When, Why, and How?

Posted on the 11 November 2017 by Skip1957 @skip1957
I'm not sure when it began. It just snuck up on me, and BOOM! I was expecting it, but it still happened, and I didn't even know til it was too late. I don't know exactly why it happens, but happen it does, and to all of us, some sooner than later. 

You may be wondering what I'm rambling on about, well, it's simple, getting old. Old as in, jeez, if I had the money, I'd hire someone to pull my socks on for me. 

Yes, that simple little daily chore, has become complicated. I'm actually beginning to think my arms have grown shorter, I'm pretty sure my legs haven't grown longer. I still need a step stool to reach things on top of the kitchen cabinets. 

I'm also thinking my wife has renewed her sewing skills and has secretly made all my pants smaller. My stomach now hangs over the tops of my pants, and if it weren't for wearing a belt, they'd be forced to my knees. Speaking of my belt, I'm thinking someone has cut some of it off, and made it shorter. I'm running out of room to put new "holes" in it to fasten it properly.

I exercise regulary, walking, not jogging, I think the person that invented jogging wasn't intending to, I actyually think they were running away from someone or something. Getting back to my exercise, I walk from the bed to the bathroom evey morning. I walk from the bathroom to the kitchen, every morning. I walk from the kitchen to my computer desk, every morning. I walk... well, you get the idea, I walk a lot! 

All this walking hasen't improved my health or caused any weightloss, I'm beginning to think these people who are trying to sell us on the walking or jogging for exercise are full of shit! 

Don't even get me started on diets. There are more diets out there then you can shake a stick at, and most want to charge you and arm and a leg for meal supplements. I have, and only have had one diet regime in my life, it is the SeeFood diet. I see food, I eat it. I kid you, I don't eat everything, sweet potatoes suck, I don't eat those. 

When, Why, and How?

Man boobs, who the fuck invented that term? He should/she should be taken out and shot. No full grown elderly man wants to have boobs bigger than their grand daughters or wife, it just ain't right, and as Red Green has expressed so eloquently, "I don't go out in public with my shirt off, it scares the children, and confuses the babies". 


Anyway, I have come to except my getting older, the weight gain around the middle, and the slowing down. It is unavoidable, but jeez, did it have to begin so soon? 

When, Why, and How?


Ah hell, life goes on... at least for a little while I'm hoping! Have a great day everyone!
