Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The thing I hate the most about getting old is that everyone I know and friends with similar to my age is becoming a gigantic pussy. And their excuse is “I’m getting older”.
Fuck that nonsense pain is not an injury

My ear hair grows like Tim Allen's in the Santa Clause...I pluck one and another immediately grows in its place.
The older I get the smarter I become and everyone else is so damn stupid. (Or maybe I’m just grumpy)
Things I used to take for granted, like taking a long walk or hike through woods, I'm not able to do now. So frustrating.

Not being able to sleep well...
DIYing? Isn't that called suicide?
Getting up at all hours of the night to pee and not being able to go back to sleep.
One thing I like about aging is I don't give a shit what I say to anyone. I will treat people nice and cordial but don't irritate me because there is no middle ground. I'm nice and the easiest person to get along with or a Marine DI - no in between.

I’m only 40 (literally turned 40 today) and I’m already there.

50 is the magic number brocephus. Just wait.
A switch comes on and you DGAF about anyone at all. Who gives a shit.
I'm 55 and if I leave the house looking like a vagrant WGAF. If I haven't shaved in 3 weeks WGAF.
And if I want to cuss out loud because Walmart doesn't have the vitamins I'm looking for WGAF.
There is freedom in getting older my friend.....
GD if that red line isn't me in a nutshell. My wife asked me the other day "Do you have any shoes that tie?". I have my Crocs, my slip on Sketchers, and my Hey Dudes..so no I fucking don't. I have some dress shoes with laces, but those only come out for weddings and funerals.50 is the magic number brocephus. Just wait.

Turned 51 a few weeks back, and am about as ZFG's on appearance as you can get.
Ear hair, elbow,shoulders, knees,back, hands, pain and not trusting farts the day after drinking. I piss a lot now too. And not a good strong 8ft distance. A stand over the bo and wait for a min while the pump primes

Add to it balls in water and dick hitting it to at 4am when I get up. Holding that shit outta the water sucks.
A good idea would be to make a toilet where the water wasn't as high as my balls hang low

Things I've discovered/hacks that have helped improve some of the things mentioned above:
- Hair: Have a pair of tweezers handy and part of the daily routine
- Poor sleep: Sleep in an inclined position. Discovered this years ago sleeping in a recliner in the hospital room my wife was giving birth in. If I sleep flat I don't breath well, I toss and turn because my arthritic hip flares, and I wake up with a stiff lower back.
- Stiff joints: Diet is very important. Eating foods that reduce inflammation works for me. Pineapple is a primary one...I eat a cup or so everyday (learned this from Lee Haney). Peppers and many other natural foods help.
- Also joints: Strength training, daily stretching, and weight control. I started following the Knees Over Toes guy's programming (not all of it, just some) and the knee pain I had in my left knee went away. Also, 10+ years ago, I used to receive cortisone shots in my hip and was told by my sports med doc that I would need hip replacement. I continued to lift weights (heavy) and stretch and haven't had surgery yet. It is still more stiff than my other hip and hurts sometimes, but I continue to stretch and it improves. Most days I forget about it. I don't deny I will need surgery sometime, but I'm putting it off as long as I can.
- Peeing: I got nothing. I drink a gallon of water a day (and some beer) and pee all day and usually wake up in the middle of the night to pee.

The thing I hate most about being over 50 Is that the 20yr old chicks aren't interested in me anymore.
