I've had glasses since I was in 3 or 4 years old, so I think of I got laser eye surgery I'd still wear a pair of frames. I'd just look very odd without them, like Millhouse when he takes his off.

Ban for using a Big Bang Theory reference please. A major ban. A big ban, if you will. I mean, I could just draw a side by side of the three Bayonetta designs if I had a couple days to spare...  Also thanks dmukgr  |

I've been wearing glasses since I was 10 but I'm of the same situation. They're part of my identity for better or worse. |

Had a thought that maybe I should get a 40 yo whisky for my 40th. It'll be, what, a couple of hundred quid?
Nope, more like a grand upwards. I'm not worth that much!

I have a shoulder problem that’s just developed over the last week or so. Partly I wondered if it was early signs of heart failure, but it just turns out I’m old and things hurt now.

I do get aches and pains not all the time, but occasionally now. They normally just go away so never bothered looking into them more.
At least my ankle and foot is slowly healing. Did notice I've got a few small spider veins on my foot. I might have a few really small spider veins on my legs too, but my legs are just hairy enough to cover it all up.
If I did Veet my hair off I'm kinda scared at what I'd find.

I've got used to the groans, clicks and pops now.
If I was a car, it'd be a 56 plate honda jazz, which ironically, I've just bought.

I didn't notice myself groaning whenever I say down or stood up, but now it just seems to happen, if not all the time, very frequently. The old man noises just creep up and then suddenly they're everywhere.

Not tried it in many years though...

For tomorrow you will be old, blind, and no longer looking like Steffen Iversen.
Seize the day before you seize for good !

My need for reading glasses seems to be accelerating rapidly. Pretty soon I'll need them to read anything within a km.
Anyone else find their memory is going to shit? Not sure if it's due to the pandemic and being stuck at home watching netflix every day.
Maybe I need to start doing crosswords or something.
