Besides the physical act aging itself, is there anything else happening to you (personality-wise) as you age that you're not too thrilled about. I admit that I am becoming forgetful. Sometimes just sixty seconds after I set out to do something, it falls to the back of my mind and I'm thinking 'What the hell was I about to just do?' Then twenty seconds later it dawns on me again.

Chris, I'm with you on the forgetting but I wouldn’t call that a habit or personality trait. I think I’ve improved in some ways. I’m more patient then when I was younger.

I've become a lot more serious as I age and I don't know why.

If I was born in the 70's have I seen four or five?

Four. I was born in '79, so technically I have seen four (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s.)

Edit: I guess, technically, five now that I consider this new decade.

I have some forgetfulness too. I go to google & then it's like "uh...what?" Go in a room & forget why. lol But probably the main one for me is that the older I get the more my "give a damn" malfunctions. There's generally this filter we have between our brain & our mouth & mine is seriously starting to fail.

Forgot that too, huh?

I can't stand loud music in the car. Drives me batty. I always liked most music, but I am morphing into one of those people who says, "You can't even understand what they are singing..." So lame.

With the way music is today I think we're better off NOT knowing what they're singing, IF you can call it singing. See? I can do an old person well too.

OK, super...was that honesty, or mocking me??? LOL

No, that's genuinely how I feel about most alleged 'music' today, and I have for years.

I'm the same way. The other day I was at a gas station and this guy was pumping his gas while his radio was blasting music and all I could think of was "how rude!" Is your music that vital to that you can't turn it off for five minutes to pump gas or are you a narcissist who thinks everyone wants to hear what's on your radio and are just looking for attention? In some regards I guess I'm getting crankier with age.

are you a narcissist who thinks everyone wants to hear what's on your radio


That was SO me five years ago...now I "one of those" folks who doesn't wanna hear it! LOL

I say fight fire with fire...we don't want to hear the new crap, so I introduce everybody I know to the bad 80s music that I find to be SOOOOOOOOOOO much better. Seriously, I don't get why people hate a lot of it. Here's one of my favorites:




This song, not the video, the song, was listed #1 on VH1's list of 40 most incredibly BAD hit songs, and there were about 10 or 20 others on that list that deserved that title more than this.

Super, great song!

I certainly think so, it's been a favorite of mine for years.

Next thing you know, you old farts are going to be telling sales clerks, "Shut up and give me my damn discount!"
