Don't know what I am. A grumpy old man, I guess.

Dad wouldn't mind another member to the Grumpy Old Men society.

When John Madden said that you can only have one big pain or else how does the aspirin know where to go, he was not this old yet.

When my level of daily arthritic pain is workable, I am a happy old man with lots of cool stuff I want to do still.
Just do not stand between me and the nearest toilet.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

It's a calling, really.

I think I probably qualify for this thread now. Speak up son!  :poke:

When your co-workers are mostly your kids' ages, and they've noticed... and nobody ever says 'you don't look old enough for that' any more  :lol1:

I'm definitely getting to be a grumpy bastard, middle age has found me creaky, knackered and rattling like a chemist's shop. What I have left on top is a nice 50/50 blend of silver and black nowadays, though the beard's mostly black still. What I don't like is the encroaching baldy bits and the amount of daylight you can see through the rest. Especially when my youngest gleefully starts poking at new bits of scalp to make sure I'm aware of it. Cheeky little shit.
