What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?

If the website only uses two digit years, eventually you'll hit a time where you don't need to scroll at all.

I was in a mosh pit for the first time in 7 years last year. I got fucking destroyed and was sore for about 2 weeks. I also slipped walking my dog during a big snow we had a few weeks ago and took me a little bit longer to get up than I used too. I am not old by any means and working on getting back in shape, but its starting
Not me, but my dad and his gf were at a headshop to get a new bowl/slide for their bong. They texted me and my wife to see "what the kids were calling them now a days" after a guess or two I said slide and then went on a tangent how a slide is a slide, and the kids kept trying to sell them a downstem lol. A few younger guys at my last job gave me shit for calling a banger a nail. Weed lingo sucks lol

If you spend most of your teenage and adult years over the weight of 220 pounds you can move your timetable ahead 10 - 15 years. Permanent medication at 30 or 40, debilitating pain especially in the knees at 45, heart problems anytime from 40-60, welcoming death at 80,

Yes, I've had that a few times. Although being substantially older than your manager is externally no big deal unless you make it so, in the cold dark recesses of your own mind it can really start to grind some gears if you let it.

Yeah I felt I dated myself by talking about listening to the radio. I don't know if this is of any help to you: I started taking guitar lessons at 50 and although I may never perform publicy, I enjoy just playing alone or with a few jam buddies. Around the same time I started going to punk shows again and after a little time made friends with some of the regulars (just like old times). Covid and inflation derailed that but I still make it out a few times a year. We all have our own personal obstacles though

When i was young i could sleep on a staircase and walk off next day as if nothing happened.
But now i sleep on pillow with slight angle and the next day is hell with neck and mid back pain.
Also alcohol tolerance reduced

Gray pube.

Yeah. It feels like the brain processes memories and their durations in relation to experienced total. When you are 5, one year is 20% of your life and feel like eternity. When you are 50 it's 2% of your life and goes by pretty quick.

I feel like this is not a part of getting older. Arent there things that are exiting to you or make you happy?
-
Not many. Not as much as it used to be

I thought you're gonna say a dad joke so I will!
At least you didn't have a Winter

Well that took me a minute - oh, autumn, you're talking about autumn! Ha ha, excellent dad joke.

I feel both of these. I'm 40 and yeah, sleeping slightly weirdly I get shoulder pain the next day. Working out regularly has definitely helped things. Also for alcohol, I have to be careful to also include non-alcoholic drinks in an evening, say a non-alcoholic beer or something before the real thing.
