    Strange part of being older (67), I don't think like I'm old, and damn sure don't drive like I'm old either........yes I've got the dropsies more than I did while younger and it irritates me..........don't handle the heat as well but not on any prescription meds and tell them when they ask if I still smoke......like a 63 Dodge................

    At 73 I don't feel old but when I look in a mirror it takes me a minute, who's the old guy?

    Getting old is sucking, mounting scope on rifle dropping the screws over and over feel like an uncoordinated old man.

    Here is a bit of help: Visit your surgical supply and ask for “needle holders” & “needle driver clamps”. Those, not “hemostats”, are the surgeon’s mini-pliers.

    Then get someone to show you how to hold them; it is NOT “intuitive’’. Hint: the thumb & RING finger go through the holes, not the index finger nor the long finger.

    You will thank me later.

    These are made for handling small metal objects.

    If getting older doesn't work, you could ask for a refund on the unused portion.

    Old is when you go to the post office with a package and the lady behind the counter can't lift your package due to a rotator cuff injury. But you make sure to lift with most of the weight on your right hand since too much weight on the left bothers that ever annoying steel plate in your left wrist that you broke last year when old. Then you pickup the 17lb dog from the groomer that scratches your right hand and left arm which bleed since you've lost all the fat in those areas and take blood thinners.

    Just saying...

    People thing I am full of crap when they ask how old I am and I reply that I don't know, but it is true. I quit having birthdays the day after I was able to stop lying about my age to buy a bottle of whisky.

    Yes, I know what year I was born and yes, the math is simple, but I really just don't give rats a$$ how many laps I have made around the sun.
