Getting old and maybe grumpier. Less time for things that you dislike. Signs of being old, things that annoy you? --- When you become the old man yelling on the lawn. When used to stay by the radio to record that song. When a singer croon, was not all auto-tune. When prefer dial-pad to "say a phrase" in poor telephone menu. When most phones had a 3.5mm jack. When before Pattinson, it was Bat-affleck.'' When the Cloud was something in the sky. When before you had Wi-Fi. When dial-up CompuServe, AOL and Yahoo When a cookie was eaten and didn't follow you. When before Likes, Subs and Views When you used to watch ads, now they watch you. When drinking water was not bottled. When no Housewives shows, awful. When Corona referred to the Sun or bad beer. When before Amazon, there was Sears. When paying cash was normal (looking at you apple store, cash and check is legal tender) When self-checkout abnormal When tattoos was abnormal When clipper fans were rare, paranormal When before Karen was a meme. When Karen was only a name. When Karen now, use their middle names. When Karen no future baby names. When sedans out sold S.U.Vs When a car was not bigger than what you need. When consumers had a right to repair. When before helicopter parenting, childcare.
At the house in town in Marble Falls nobody really has a fence there's just foliage and large lot size distance for privacy. I find my neighbor's kids' toys on that side of my mom's yard every single time I mow. Not good for the mower blades, really not good for the toys. Other than that, it's "Slow the hell down" because aholes (especially the HS kids with the vroomvroom loud vehicles) love to use this part of the neighborhood as a cut through.
Like Homer said Forever... Forever.... Forever..... Forever Young. My daily diet consists of Meatloaf.
I literally kicked my leaf blower around my back yard in frustration a couple years ago and I’m pretty sure I did a good impression of the dad in a Christmas Story while I did it. It was probably a good twenty five kicks and it got kind of fun at the end when I got the physics down. I then mashed the priming bulb at least thirty times and it started. I also grouse about the ‘****ing Bumpuses’ when the neighbors five dogs won’t stfu.
