So sorry to hear this..... and it seems to be happening to so many young people in the last two years or so.

Honestly i wished i could blame the covid vaccine but it wasnt. I would never get it, but i am glad i didnt. Today i was informed at cardiac rehab that ALOT of younger ppl that were vaccinated are having heart problems due to the vaccine.

So this eighty year old man goes to the doctor for his annual physical. The doc says before you leave I would like a stool and urine sample. The man replies, "In kind of a hurry doc can I just leave my underwear?"

My son did after his required to work 2nd booster. Heart rhythm irregularities, chest discomfort --took weeks to resolve. Scary stuff. Glad you still on your feet...!!

I'm older. We had to park at the Oakwood drive-in and put our 12V 45 player in the pkg tray and a reverb on the AM Wolf Man Jack out of KOMA

Only thing it's missing is a matchbook to keep it from messing up hitting bumps. Only the older ones will understand

Too many young people going around here. A guy from my job that retired on a disability in November recently died. He was 51. My wife's son literally just called her an hour ago to tell her that his dad is in the ICU with heart failure. 48 years old. I just turned 52 and try my best to take care of myself. I run a lot, workout regularly, etc. It just stinks when people so young are dying around you and the first thing you do is try to validate the reason; he smoked, I don't, he was overweight and ate like crap, I'm not/don't eat too bad, etc.

So sorry to hear about the young people in your life who are having trouble... but I'm glad to hear that you are taking good care of yourself: Exercise, eating, and avoiding bad habits like smoking and drunkeness are huge - throughout life, but especially after you hit your 50s and mantaining that discipline begins to involve some pain. There are no guarantees because there are many random things in life over which we have no control, so none of us know what tomorrow will bring. But... good habits and a positive, thankful outlook offer the best chance of enjoying the later parts of our lives as fully as possible.

Thanks. Haven't had a drink in just over 15 years, never smoked, definitely try to do the right thing. My job can take its toll. Have lost some good friends and had more than enough close calls, but I still enjoy it. Been doing it for over 27 years. Can retire at 32 years on the job, but that will depend on my youngest who will be starting college in the fall.

Anyway, enough about that. Sorry to get off topic. Back to the old fart jokes

When you are at a Big Dance and your wife says have you seen all the pretty girls here? And your thoughts were, "I wonder what food they have at the snack bar" hahaha

You know you're really old when you take a pee at 5am., take a dump at 6am., and dont get out of bed until 10am.
And when you feel 20yrs older than you actually look. Which is where I'm at, I'm usually safe from the previously listed telltale sign for now

You know you're getting old when you write up a shopping list for the grocery store then forget what you did with it.

I do that at times, but I must not be too old since I do get up out of bed before going pee or poop in the middle of the night...
