It's great when you put something in a secure place so it won't get lost, except when you can't remember exactly where that place was later.


My problem is that I lose things even if I don't hide them. Old age stinks.

I need to remember to ask the next people that come in my house if it smells like old people.

You may have noticed it especially when you were a kid visiting old people's houses when your smelling ability was especially acute.

What Causes Older Individuals to Smell Differently?
According to a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, an increase of nonenal is directly associated with aging. Nonenal is a chemical compound that is produced when omega-7 unsaturated fatty acids on the skin are degraded through oxidation. Around age 40 in both men and women, the skin begins producing more fatty acids its natural antioxidant defenses begin to deteriorate. Hormonal changes like menopause can contribute to this chemical process as well.

As the skin grows weaker, its natural oils oxidize more quickly, producing nonenal. Because it isn’t water soluble, nonenal can remain on the skin despite thorough washing. Therefore, the smell persists on the body and on fabrics, even in extremely clean environments.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

What are you, 52? That's hardly 'old age'.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I feel old and physically worn out. I hope it doesn't get any worse than this.

It won't. Everybody knows as you
get older things get markedly
better. Just keep the health
conscious regimen you're on
going full steam ahead.

Does anyone have a Ouija board to put me in contact with Kevorkian?

I know at least in Oregon, you need to have a terminal diagnosis. I assume the other states are similar?

There lots of people on the streets of the big cities at night that I am sure could help you for a very nominal fee. You might even be able to cut a deal for free in the neighbourhood if you chose your words wisely.

With the kinds of foods you eat,
you're on the Kevorkian diet.
Just be patient.
