    Quoted from cottonm4:

    I will need the readers. So, I am going to have to get a lanyard to hang the readers around my neck so I will always have them.

    Carry them in your shirt pocket like I do. All my t-shirts now are pocket T's.

    But it is a tradeoff I am happy with.

    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.

    I can’t link it at this time, but Tina Turner has died at 83.

    #5861 10 months ago

    The big guy, James Arness (Marshal Matt Dillon), would be turning 100 years old tomorrow.
    He passed away in 2011 at 88.
    Also would be John Wayne's birthday tomorrow.

    She was my sister’s fave artist. I had to send her a msg yesterday, as I know she was saddened to hear.

    Not exactly a household name, but if you have an interest in the card game of poker...
    "Doyle Brunson: ‘The Godfather of Poker’ has died aged 89."
    aka Texas Dolly.
    https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/15/sport/doyle-brunson-godfather-of-poker-died-spt-intl/index.html

    only 89?

    I remember watching him in the UK on Poker shows in the 90s - thought he was in his 80s then!

    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.

    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.

    When the g friend insists that you take some aspirin w you when you go golfing..in case someone has a ‘jammer’

    #5883 10 months ago

    When you’re too old to know what a jammer is.

    #5884 10 months ago

    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?

    #5885 10 months ago

    My guess is jammer = blood clot? haha

    #5886 10 months ago

    He's Canadian, "jammer" could mean anything........maybe it's metric........

    Quoted from hlaj78:

    The g friend refers jammer to a heart attack..I don’t know how she got that, but whatever..

    #5888 10 months ago

    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!

    #5889 10 months ago

    Quoted from GPS:

    When all your debt is gone!!

    Oh, so you have not bought a new car for awhile, then.

    #5895 10 months ago

    Cash for used vehicles is the way. Our goal is to have no mortgage or car payments going into retirement.

    #5896 10 months ago
    Quoted from DanMarino:

    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.

    #5897 10 months ago

    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.

    Pat Sajak is hanging it up.

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/12/entertainment/pat-sajak-retiring/index.html

    "Pat Sajak is preparing to spin the wheel on television’s long-running game show “Wheel of Fortune” for the last time."

    #5900 10 months ago

    wow, Wheel Of Fortune was still a thing? I hadn't heard of that in a looooong time, even as a cultural reference. Surely up there as one of the longest runs in TV history
