You know you're getting old.... (2 Viewers)

retro gamers like playing on CRTs, i've learned. i sold a PS2 a couple of years ago, asked 20 quid for it, not realising that i probably could have asked close to €100. the guy who picked it up even offered me €40 for it, he couldn't believe his luck.

I once had two lightmeters (i.e for photography) - one a basic, old fashioned, but useful one with the discs on the front to work out.

the other a proper polaris studio meter.

when I put the latter up on adverts, I mixed up what I had paid for it with the cheaper one, meaning the eventual buyer got a serious bargain!
 
Further to last nights shenanigans mentioned elsewhere, A beautiful young woman asked me to dance last night. Not the woman who pinched my bum. It was open mic night and the singer was playing a local standard that I knew the words to.

I realise now that she was actually dancing with the safe old man, rather than actually having any interest in me. I felt super at the time. Now I feel like a joke.

Then I danced with a more age appropriate lady. She's lovely, but probably as desperate as I am. Her daughter was embarrassed. Her daughter is of drinking age. Fuck this.

Some women are into older men. I wouldn't write yourself off ... or write the more age-appropriate lady off either, my daughter is of drinking age and I still have the bigtime hots for her mother (aka Mrs. egg_)

I'm all good. The young one who danced was grand, her friends were confused. The older one used to feed me chips and Guinness when I was working-but-broke. Because that was £5 back then and she worked here. it's weird having her treating me as an equal, same age type person.
 
I was at a funeral today for a 29 year old friend from work.
I feel like a dick for all my aging complaints, as I’m incredibly privileged to have made it to even the age I am.

I think we have to remind ourselves of this all the time
Grey hair and all those aches and pains and everything else, they are all wonderful bonuses of getting to hang around a little longer

It's a wonderful service the dead give us; they remind us how much life we have left in us
If only we could thank them

I am very sorry for your loss
 
I'm not getting any wans of any description lately. BECAUSE I'M SUCH A NICE GUY!!!!

Mr. friendzone over here.

Sorry for all of your losses. Don't let it make you feel old in a bad way. Whatever DMP said about enjoying the moments you have and that.
