Shit that reminds you that you’re getting old - Re: Fwd: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fwd: Damn young’uns

I've gotten to the age where my continence has started to deteriorate. I'm not shitting myself frequently enough to start wearing adult diapers but it may be something I need to look into in the near future. If anybody knows any good brands that they could recommend to me I would really appreciate it.

No judgement-
Maybe it's your diet? Weight? Muscular problems?
Under 65 - this shouldn't happen.

I have pelvic floor dysfunction. I had to get a prostatectomy due to cancer a few years ago. I'm seeing a physical therapist right now and I'm taking medication to manage it but I'll probably still have to start wearing diapers at some point.

Jesus. I am sorry. That is a whole other thing.

Medicare/Medicaid should pay for your needs - see what they will pay for and go with it.
Seems like my guess about muscular probs was correct. I shoulda been a doctor.

Diet:
Still - I would watch your fat intake. Fat = loose stool. Also sugars cause probs as we age (the 'sugar shits').
Eat bread that doesn't add sugar or corn syrup.

Pills - OTC:
Take anti- diarrhea (loperimide I think, doing this from memory). That will harden you up good.
Regular Tums can also harden stools - but not enough typically.

Exercise:
Pelvic floor routine. Weight loss. I'm sure you have some routine by now.

Anyway - I am very sorry about your condition. I wish you the best.

Music from my childhood is played on the oldies station... and I mean Sugar Ray, No Doubt, and Blink 182.

My knees making the cricking sounds when I squat.

And I have to sleep 8 hours, anything less and I'm tired all day. Didn't used to be like that until my mid-30s.

When you get excited about buying new appliances...new water heater, YES!

Anybody remember when the lunch lady makes you take a milk and a fruit with your lunch? Some schools had strawberry milk in stock.

Set my alarm earlier than normal because I had something to do - woke up and didn't remember what it was I had to do. I still don't know.

Looking at your (pathetic) retirement savings and wondering how the fuck you are going to make it in XX years.

When I see a photograph or old tv show and there's only White people in it, and something feels wrong and right at the same time.

a stark reminder

Why is the future going so fast?

Next year's gonna be Super Bowl 60.

I can still recall when it was XXX.

Chrono Trigger is 30 now. Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Civilization II, Master of Orion II, and the releases of the N64.

When I watch Seinfeld now, I realize I'm older than the main cast, even into the later seasons...

I will be 62 this weekend.

Fuck, I'm old as dirt.

Why is the future going so fast?

Relativity is a bitch. Three months of summer vacation were grand adventures when we were kids, now three months is nothing. Which is testament to how much of a Faustian bargain immortality would be. After centuries of life, entire human lifespans would be as banal as watching TikTok videos.

I wasn't born when the Simpsons first aired on the Tracy Ullman show, now I'm rapidly approaching Homer's age.

I'm seeing it in my shopping behavior when I go out thrifting. 13 years ago, when I was younger, I was all like "man I'm excited to go out to this mom and pop store I know so I can try and find me some games I remembered playing! It's gonna be great, they got good prices! Let's go!".


Now when I thrift, 13 years later, it's all like "I'd like to have a good office chair, maybe get another coffee maker or something". I'm getting more anxious about what appliance or furniture I'm wanting to get than indulging on any interests I have remaining. And granted even back then when I saw a piece of furniture I thought I could use or something, yeah I'm pouncing on it, but it wasn't a primary goal as it is now.

Give me 10 - 15 more years and I'm gonna be excited getting fucking tupperware or whatever we'll be storing our leftovers in.
