner cost.

Lawn care obsessions, large cars with even larger tail fins, auto wax obsessions, large boxes of laundry detergent that they thought were the cheapest but were not, bowling alley leagues, homes in the suburbs, TVs, tv-dinners.
