Back pain
Deadlifts fixed my back pain completely. Ymmv.
thanks, i’m trying with swimming now, hopefully it’ll help
Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.
Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.
Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.
Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.
Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.

and my own phone number, nothing else.This is my ringtone.
definately physical pain on stuff you used to do on the regular. Had a job were I would get impatient waiting for a delivery and would jump off the dock to go check if I could see the truck. A little after I got into my thirties I jumped off one day and just stopped and stood still in a crouched position for a bit. I never “felt” the landing like I did that day before. It was the sart of what would be a long line of things I would cease to do.
When you fall down nobody laughs. Only concern.
Next up: you don’t fall down, you “have a fall”.
Balls hang a little lower.
Botox helps with the wrinkles

Hello caller, you’re on Balltalk!
Every damn time I scratch my knee, the nuts get in the way. It’s horrible.
I’m… confused.
Pretty simple. My nuts are giant, hang low, and have their own sentience. They’re also easily entertained by interfering with anything they can.
Right now, they’re the ones typing this, two letters at a time ahahahahahahahahah! Testicle power!
Oh dear…
“Do you nuts hang low, do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?”
Less birthday parties for you, more for younger folks.
All pro athletes are younger than me. Except maybe a hockey player or two.
Completely walking away from sports you followed with passion hour whole life because you just aren’t interested in learning the next crop of pros. Also, you know the way money and politics and other things force things in sport and it takes the fun out of it…same can be said for music.
Finding grey hair in your beard. The first time I started to feel older was once I found a couple grey hair in my beard. None in my hair, just beard
Nah you’re not really old until you find grey hair in your pubes
Haha, thanks!
You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)
Quite the opposite.
The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others
I agree actually, I was only kidding because of the subject of the post.
It’s replaced with a desire to help people be better.
Yep. Even if you don’t have kids, that parental and grandparental instinct still starts to build and you can’t stop yourself
Agreed. Matter of fact, I usually direct the offending party to one of two, if not both, sites.

Always a good time.
Making interjections when standing up, from a chair, from bed, getting out from your car seat, etc …
Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
I’ve been like that since 15, that’s just being a hypochondriac.
Pimples just becoming permanent weird little bumps
My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don’t want to bend anymore.
On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don’t let your emotional state depend on external factors.
Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.
You can’t stand grindy videogames. You see young adults as children, and their behavior becomes irritating.
Get off my lawn
Your perception and outlook on time changes a lot.
Everything seems to go by faster. Waiting for something doesn’t seem that bad when it’s in terms of days instead of hours, weeks instead of days, months instead of weeks, years instead of months.
When making long term plans, “how long you think you’ll live” becomes more and more of a factor.
