in my 50's i had what's called "frozen shoulder" too much windsurfing, weightlifting, golfing, etc...once the surgery was done the doctor told me "you should try to act your age" i told him "thanks, but no."

get it fixed, it's worth it.

Totally, it isn't that 15 years ago somebody in Silicon Valley came up with the idea "It would be so great to rule entire country on 140 character or shorter messages". That only started happening because of popular demand.

When you start telling people you're "X years young" you're actually old as f**k, so it's a very personal number. Some people may never get old based on that.

Old = current age + 10

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

Pretty sure CaptCo just reads that as THOT and I'm sure he's a big fan...

Had to get one last jab in. Clearly I'm not here on weekends.
