And i can see the lenses getting all kinds of scratches as one goes about his daily routine. Cool looking product but I am not an early adopter. Plus, I am of the opinion that products designed to do more than one thing usually do a crappy job for each item it will do.

I don't do T-shirts. Period. When I got out of the Navy the first thing I did was toss my T-shirts.
I'm a cheap bastard and the lanyards are cheap.

I go for long sleeve all cotton shirts and roll up the sleeves. Flannel in the winter is very nice.

You are old when you are on vacation and fall getting into the hot tub because you can’t raise your leg high enough to get in. Then 2 hours later the same leg experiences a full leg cramp of all muscles and your wife has to give you a teaspoon full of yellow mustard to eat so the cramps will go away. The mustard magically made the cramps go away in 3 or 4 minutes max. Amazing. Eating a teaspoon of mustard is yucky.
Quoted from DanMarino:a teaspoon full of yellow mustard to eat so the cramps will go away. The mustard magically made the cramps go away in 3 or 4 minutes max.
Interesting. Never heard of this.

One of the main causes for leg cramps AKA Charlie horses is a lack of potassium in your body. Painkillers such as ibuprofen deplete potassium from your body especially as you get older. I recommend potassium 99 MG every Night before you go to bed.

You could have had a pretzel or brat with it.
Quoted from pinzrfun:You know you're old when you turn 59, like I did today!

Zanfel, it works!
When the g friend insists that you take some aspirin w you when you go golfing..in case someone has a ‘jammer’
Or how aspirin could counteract whatever a jammer is!
My first guess was another word for Boom Box but my daughter has never heard of that, so I don't think it's an age thing. Maybe it's regional?
Quoted from hlaj78:When you’re too old to know what a jammer is.
The g friend refers jammer to a heart attack..I don’t know how she got that, but whatever..
I choose to take that revelation as proof I'm not really old, since I haven't hung out with enough old people to pick up any slang terms for heart attack!

Quoted from GPS:When all your debt is gone!!
Oh, so you have not bought a new car for awhile, then.
Cash for used vehicles is the way. Our goal is to have no mortgage or car payments going into retirement.
Quoted from DanMarino:Cash for used vehicles is the way. Our goal is to have no mortgage or car payments going into retirement.
That is a good goal. Cash for used cars is me since the very first car. Small house paid for 30 years ago.
I have no debts and live cheap.
I don't starve. I live cheap.
Retirement is a blast.
Haven't turned on the big main oven in months because we got a bad ass air fryer. Cooks a whole chicken when taken apart in 28 minutes at 380 C.
